There's special pleading from the Muslim Police Association to go with that from Harriet Harperson on behalf of the wimmin.

The last major attempt at this sort of thing was the Blair's babes intake at Westminster who were mostly a failure and not up to the job.

What we need is something like term limits combined with a more representative voting system, not actors to look like us and to fool us into thinking where represented.

I recently wrote to my MP and all my MEPs expressing my concern about the creeping Islamisation of Britain and the effects of mass immigration on our culture, society and identity. With one exception, all were dismissive, one was rude, and the rest didn't reply. If I don't want my society to embark on a suicide mission from which it cannot turn back, to whom do I turn?

Just take the time to read, very carefully, and with an open mind, the contents of http://www.angelfire.com/realm3/accord .
It was written about 12 years ago and has had one or two slight updates since. Nothing has improved since it was written and much of what was predicted has started to occur.

Describes New Labour to a 'T'!

You should reproduce that rude response on this and other blogs so we know who the person is and the degree of their complacency. There are apparently plans afoot for a website which will name the traitors along with examples of their treachery. Can't wait!

MP's are accountable to their parties for selection (and the threat of deselection). So it is hardly surprising that they are loyal to the party machine and not the voters. Until this changes, the situation will remain as it is. This will not change as the party whips find it jolly convenient.

We are not a democracy, but as William Hague observed, an elective dictatorship, and the pantomime of Westminster cannot hide this fact any more.

I thought we had a sufficiency of jobsworths in the House of Commons (can they get any commoner) and the House of Lords seem to be getting more than their share too (with sincere apologies to those excellent Peers who are worth their places). I want an MP who stands up for our Country and its people, not an EU toady.

Derek Buxton

you express my views perfectly.

Its typical of our ruling elite to fret about the fact that the commons is not represent our ethnic mix, but is utterly indifferent to the fact that they dont represent our views or best interests of the people they so sanctmonisly claim to represent

Most white middle class english daily mail readers would far rather be represented by an honest proverbial black lesbian who actually represents the views and best interests of their consituents and claims expenses that are actually incurred in the course of their duties rahter than a Derek Conway that might look like them but demands social security fraudsters are imprisoned whilst being personally a much bigger thieving parasite than any of the people he rails against and would never dream of voting against the Iraq war-would harm his caree

Ethnic minorities in point of fact view this in exactly the same way. theyd much rather be represrnted by a white public school boy who is honest and actually listens to them than a thieving a party hack who happens to have the same skin color as them.

this was proved by bethnal green at the last election they had a choice between --ona king Black female who paid not a blind bit of notice to the passionate views of all the people she so loudly claimed to represent on the Iraq war , and George Galloway middle aged white man whose views actually represented those of the people he aspired to represent

oddly enough they opted to elect someone actually likely to represent them

a point toaly lost on our elite

I've long been convinced that the underlying problem is the fact that the executive and the legislature are one and the same thing. Professional politicians think more of their own advancement up the party and government ranks than they do about representing their electors and scrutinising government actions. This blurring of roles confuses both the politicians and the public.

My preferred solution would be a version of the US system. There'd be a directly elected PM who would choose his cabinet from outside the ranks of parliament. Parliamentarians would then be required to approve all expenditure and be able to hold ministers to account.

Yes, this would introduce conflict, but in a healthy way. The executive would need to win the approval of the legislature and the legislators would have a single responsibility: to the people who elected them.

read the guardian article whats so funny is they never ask why they are seen as a narrow self serving elite

its not the fact that they all voted for the Iraq war. That gave them a choice between doing what was right listening to those that elected them and doing what was good for their careers. Most chose their careers

Its not that their expenses are an open fraud they are on the take and enriching themsselves at the expense of tax payers the vast majority of whom are far poorer than they are

its not that many are scottish and thus represent no one whatsover in england

its not that they have passed laws enabling councils to criminalise people for leaving their bins open with utter disregard for 1/ the duty of government to take the rubbish away 2/ what normal people think of as criminal

its not that they have shown contempt for centuries old freedoms and rights and hav sought to turn us into a totalitrian society

apparently its cos they dont have the same ethnic/gender mix as the rest of us

I believe that most white middle class daily mail reading english people would far rather be represented by the proverbial Black lesbian who is honest and actually does her job of representing their views and interests than a derek conway who might look them but is a parasite in pin stripes

ethnic mnorities are just the same. in bethnal green they chose galloway--white middle aged male that actually represnted their opinons and interest over oona King black female who voted for the Iraq war against the passionate opposition of practically all her consituents and who did so for the sake of her career a point 100% lost on harman

as for black/women shortlists the shortlisted candidates will all be party hacks who will be even less likely to pay a blind but of notice to those they represent, be more corrupt authoritarian and less likely to have had a real job and thus be any good at anything

However as a believer that our system of government is utterly rotten and corrupt I am reassured by such articles. We need some kind of revolution in government. Essentially the more rotten the elite the more radical the change when in a decade or two it does come. It is clear from the guardian article that our rulers havent the first clue about why they are loathed or the first intention of changing it. It never occurs to this woman that Mps should actually listen to their constituents. People like harriden harperson show the majority of the population who are indifferent to politics why we desperately need reform of our political system though they may argue against it with every word they say

Personally I'm hoping the Generals will kick the door in.
