Oh no, of course not. I was just trying to say that it cuts across all parties.

Do I think it fair that these landed millionaires make the decisions? Given that they're all the same, there's not much to choose from. You are entitled to vote for whichever one of them you find least displeasing. Until there is a box that says "none of the above", the only other option is spoiling the ballot paper or staying away from the polls. Unless you're proposing revolution, Roz, they've been democratically elected (by and large) under the current legal system.

Of course, you could always stand yourself, Roz. Ah yes, family to feed and the lower stages of politics e.g. local councillor are not well remunerated. Hence the tendency for politicians to be loaded? You have to be financially independent to get going. And then the result is you get politicians who have no idea what life is like on a council estate. QED.
