| Having just come back this morning from Poland, with a trip to Auswitz-Birkinau squeezed in, I could never bring myself to vote BNP; but the protest voters who are voting BNP (in the fairly certain knowledge that they are unlikely to get in in any kind of majority) are giving the 'normal' political parties a wake up call.
Its only a dream, but what Id like to see is politics, is:
1-A ban on the party system so that people vote for their local representative not a distant figure head in a party.
2-A ban on the party whip so your local MP can actually vote as he/she believes and not as the party wants them.
3-Proportional representation so you dont get a situation where a sitting government has manipulated the geography of the wards, received less than 50% of the votes, yet still got elected (as lbour did the last 2 elections).
4-Party political broadcasts being removed from the current exemption from the adverstising standards laws so we can prosecute them when they misrepresent the facts.
5-Gordon Brown deported for ruining all our pensions in 1997.
