Is it possible, just possible…

That whoever we elect into power comes from exactly the same private club every time?
I mean politicians just toe the line with whoever finances their election campaigns - these could be the same people irrespective of the political party, so it’s a win win for them.

I mean, is democracy really democracy? Who makes the rules then? We’ve got an entire Parliamentary House in the UK (The House of Lords) which is 100% unelected. It seems that their political persuasions go out of the window once they’ve got their feet under that table, with a whole load of other Lords coming from business and wealth. Sometimes I genuinely wonder if it really matters who I vote for.

@Oneofthestormboys Liberals do not (a) really know what the term DEMOCRACY means and (b) do not really trust the democratic process.

When they suggest that Democracy is threatened, that usually means they are about to not get their way. Why else would those Nazis always turn to the courts when they don't get their NATIONAL SOCIALISM through Congress?
