There is an article in today's Express, one entitled "Keep control of your democracy", an article so asinine in content that it could only have been written by David Cameron.
"That’s why there’s so much more at stake in next month’s referendum than just how we vote at elections. At stake is how our democracy works – the power you have over politicians and your control over who wins and who loses."
The power, Mr. Cameron, we have over politicians (of which you are a shining example - not) is non-existent because politicians still retain the powers that they have, over time, usurped from the electorate, consequently it matters not to the electorate who wins or who loses as all politicians are, presently, liars, cheats, venal - and therefore cannot be trusted. Oh and by the way, Mr. Cameron, our democracy is not working due to the centralised power, lying, cheating and venality of you and your political colleagues - although once we have dealt with you all, it will do!
Cameron cites two reasons for hating politics today; politicians who don't stick to manifesto promises; and politicians who don't speak their minds - stating that AV will cause even more of the same. This is a tad rich coming from someone who has had more 'U' turns over the past few months than someone using 'sat-nav' on a short trip to the shops; and who has misled Parliament over matters EU. He complains about politicians trying to please all of the people, all of the time; and politicians wasting public money - and one has to ask whats new, especially where he is concerned: EU, Big Society, Happiness Index?
