Quote:

Mr Simpson said in a letter to party members: "There are good people in the Parliamentary Labour Party but not enough of them. At times, I feel that colleagues would vote for the slaughter of the first born if asked to."

That goes for all the LibLabCon. 99% of the time when you vote for your MP, you don't get a representative, you get a yes-man who will do as they are told.

The whole system is rotten to the core and that's how we are getting into more and more of a mess.

Like you said Matt "sums it all up really" i just wish more people could see these self-serving career politicians for what they really are.

The whole system is bent. It probably always has been to a degree, but in the past you had two opposing parties, that did actually stand for diffent things, so it wasn't so bad.

Now we have an effective one party state, the old system of just lining up behind what the whips of your party tell you is no longer an option.
