I reckon there are masses against one thing or another - problem is they are blinkered and can only see their own pet hobby-horse. That is something the polies rely on and which continues their divide and rule programme.<br /><br />I believe that until we have some form of direct democracy, where people have to get involved, they will remain acquiescent (?)and sheep-like.WitteringsfromWitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026875251366365154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-8786536218895323102011-08-03T14:32:38.054-07:002011-08-03T14:32:38.054-07:00Reading the newspapers online makes it possible to...Reading the newspapers online makes it possible to cover them all save the paywall Times in 10 minutes.

Parties are now ruling with, at best, 26% of vote, as 40% of the elctorate can't be arsed and postal voting is a frauds paradise, is it any wonder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-44692225839569777272011-08-03T11:32:33.676-07:002011-08-03T11:32:33.676-07:00k: Your last suggestion has merit - providing they...k: Your last suggestion has merit - providing they continue it without pay!WitteringsfromWitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026875251366365154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-10162223783206248542011-08-03T11:25:26.629-07:002011-08-03T11:25:26.629-07:00It always amazes me that MPs who are so skillful a...It always amazes me that MPs who are so skillful at interview techniques and appear to understand all the procedures of our parliamentary system are so stupid when it comes to the bleeding obvious. For example:<br />You can't be in Europe without being governed by Europe.<br />You shouldn't borrow money to lend to someone else, especially when that loan won't be repaid.<br />You don't stimulate your economy by increasing taxation.<br />These are obvious to us ordinary people so why are our MPs acting so thick? Maybe we'd be better off if their holiday never ends.kenomeatnoreply@blogger.com
