Re: Nigel Farage for me - for you 2?

They may not run the country but they implement the decisions of their pay-masters. The Icelanders have jailed their crooked bankers, we're about to give ours the running of the country when we leave th EU.

One thing I personally would like to see is a publication of how each individual MP votes on important motions (or even whether they bother to vote at all - or even bother to attend). MPs should be accountable to their electorate.

Your ignorance of our constitution is astounding!!!

Bills proposed in Parliament must undertake THREE stages of reading in the House of Commons and THREE stages of reading in the House of Lords. Steges two in both houses are the 'committee' stages wherein amendments are made and debated. Only after the Bill has passed all stages of reading in both houses and receives the royal assent does it become an ACT of Parliament.

As to which individual members for or against such Bills, that information IS PUBLISHED in Hansard.

Humorous banter or intentional offence?

Karma will eventually happen to the greedy elite who have taken control of governments and natural resources. The people just have to be pushed far enough to see reality and to get out of their armchairs and do something.

Indeed. However there are thousands of others willing to stand up and be counted it seems. Take a look at the "Occupy Wall Street" movement and related "Occupy" movements worldwide. Note also how the US police state treats them. There will, in the end, be a war.

That's silly Tina, he hasn't joined forces with George Galloway, they just both agree that we should leave the EU in the same way that Jeremy Corbyn and David Cameron want us to stay in. You wouldn't say Corbyn and Cameron have joined forces would you?
