The post you are reporting:
Taxpayer funding for this may well be "inherently wrong", but taxpayer funding for Political Partys less so, it would appear.
However, the greatest wrong committed throughout politics in the UK is committed by the electorate;each and every one, and that is the thinking that Politics is about Politicians...it is most definitely not so.
Politics is ALL about the electorate;each and every one.
So what, that in this particular case, £5,000 is but on loan/deposit from the big partys, but lost as payment to the public-fund by the lesser partys and independents. It is only so because 'we-the-people' so willingly play the big-party game.
Why not have each of the candidates for this (thoroughly useless) post create their own thread here? And have them post their Manifesto here?
Then, as this forum is so widely read across Kent, could 'our' readership not then declare their support for whichever candidate in their own front window?
Politicians are NOT the problem, Politicians are NOT the issue. The ELECTORATE are what matters. What are we, each and all, afraid of?
