[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 2212896, member: 2119"] That's right. I think we lost a lot when "anybody" could become an MP and "anybody" could vote. At one time, MP's, councillors etc were often professional men or women of business and life experience who were actually capable of cutting through the flannel and making the decisions themselves. Now we just have figureheads and faces and people appointed by the party who, having no real knowledge of their own, are dangerously reliant on "advice". For an example just look at the difference between Owen Paterson and Liz Truss. Liz Truss will never be able to do the job as well as Owen Paterson because she doesn't have any experience of running a business or understanding of farming. Having said this, I still think the lesser evil is Westminster governing without EU interference. More accountable and democratic. [/QUOTE]
