Well, I can see that my previous optimism for http://uk-voice.org.uk/ was a little misplaced. I feel sorry for the poor bloke who's spent all his time setting it up in the hope that thinking people would look at it as a way of airing their views and maybe getting to grips with the problems that the country's going through, themselves, instead of leaving it to a Government (does it deserve the capital letter?) that is more interested in governing than serving the people, which is what democracy is all about. I think we need a modern version of Oliver Cromwell, but without the prejudices. Someone who can tell Parliament what they can and can't do to the people and on behalf of the people without consulting them first. Why is it that parties in opposition offer so much and, when they get into office, they change. They can't be so stupid as to think that what they offer is workable, if it isn't and that we will believe them, which we don't and that we won't notice the change, which we do. But, surely, we can't go on like this, can we? Each different party promises all these well laid out offers, like a cheap shop, and then once we've bought their line, the guarantee runs out. It happens every time, haven't we got wise to it yet?
