Politicians have the title of ‘Honourable’ and the recent expenses fiasco is merely the last issue in a long line of dishonourable acts.
I agree that there are some who stand to make a difference, however it would seem they are few. I understand that the media merely publish that which makes a good story/headline, but listen to any interview of any politician and they seem unable to answer a simple question. How often are they asked closed questions (where the answer cn only be yes or no) and they witter on for ages not answering but just saying what they want, regardless?
As for actual policies, these are not intended actions. I’ve yet to meet ANY politician ‘doorstepping’.
It is time we moved from an adversarial parliament to a more productive system. Perhaps the cabinet should be made up from the elected MPs selecting from witin their ranks? I don’t know.
