Obviously, it does not matter to Greg anymore but for the main parties alot now depends on when the election is and what memories people have of this scandal and what further skeletons will come out the cupboard. I really do think that people will treat the three main parties with the contempt they deserve; they are all corrupt to the core. Any ideological differences they may have had have long since vanished and each exists solely for the purpose of the exercising of power for no ones gratification other than their own.
Good independent candidates, irrespective of age but who are betoken to no one other than their constituents now have their best ever chance of election to a parliament and to get the radical changes we so need.
By the way, I see the Observer is leading on Greg's housing claims. Just a shame they missed on his accountant's bills which the taxpayer has paid.....or is this for another thread?
