Electing [b]ONLY[/b] those who have had [b]REAL[/b] lives !
You know...marriage; kids; debts; jobs; occasional difficulty making the rent; elderly family to care for; trouble getting a doctors appointment; etc.

@Picklebobble2 The real world!

@Nimbus This weekend i've heard nothing on the news other than well educated wealthy European heads of state say how 'unacceptable' we are.
And the responses from those in power HERE illustrate clearly that those who seek to govern us haven't the first clue what they're doing.
These people live in a different world.

@Picklebobble2 Has it really ever been different?

@Nimbus Well. We survived the creation of the NHS when the wealthy among us told us it would bankrupt the country.
We've survived NOT being involved in the Common Market once before.
We survived the great depression; two world wars; losing the Empire; the rantings of Lord Haw-Haw; Enoch Powell and Margaret Thatcher. Any ONE of which made 'enemies' of people/countries that still probably don't entirely trust us.
Banks; borders and stock markets are ALL getting itchy and twitchy !

You just fear for your kids. Know what i mean ?
