This politics malarkey is all a load of bollocks, from the hopeless local councillor to the MPs, they are only in for career progression and to look after their own interests. Is it any wonder there is voter apathy Take the recent vote on equal marriage, my local MP is down on record as saying he voted using his own ideals and opinions rather than that of his constituency, the views were different. He was elected by the people but is not representative, I certainly won't be voting for him next time now that his integrity is fucked. How many others did the same thing? How often is this standpoint echoed across other votes in the commons?
Whilst billions were squandered propping up the banks, labour managed to create the most complex welfare system ever devised that just didn't work. Tax credits fiasco anyone, if I remember correctly it overpaid by well over a billion? Yes it is nice that folk should get the basics to live on but to give them a better standard of living than some of those paying tax is just outrageous. As for the 'poor people going on holidays', yes that does happen. We had to move a Court case because the defendant couldn't turn up as it was their annual pilgrimage to Florida. They had a couple of grand in outstanding fines and were on benefits. Then there is the shoplifter who can't afford food but is a benefit claimant on a 30 a day habit. These aren't isolated cases they are fairly representative across the whole country. Politics, I would rather get a blowjob from a rabid bull terrier.
