POLITICS

Along with reading the Blogs and White Papers on this subject it is important that I declare my political views and any allegiances I have, which is easy.

I have none at all, and will not have.  To be aligned with any political party is to remove my independence in this and other matters, and for me it is crucial I can speak as I find and say what I want without being called to order. I am answerable to nobody.

As a matter of fact I have not voted in the last at least 20 years as that long ago I had come to realise our political system was not just undemocratic but also ineffective.  Why vote for something you don’t believe in?

So the Parties will get equal attention from me though some may have policies I feel more strongly about than others which would mean there will be more written about them.  Otherwise I will explain why I feel some policies are bad and some good – assuming there are some good ones.
