It is clear to me, and becomes clearer with every day that passes, that the politicians in this country, and many others, are no longer to be trusted. The parties, who control what they say and do, are themselves the subject of control by collectivists. We fondly imagine that we live in a democracy where every individual vote counts, and governments can be dismissed if they are seen to be acting against the national interest. But what sort of choice is it which lies in choosing between three parties all of whom espouse essentially the same policies which emanate from the same source?

Where is the party in this country which says that government and more government is not the answer to all our woes? Where is the politician who espouses the view that taxes should be slashed to the absolute minimum? Which is the MP brave enough to stand up and say that the welfare budget can no longer be bourne and that we, the people, should learn to stand on our own two feet and take responsibility for our own lives, instead of running to nanny state everytime it looks like it might rain?

Incrementally, since 1945, we have been lulled into accepting the fact that larger and larger slices of our national sovereignty have been signed away in treaty after treaty. David Cameron will go to Brussels today and offer up yet more. We have been led, blinded by state largesse, into a dictatorship which compells and prohibits and circumscribes our freedoms, and one which will, under the guise of economic necessity, eventually extinguish them altogether. It is the same political philosophy which rose in Russia in 1917 and again in Germany in 1933; different feathers but essentially the same bird. It is the same political philosophy which prompted Ed Milliband to persuade Graham Jones to vote against the Euro referendum last autumn.

What is to be done? Perhaps things have to get an awful lot worse before people begin to recognise the deception that has been practised on them. Trouble is, by that time, it may already be too late.
