MoreUnited

[Harrowby Hall]

It is always about power and that kind of response is dangerous to say the least in a democratic society. If you can't see why you should not be taking part.

And what is wrong with the electorate having power, rather than a self-appointed, unrepresentative, secretive, political clique?

The problem I see is that their aim is "about making political parties behave in the interests of the electorate rather than the political elite" and they are intending to achieve this through crowd funding, which all sounds very laudable. However, because of our FPP voting system, that could only work with the co-operation  of the major parties who would probably be reluctant to change their ways and you would just end-up with all the candidates sounding quite radical while nothing would actually change.

That's possible LA.  However, on balance, I think it is worth giving it a whirl, if it doesn't work it will cease to be.

It could work is all other sources of funding for political parties was banned, but I can't see that happening any time soon.

Yes, but we rejected that in 2011.

So that means that it can never be revisited?

I suppose you can never-say-never, but I don't think it will happen in my lifetime.

I suppose the honesty bit and the way of twisting that power.

Well if the secretive political clique exists you think this will get past them?

Not sure if just naive or being unrealistic on your part when it comes to men in power and their toys and dealings.
