Substitute clique, vested interests, cronies and news headlines for 'public' and you know where there supposed legitimacy comes from. As WfW says, we vote for our government on the basis of a manifesto of generally vague, ill-defined policies and aspirations based on that supposedly public demand, of which some they intend to keep, some to keep in spirit only, some they never intend to see the actual light of day and some, the majority it seems to me, simply placeholders for things they know have little public support but want to do anyway.<br /><br />This is because they do not see their role as expressing the public will, they see their role as a God given right to do what they decide is best. It is purely accidental if what they do happens to be good for the man in the street, because the man in the street is at the very bottom of their priorities. Those priorities are to do the best for their clique, vested interests and cronies while mitigating any contrary news headlines. The commentators and party cheerleaders the likes of d'Ancona and Montgomerie are simply a part of that mitigation.<br /><br />And no, while there are no consequences for ineptitude and no popular control of either the purse strings or legislation there is no reason why we shouldn't just rise up and slaughter them. More than no reason, no alternative is closer to the truth.PeterCharlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-960960698221168222011-10-09T05:51:35.117-07:002011-10-09T05:51:35.117-07:00oops - so annoyed I can't type properly.oops - so annoyed I can't type properly.Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-58562164873110175632011-10-09T05:50:34.555-07:002011-10-09T05:50:34.555-07:00Negotiation!

Do an FoI Request and see if it confirms the claim that areas like Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchesterm West Yorkshire, Hull are heavily prescribed SSRI mood controlling drugs long-term to keep the dissatisfaction docile.<br /><br />Then watch Al-Jazeera "Meltdown" produced by CBC of Canada and watch the riots in France 2010 and Greece, and ask why they never appeared on UK TV.<br /><br />Ask why a grieving father in Birmingham was lavished with praise in August when he urged his ethnic group not to get into battle with another ethnic group which had killed his sons....why we were not told the ethnicity of the killers; why we did not learn this father awaiting trial for GBH and was on bail......why was "News" manipulated.<br /><br />Is it because the Gilded Elite are frightened of Revolution ?TomTomnoreply@blogger.com
