I'm actually talking about Britain, not America - Tony Blair is forever talking about democracy when he doesn't seem to be running the country democratically. My main objection to the current British political system is that the only means we have of holding our politicians accountable for their actions is through voting during the general elections. These are few and far between, so, once a political party is voted in to power the politicians can pretty much do what they want, rendering our voted worthless. |
Nothing shocking here.
Obviously the wrong guy was voted for in the first place.
(Certainly sounds like you didn't vote for the current guy  )
If they were that bad, a vote of non-confidence from the opposition would come down to hopefully force an election.
Obviously the opposition either doesn't feel prepared or confident enough to win the ensuing election or they don't have a strong enough argument to pass the motion lest be strung up by the electorate for forcing them to the polls.
