I have a strange feeling that if Dave, caring, sharing, embracing of all minorities, hug-a-hoodie, Cameron had proposed these much needed changes, some people would think it was the best thing for democracy since the vote was given to all those eligible, regardless of their class, wealth, or gender.

This isn't about party politics. It's about dragging government out of an antiquated past, and into the twenty first century.

It is morally wrong to have people in power who weren't elected to that position by the greater majority, but there either because of their 'noble' birth, or the fact that they've been rewarded, for whatever reason. Which usually involves some sort of payment, either financial, or verbal.
