The Political Classes

I sometimes wonder about Members of Parliament...they definitely live in a world of their own. It's not enough that 300 plus of them have made dodgy claims on expenses, within the rules or not, now when they have had an independent review they are about to chuck their toys out of the pram again.

What really annoys is that they have shown scant regard to the thousands of party activists (of all parties) who pound the streets, knocking on doors and delivering leaflets week in week out for them and the party and all they can do is kick us in the groin (metaphorically) whilst they sit in their ivory towers.

Here in Borehamwood North we have a bye-election on Thursday the 22nd October and it will be hard enough to get people out to vote without the tantrums of an overgrown bunch of schoolkids at Westminster. It will now be even harder to get the voters enthused to vote on real issues that worry people here after this latest outburst of defiance by some MP's who really should know better.

Instead of them falling allover themselves to see who can be first to defy their leadership let them come to Borehamwood and meet real people on the doorstep and find out what is really going on.

Alas I fear that too is wishful thinking, why on earth would they, the Political Classes, want to come and knock on doors? After all real people might tell them what they really think of them!
