Re: Parliament needs to reflect the people it represents.

like JCB I cannot vote for parties which do not reflect my core values.
I am not apathetic, I am not lazy. I go to the polling station........and I am compelled to write 'none of the above' on my ballot paper.

To vote for a party that will govern with the least harm is not what a democracy is about(it seems to me that politics is becoming more like a personality contest than a search to find someone who can lead the country...who cares what the wives of the politicians look like, or what their kitchens are like...it is all tosh)...and in any case the speech recently by Tony Blair confirms that we do not really have a democracy......just the illusion of one.
