  I have to agree with PaulB. It's easy to say noble and public-spirited things when you're in opposition. If DC becomes the next PM, is he really going to make sure that power is spread more evenly among the people? Yeah right! And what on earth is a Conservative leader doing suggesting such a socialist idea in the first place? Does "reform" also mean revising the core values of the parties?
  
  One thing I would LOVE to see happen is the close scrutiny of MPs. We get constantly scrutinized and spied on in every imaginable way, but it is THEM that needs to be watched closely as has now been proven. I hope all the CCTV cameras, expense receipts, databases, and god-knows what else turn inwards onto their creators so that we have a means of keeping tabs on those cheating, thieving a****oles.
  
  Let's face it, they're all doing and saying whatever to shut us up and rebuild their own reputations. At the end of the day, when the dust settles and the burning headlines turn to cool ash, power will still be where THEY want it to be and we'll have been conned yet again into believing whatever crap they tell us in order to "resolve an issue". Their one and only agenda is now to restore public confidence - but it won't be at any cost and it won't be for real. It will be largely superficial and any big changes that do arise will only be to placate the angry mob. None of them - not one - will actually want less power so I regard this whole debate as pure folly.
