[Margaret Pilkington]

The argument for proportional representation is that it would level out the playing field for those lesser parties…not the big two….the lines between these two parties is much less clearly defined than at any other time in the past.
But there are still those who would vote for a monkey if it dressed in the colours of the party they support regardless of their manifesto…we saw that with a certain MP for Hyndburn….all that promise that was wasted.

Oh yes, Manifesto’s….they are not to be trusted are they?

Taddy, I was taught that it was important to vote too….but there have bern times when I have walked down to the polling station and written on my ballot paper ‘none of the above’…or something similar.
This means I have wasted my vote, but I have attended and as much as I can have shown my disappointment with the candidates.

Voting only changes things if those we elect follow through on their promises.
I feel that over the years democracy has become just a facade…a front and a platform for those who wish to follow their own agenda.

The other thing that has to be considered is that civil servants are unelected, but seem to be determining political policy…or if not determining it, definitely manipulating it.
