Seriously disillusioned with the ever degrading quality of government.

Posted by Enough on Wednesday, 21 February 2007 19:58:44

I have serious reservations regarding what I perceive as a manically egotistical attitude demonstrated by the majority of senior politicians in today's parliament.

Why do successive governments implement policy with total disregard for the general wishes of the electorate? Do you consider that becoming elected as the next Prime Minister will be justification for your party to implement any policy without regard for the sometimes shifting views of the population or will you endeavour to determine a balance between what you as "David Cameron, Prime Minister" considers to be the best policy and what you perceive to be the general wishes of the electorate?

Previous governments, both Labour and Conservative, have severely overstepped the mark in implementing some policies that are plainly unpopular with the man in the street. Why do politicians believe that they know so much better than the electorate? It seems to me that we simply elect limited term dictatorships and not a body of intelligent, sensitive individuals that will be genuine and determined in making policy that benefits the people of this great country.

Mr. Cameron, please give me a good reason to vote for you.

Regards,
Tim

As the only candidate who has or is likely to declare what is wrong with British politics, I hope Meacher wins:

In fact, I asked him to stand. You may be happy to wait until Cameron puts his cards on the table and fights the election with a hidden 4% bias against him, but I am not. Parliament and the British constitution need fixing now.

I hope Meacher or McDonnell wins - it might temporarily please Michael Foot, but it would give the Conservatives a landslide in 2009 or 2010 if Labour was to drift back to the left.
