Retrogression
Think of all the things that went bad some time ago and are now even worse. Global warming, drug crime, the health service, public transport, unemployment and all the rest of it.

Why do things have to go from bad to worse before they get better? And what is it with politics and politicians, do they deliberately let things get out of hand, simply to have a cause to espouse?

| 22-2-2008 | I would like British military forces to be withdrawn from Iraq immediately.
The premise of weapons of mass destruction on which they were sent was at best fabrication, at worst a lie.
Their presence along with US forces has resulted, both directly and indirectly, in the deaths of hundreds of thous...more | Deliverance |
| 04-8-2007 | Politicians are as subject to what the law says about anything as anyone. To change the way something is done usually requires a change in the law.This is the awkward bit. Trouble is when they change a law they usually make a right pigs ear of it. Changing the law also means they have to "come ...more | Chris |
| 24-7-2007 | My Gripe is the Government (what ever the party). They have fought against Communism for years but they are more communist than the communists. We aren't allowed to live our lives without them dictating. We can't drink, smoke or eat certain foods. We are all going to die whether we do all th...more | jennifer |
| 07-6-2007 | Political smear campaigns. Seems politicians are so devoid of positive things to brag about with their own careers, they have to focus on smearing the other candidates. Last I remember it was, "... one Nation under God, indivisible ..." Why, then, do we have democrats and republicans &q...more | Anon |
| 07-6-2007 | Ask a politician is that black or white and you may get a YES or NO ? ask if we went to war over weapons of mass destruction ? and he or she will write a book. Is it to much to ask for a straight YES OR NO , after all we voted for them to give us the truth about our decisions in this DEMOCRACY. Wh...more | Eddie |
| 12-9-2006 | All politicians are crooks. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Most politicians have never lifted a spade in their life. Thet would not know how to dig their own grave, when the time comes. Nonetheless, they are satisfied they never ever had to work hard.
Graft is the name of ...more | Shafted one |
| 02-9-2006 | GrimReaper It's our political system that allows us to make comments like we do on here without getting thrown in jail. Try the same sort of thing as this in China,North Korea,and other parts of the world and you would be treated as a criminal just for dissenting.
At least we have the right to ...more | Bob |

If they had been crushed by Voters , Fine... but they were not, they were crushed by the other parties... thus making a mockery of our political system. | GrimReaper |
| 02-9-2006 | Grim, was it not a good thing the BNP and Kilroy-Silk were crushed last time around? Whatever your leanings, you must acknowledge that without 'open democratic free society' they wouldn't have been allowed to stand for election in the first place. It seems the support just wasn't the...more | Attila the Mum |
| 01-9-2006 | I agree, the world is slipping into decline, and as for "BOB", you cannot change fixed elections, or change much when all the parties are alike.
Its ok saying put yourself forward to make the changes, but 1 voice is very quiet, those in control know this and when a party does get big en...more | GrimReaper |
| 31-8-2006 | If you don't like it , change it.Politicians and their parties are voted in(and out) by us.They are open to persuasion especially around election times and you can even stand for parliament yourself if so inclined. | Bob |
