The big question here is people's lack of involvment in politics , thats to say how many poeple bother to vote in elections, National Local and EU ....
Go on, next time your in the pub or out for a meal just ask your mates if they know who thier MP, thier councillor and indeed thier MEP are?
I'm not trying to patronise anyone here, cause in truth I don't know the names of the last two for myself. But the big issue here is how have we become so apathetic as a democratic society? Look at Zimbabwe ?
