‘Use your vote wisely’

Sir,– So we are going to be asked to vote in a general election.

How many votes will it take this time for a candidate to be declared the winner?

If the result does not suit the big four parties will they want a rerun?

We will be asked to vote for two parties who have led the decline in our democracy?

One led by a man who is alleged to have supported the IRA.

Then there is the other party who looks after its own, who believes like the other in the class system and tax breaks for the well-heeled and tax loopholes.

Only today it was announced that a Labour

MP will give up his seat to take a seat in the Lords.

The Lords, it seems, is a reward from the establishment to the traitors of the working people who lied when they stood as socialist MPS for years.

Is there any real socialist in the Labour Party who would refuse this nice little earner, a title?

It is time we were asked in a referendum: “Do we need a House of Lords?”

Do we need the people to elect a political head of state who would form a government?

Do we need a democracy where the people’s votes count?

Do we need a democracy where no new laws can be passed before the people have a vote on it?

Will our new government, whoever they are, listen to the people or will it be more of the same university clones calling all the shots and lying to us and not for the first time?

Use your three seconds of political power wisely. John G Phimister.
