Don. I didn't bring up the Harold Wilson quote out of any respect for the man. I am glad you found it amusing and I agree with you about him but I think you missed the point. You commented that 'that' party had 13 years to do better. Echoing the infamous ex-PS's quote in the early 60's. You believe one thing, someone else believes another. The thing is probably neither of you are right.

All political parties share one thing in common. They desire power. To my mind that is their over-riding ambition. They will say anything to gain that power and then do anything to avoid having to fulfill those promises. They all sicken me in varying degrees but, sadly, it is all we have and I have neither the intellect or power to provide an alternative. I used to effectively always spoil my vote by putting my 'X' next to Green or independent but in Salford it made no difference. Fortunately where I am now we do have an genuine independent at local council level who was returned in our ward last month.
