I will and if this government OFT are no longer interested
who is able to take it on?

I am interested in what all political parties stand for.

But I am not impressed with Liberal Democrats - they are too woolly.

[Papaumau]

In the past the Liberal Democrats - being a "Liberal" ( as the name suggests ), kind of political party have had the indictment of being a bit soft in certain lines they take.

Nowadays and because the New-Labourites have lurched so far to the right they are starting to look like the only party that gives a damn about the ordinary man-in-the-street.

I am sure that they will hammer that point into us in the weeks approaching the general election and if they don't I think they will have missed a trick.

All political dogma evolves to suit the prevailing conditions and I am sure that the Liberal Democrat dogma will do exactly the same as the rest in order to get back the political power they once had in Britain.

It really is the fault of the 'man in the street'.

We have no reason not to communicate or look into the
background of our elected representatives.

In previous times this was not commonly possible - but it is now.

I would agree that new labour do not give a dam about the 'man in the street'

I expect they and their Labour Councils would refer this to as 'person in the street'

I am still a floating Voter - I just know I would not be voting Labour for
a million ponds (perhaps I could be bribed thinking about it...).

While I understand what you say about the previous Liberal Democrats I don't think we can now tar them with any kind of a historical brush. They have a whole new way of thinking nowadays and I think that it is now time for that "third way" in British politics.

The Tories and the ersatz-Tories, ( The New Labourites ), have had their chances over the past twenty odd years and they have failed miserable to make the lives of the ordinary British people any better.

As New-Labour have DEFINITELY lost their way and the Tories are still the same bunch of selfish and class-ridden elitists that they have always been I think that anyone who gives them any more chances to rip us off is a bigger fool than the story-book Simple Simon might have been.
