Thats kinda what we already do...you share your view, we bitch and whine. Some of us don't vote, some of us spoil our votes and some of us religiously trudge down to the polling station in the vain hope that our vote will matter, only to be totally disappointed when the guy who promises change and to speak for you does an about face, because he suddenly becomes 'in the know' and calls you lazy and ignorant of facts when you attempt to debate.
You blame the people. I blame the system.
You only have to look at the current government..a coalition..the libdems have an ideal position to effect real change with their casting vote..instead they sold their souls for cabinet seats, reneging on numerous manifesto pledges and actively voting the opposite to what they told their grass root voters before the election, selling them down the river for the proverbial mess of potage.
Think about it..liberal values agreeing with conservative values is an anathema to both, hell the words 'liberal' and 'conservative' are damn near antonyms... yet they go to bed with each other..not for the good of the people..but for the individual power, kudos and company directorships once they leave their political lives!
In this country you cannot form a government unless a political party has a majority, and oddly enough they can manage this with a minority of the vote..the people say no, the system says yes....
You are soooo.. wrong my friend...people are not stupid, they can see the wood despite the trees, they are just flailing around on social media like this forum, howling at the moon because it makes them feel better, but knowing full well that tomorrow will just bring more of the same.
We are supposed to have a parliamentary democracy, where the people really matter and have a voice...I'd argue that we have a feudalistic government, where the nobility (rich or 'in the know') govern for themselves and to hell with everyone else (serfs)...mother of all parliaments my backside! We have a 12th century system in 21st century Britain
