Don’t you think that if all those of us who ARE disgusted with politics, voted for just ONE looney party ( I’m not thinking UKIP, that would be disgusting ), then they might just get the message ?
Let them put a spin on that !!
It’s a major flaw of democracy that when the majority rule then very little is achieved due to the laborious debates that follow. A meritocracy, where political positions are filled by experts in there field with no political idealogy to constrain them is the way forward for me. A drug tsar who actually knows the science on addiction and rehabilitation. An education minister who has actually been a teacher. And an health minister who ISN’T in BUPA!!!
Is it too much too ask that someone who heads a multi-billion pound department, in whatever field,at least has some qualification in said field. I mean you wouldn’t appoint a an accountant has the manager of your football team?
