If you really think that the people in a given country have any sway where the 'elected' leaders are concerned your really do need to wake up. Here in the UK I don't know anybody who voted phony Tony and his cronies into power. I didn't but I did make use of my vote. Because there were no candidates that I could even begin to give my vote to - I take it very seriously by the way - I put a line through my ballot paper and wrote 'please give me a proper choice of candidate'. That paper has to be counted and noted. As for me doing something about it... what? It's incredibly difficult to form a new political party here in the UK. Oh, unless you have a very large pot of money to carry you along for a few years. Not many people have that which is where the bug businesses come in. The main political parties get massive cash donations all the time so that they are 'friendly' to business. So please, do not blame the people of either the US or the UK. It most certainly is not us. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Take care.
