But I do think that there is currently an astonishing groundswell of public distrust and anger at the main parties. Therefore a suggestion that the big three are cozily divvying up the spoils between them and deliberately excluding opposition could have traction.<br /><br />As for democracy and everyone being heard, yes that too :-)<br /><br />Woodsy42Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509959543151548263.post-44558993436796133682010-03-02T23:53:55.959+00:002010-03-02T23:53:55.959+00:00Ah A, and will UKIP and the 'minor' partie...Ah A, and will UKIP and the 'minor' parties 'pick-up' on this?

Many voters have a sense of fairness and I think this may be a miscalculation by the lib/lab/con. Doesn't it in fact gift the smaller parties, and especially Ukip, with sympathy over unfair and dishonest treatment. And couldn't a campaign issue highlighting the cozy sameness, collusion, and arrogance of the three main parties be exactly the sort of issue that Ukip and others need to get people voting outside the big three parties?<br />Just a thought.<br /><br />Woodsy42Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
