Cameron is promising to extend democracy, to give power to the powerless, to bring glasnost to the UK parliament. Like all parties in opposition his can promise the earth, and treat its promises as pie-crusts when taking over government. What else is new?
Oh Jesus, NO! He wants to turn the House of Commons into the Big Brother house. He wants to fill it up with minor "celebs" and showbiz rejects in search of a cushy berth, and give us the chance to vote them out in telephone polls. It had to come.
On second thoughts, why not? We probably won't notice any difference from the previous set-up. The current batch are expensive, ineffectual, and objectionable; so really, more of the same.
