Land of Hope and Glory

The UK population of today has outgrown the Westminster political system and its politicians and the sooner politicians realize it the better. Issues can no longer be solved by a new face in place of an unpopular one, PR exercises or the cloning of each other’s policies. Political institutions and politicians in the UK have failed, are untrustworthy, and have become disconnected from the UK electorate. The two main political parties have become two and a half. Coalition government is likely to be the result at the next election and the nation needs change. What about a UKIP Conservative coalition that should liven things up. What political leadership fails to understand is that if you want to unite people around a common purpose you have to listen and digest what the people think and feel. David Cameron say’s he does repeatedly, but no one believes him and there is no evidence he listens either.
