We get the politicians we vote for. We can only vote for those who put themselves forward. At least we get those that 30/35% of the voting public vote for. When we don't rate their performance we change our vote. Really what else is there to say? We have to give them the chance to get things right. Part of our problem, perhaps its an advantage, is that we split 50/50 between Labour and Conservative and have a tendency to alternate though not so frequently in recent decades. In the current lot we voted for the Coalition in order to avoid any extreme measures from either of the two main parties. The Lib-Dems chose to go with the Conservatives and all that has been done by this Govt. has been moderated by the Lib-Dems.
