The whole p...(22.34) It was meant as a compliment!<br /><br />The whole party politics thing should be abolished. All politicians at all levels should be independent, representing the majority view of their ward/constituency - which is what they are supposed to do already.<br />However, we all know most politicians exist solely to dictate the party line to the constituents, rather than dictating their constituents wishes to parliament - which is how democracy is SUPPOSED to work!<br /><br />Central government can't keep banging on about how they want to "de-centralise" power, when they rule with a system of whips!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597212839826054842.post-7625188579371134722009-12-23T22:46:50.688+00:002009-12-23T22:46:50.688+00:00Anon 22.34,
