Another reason not to vote.

[InsaneApache]

Once again, it looks like you're going to have to rely on the Lords to toss this bill right back.

The real trouble is that politicians know they can get away with this because nobody really cares. Unless the news was tattooed across the assets of the Page 3 girl, most voters will skip right past this to the FA Cup report.

Strange isn't it that 'career' politicians are reforming this quaint establishment. Still. as they say, if you've got nothing to hide, what are you afeared of?

I notice Gordon 'gottapickapocketortwo' Brown did his Macavity act and kept his head down, just a day after promising to restore openness and acountability to government. A worthy successor to Blair.

Well, well, well, the plot thickens.

The Conservative MP behind moves to exempt MPs from freedom of information legislation bought a £3,300 quad bike on parliamentary expenses.

Obviously a coincidence, I'm just surprised he couldn't find a train that ran on gravy.

EDIT: for new link.

Voting? What's that?

Yet another reason to reform Westminster and get a damned constitution (proper one!)

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I say revoke the parliament act and every law since WWII.

It's just been down hill for the last 60 years really. Although you can't blame the politicians alone. How can you be enthusiastic about a country which once ruled over a quater of the globe whos' wealth and military might made it feared and respected the world over but which can now no longer even manage to define it's own culture.

Britain is dieing and I can't really blame those who want to make some money before we slide down the plug hole.

The problem I have is working out how to stop us sliding down that dank drain pipe known as oblivion.

Surely the problem is partially attributed to voter apathy and essentially getting what you pay for as a buyer. If the public don't care and don't participate then they get what they deserve. The mob is just interested in bread curry and circuses football.

The problem will be exacerbated by not voting and/or having uninformed voters voting for more infotainment.

curry

Sushi.

And you're quite right, by the way. It's another reason to vote, not to not to vote and end up inconsequential.

It's time for a revolution, a real, violent, bloody revolution, in more country than one.
