Strangely, the President doesn't have nearly so much power as people here make out, most things that affect people on a day-by-day basis are controlled at State level, and the States fight tooth and nail if central government wants to assume any of their powers. <br />When you consider that the individual States have more freedom from central government than the UK has from the EU, I find it hard to any longer call this country a democracy.English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509959543151548263.post-9243495242350560992010-11-02T23:00:42.352+00:002010-11-02T23:00:42.352+00:00Yes, but Delingpole has no credibility.

I think he is another of the Oxford mafia who inherently believes that only a certain class of slick professional person who is remotely related to royalty is fit to govern in Britain. It seems to me that he just objects to the Tories purely because of their politics, not that he recognises the decript stinking rot of the surrounding framework that sustains them and it. <br /><br />Just before the election he penned <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100032644/general-election-2010-my-mate-dave/" rel="nofollow">this</a><br /><br /><i>It’s the last anti-Cameron stuff you’re getting me before the election. (Unless of course, he does something quite egregiously stupid, in which case all promises are suspended.) Why? Because like the mighty Lord Tebbit I agree that however much we all loathe these despicable, Saul-Alinsky-loving Fabian faux-Tories, they are nonetheless our least worst option in this General Election.</i><br /><br />The least worst option to vote for in the 2010 election was the Tories?
