I would say most of them, but not quite all of them. There are still a few (very few) in all the parties who do what they do because they believe in it.

Fair point

I have done work for Alan Johnson a few times over the years and if i'm honest, he is one of the most genuine blokes i've ever met ............... shame he talks 'dangle berries' when it comes to politics

Whoever gets in they will have promised everything and they'll give you nothing,then vote themselves another pay rise to make up for their expenses shortfall.The Tories get in they'll blame Labour still for the mess we're still in.labour get in they'll blame the Tories for leaving such a mess behind!I've only named the two parties as let's face it it's either of those or another coalition,don't see any other party forming a stand alone government.

right, i better stop here now, i had my rant and i only get angry .
i leave it now and not think anymore of it.
whoever comes on power is only up for his friends anyway.

FFS 13 years of Labour damn near bankrupted the place fixing that takes time...

As for jobs for mates... 'dangle berries'... the reason that they all think the same is that they were educated in a handfull of places for the most part...

Eton and Harrow etc have been, successfully, producing industrial and political leaders for centuries, and as long as that continues, the same sorts of people will remain in charge

If you really don't like it, can string a coherent sentence together and can rustle up the application fee, the quit bitching, grow a pair and run for your local constituency as an independent candidate. Give the disillusioned something to vote for instead of UKIP.

If you don't have the balls, sit down and shut up!

A message just flashed on top of my screen which said something about playing nicely as no-one wants keyboard warriors.
Im guessing it doesn't come up on your screen ?

I am playing nicely 

Moaning is a British condition... how ever shitty your world is, you ALWAYS have a choice... somethings you can't physically change, losing a limb for example, but even then you can change your outlook.

Politics is one area where individuals can genuinely make a difference. But only if you step up. All I am saying is that if you aren't prepared to step up, then don't come moaning to me if you don't like the outcome

Private healthcare is great idea provided you are young fit and healthy.....and oh yes....wealthy.

When you are old and f*cked it doesn't hold the same appeal.

Pet insurance is a prime example. If you own a fit young hound they will welcome you with open arms. Even then there will be an excess that makes your eyes water should you need to claim.

Then try insuring your shagged out fourteen year mongrel with a long list  of ailments.

The NHS for all it's faults does a pretty good job in my view.

.. all the time your insurers can take your premiums and not have to pay out a penny, oddly enough.

Then you get a condition, and they start debating which eye they'll save the sight in, because they won't pay out to save both and so on. Arguing the toss with insurers over material things that don't really matter that much is bad enough...

... or, as in my case, one of your hobbies is something quite safe that their aviation "expert" knows the square root of naff all about, so they won't even contemplate covering you.

Caroline Lucas seems easy on the eye.

Caroline Lucas seems easy on the eye.

I'd have to remove her to a place where the council actually empty the bins first.
