What I think will make no difference to anything Greg, but one thing I have learned in my lifetime, is that relying on the political establishment to change anything in real terms is a pipe dream.
they look after their own interests and any one who rocks the boat is demonised ......as is happening in the UK right now, where Labour Party MPs are trying to obstruct and remove a leader (who was elected by a huge majority of Party members), for daring to talk about socialism.

Mrs Palin is not a political apparatchik. She tells it as she sees it and it would be in her interests to represent the whole electorate not a sector.
