Abraham Lincoln is credited with this statement: "You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time."

Unfortunately the three main political parties do not believe this to be true - why else would they continue with their 'charade' of policy statements that bear no resonance with what the public are thinking - nay demanding?

Witness:

Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrats are campaigning on continued membership of the European Union whilst, at the same time, denying any loss of sovereignty. Have they lost the ability to read? One has but to read this  - linked to by Calling England - in which it is stated that "The transfer by the States from their domestic legal system to the Community legal system of the rights and obligations arising under the Treaty carries with it a permanent limitation of their sovereign rights"  to realise that a loss of sovereignty is unavoidable and undeniable!

The Liberal Democrat Party - a joke, when considering the definition of the word 'party' - informs us that: "Britain must be a world leader in offshore wind, but unless action is taken immediately we will lose out", which after all just parodies the policies of Conservative and Labour. Why? Because, under the Single European Act, all environmental decisions were ceded to the European Union, hence presently, as a result of our membership of the EU, any policy our political parties wish to implement must comply with that of the EU. The statements by the Liberal Democrats - and those of Labour and Conservative - are disengenious to say the least. Policies, such as these on wind farms, are presented to the electorate as 'initiatives/policies' when they are no more than requirements that they are duty bound to implement.

Let us consider the subject of immigration. All three main political parties talk about 'balanced immigration'; 'border controls' etc. Yet not one will admit that this only applies to people belonging to nations outside the European Union. WTF is the point of presenting a policy of 'controlled immigration' to the British electorate when, in fact, every person in the EU could come to Britain and Britain would have to take care of them - health, education and 'keep them safe' - no questions asked! Unlikely you say - just wait until the latest countries, who are virtually queuing up to join, do join - and where are their inhabitants going to make their 'Mecca'? Britain! Human nature being what it is, people are not stupid - whatever their nationality - and recognise a good opportunity when they see it!

When the governance of Britain is discussed/considered, what the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats are doing to the electorate of Britain is no more than lying to them! All those parties - who consider themselves the only ones able to 'govern' Britain; who denigrate what they term the 'minor' parties - are themselves being disingenious, to say the least. Sitting MPs wish to get re-elected in the hope they may get ministerial positions and thus increase their income - candidates wish to get elected purely to join what is a 'gravy train'!

Democracy in this country - a country that is credited with having 'invented' democracy - stinks!
