[QUOTE="Spectric, post: 1548111, member: 21600"] I think it goes much deeper in the UK, here politics has become stagnant, stale, perceived as corrupt, outdated and tied to history. Yes people are now voting to stop someone rather than for a candidate which shows how PP the choice now is. There are so many issues and yet they call it a democratic system, how can that be when in elections the turnout often only represents a small percentage who bother to vote because the rest are probably so disillusioned with it all. Our next election in two years will more than likely end in a hung parliament, no one is going to want another Borris fiasco and if he hangs around much longer the rot will just eat through the tory party, as for labour well plenty of hot air and criticism of everyone else but not much else and the others have no real presence. What we need is a total overhaul of everything and not just a collection of politicians, it needs to be made of a more diverse group of people from engineering, sciences, etc etc so you get a realistic outcome when decisions are made. Lets have a new parliament building outside of london, leave all the historcal pomp and bshiete behind and put it in the middle of the country. On top of this let's get real and accept that we are no longer a world super power and need to play cat and mouse with the big boys and playing war games because we will only end up getting hurt. Put the people first and hit poverty, taking back our streets, addressing homelessness and looking after the old rather than just treating them as no further use burdens. This unfortunately needs a new type of political system and leadership. The British have never been good at people management and leadership, they have been responsable for many failures so how can we expect a successful government, perhaps it is time to do what others do and that is bring in leaders under contract like sport clubs do a lot of, must be a reason why they use so many foreign managers and less british.
