I read the article below in The Independent this morning, so is the government saying firstly, that they introduce polices not knowing whether they will work; secondly that after ignoring the findings of nearly every public consultation that has ever been commissioned they are now going to listen to ordinary people; and thirdly will this mean we can save a fortune and get rid of the current decision makers - The Cabinet ;-) |

If everyone was a floating voter assessing each party at each election, instead of the party faithful who will vote for a monkey on a stick as long as it is wearing the right colour rosette, we might get politicians to listen. |

they never listen to the people because once they are elected they consider themselves above "the people" |

AnnC, You no that's not true, They consider themselves above "the people" all of the time it's just at election time that they are prepared to stoop down to our level to gain a vote, That's where Gordon Brown got his smile from ;-) |
