Democracy

One of the blogs that I follow is written by 'Old Holborn' who apparently has ambitions to become an independent MP. His blog is really worth a visit even though he is aligned to 'The Ranting Penguin' school of blogging (you know lots of foul language). Personally it doesn't offend me but I don't include it here because my family read my blog and it is not necessary.

He did highlight an anomoly which shames our democracy. The Westminster Three, you know the NoLab party, The Tories and the Lib Dems, have stitched up the tax system so that only parties who can gain at least two seats in Westminster or if you have one seat then you must have at least 150,000 voters before you qualify for tax exemption.

Nice One!
