  Our democracy is desperately sick.There is a very steep decline in respect for MP`s
  
  and government.The poll organisations report;..35% believe nothing is worth
  
  praise,53% are critical of the quality of our politicians,62% think politicians tell lies all
  
  the time.
  
  President of U GOV says there is evidence of massive disenchantment that goes far beyond the
  
  dislike of politicians,political parties and policies.The Brits do not get fussed about
  
  things but the danger is if panic sets in the face of sudden threat which could apply
  
  now.
  
  If the government of the day losses authority,tax dodging is a national sport,ministers
  
  are incompetent and loss of trust in the countries political institutions.
  
  The public is increasingly disengaged from national politics.
  
  The explanation of growing disillusion in our political system is two fold incompetence
  
  and trust betrayed.
  
  Examples are botched reorganisation of the NHS,the budget that penalised pensioners
  
  and charities,the petrol crisis that wasn`t,half baked policies that have to be changed
  
  but worse than that an economic policy that allows no hope for the future and
  
  forecasts that unemployment will keep rising for five years.
