Well said, Shepherdlass, New-Labour = New-Tory.

Our fundamental problem is that we do NOT live in a democracy. A democracy is where your vote counts. (See a dictionary).

Our constituency system is set up to stifle any and all minor opinions and skews the result so much that only 2 parties have a chance of winning. And when those 2 parties are virtually indistinguishable......what's the point?

And then they wonder why young people don't vote!

Emigrate, I say....but where to....they're just as bad....oh b*gger!
