"Slowly but surely, we are becoming a democracy"

How can you be a democracy when the people you elect do not do what they categorically said they would do when they were being elected. And even if you accept that circumstances may make demands on a party after an election, how will you know which promises will stand and which will be broken?

This is not a democracy, it is a lottery and anyone who saw Question Time last night will have an idea of the anger it has caused.
