Political parties disconnect to the electorate

If almost anyone can stand how can the system be so called rigged? 

 

The problem here surely is us voters.

 

Let's get real about what the elections are about....

If you don't like the party in active government then you vote for a different one.

If you don't like any of the party affiliated candidates then you vote for an independent one.

If you don't like any of the candidates at all then you need to nominate someone who you feel will represent you best to stand or man up and be prepared have a go at standing yourself. 

Without people engaging in these simple steps how else are things supposed to change.

I see lots of talk on here about so-called "real people" should be sitting in government but the bigger question that needs answering is ..do these real people actually want it...

The problem is the voters and the voting process. First past the post kills off the small parties.

People prefer to vote for a party that gives them good news, not one that tells them the truth.

I believe that this country has too much debt, but would people vote for more cuts or tax rises?

The same thing will happen to anyone who tries to change what is a rotton and corrupt system to benefit the majority of ordinary people. 

 

People think putting a tick in a box once every 5 years equalls democracy. It doesn't.

It isn't the politicians who rule, it's the lobbyists, the doners, the people with more money than entire countries, the vested interests, the unelected advisors and think tanks, the deals done at places like bilderberg, and in the gentleman's clubs and back rooms.

 

The electorate comes way down the list of priorities.

Whoever you vote for, government wins.

Too right, Mel...and simple form of words for many who "opt out", but it isn't an elected Govt, this is the thing.

 

The winning party in parliament, forms a Government  of 20-40 people ish, not (just from) MPs, but from Lards, Advisors, Bankers, business, commerce, hanger's on, etc...and they are then the ones, making some of the most Crucial decisions.!! UNelected.

 

So maybe the "opt out"/writing on the wall should be,  Whoever you vote for, PEOPLE LOSE. ?

It's even worse, the MPs don't know what they want, never mind what we want.
