How about this. Many of you may be in business and as such its important to have the right man for the job. Dedication, experience and skills. Not just your mate.... Cos you like him. Thats is exactly what party politics demands. I can not find a poitician with the skills for the job can you? Lets take some exmples at random Alan Johnson secretary of state for health - postman and union member head
James purnell – secretary of state for work and pensions was a Corporate planner for bbc Alistair darling chancellor of the exchequer – local council and a solicitor
Des Browne has been Secretary of State for Defence since 2006. and he is a solicitor too. Not withstanding the fact that they are able to change jobs and skills on a whim.
Lets take Des Browne? He is very adaptable Chief Secretary to the Treasury. Minister of State for Citizenship and Immigration at the Home Offiice. Minister of State for Work at the Department for Work and Pensions Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at The Northern Ireland Office. Mr Browne also tabled the Register of Drug Trafficking Offenders Bill, a private Member's Bill to amend the Misuse of Drugs Act and establish a register of trafficking offenders. So here's the suggestion using a business model. Lets put the governance and system in place and fill it with skilled individuals. Maybe people will vote for me as a skilled economist for a role in government, A strong military background perhaps. Your government knows nothing about you or your life and they certainly know little about their specialist subject or job role. What they do know about is being politicians but that doesn't help us one bit. That's why they constantly meddle and bring in illogical and lunatic policies like the ones we discuss often her and on our blog. Voting in this system is a complete waste of time because there is not a system for real democracy.
comment here is free so if anyone can find a political leader who has any experience whatsoever and i am sure there are some please post here.

Ms Blears fears
As our message slowly filters through you are celebrating another massive landslide in the local elections last week.
In a speech to the Social Market Foundation Ms Blears said the current system was not working - as evidenced in falling voter turnout at elections and the lowest turnouts in the most deprived areas. She added that the rows over MPs' expenses had been damaging and there was a sense "that politics is a tainted activity, something disreputable at best, corrupt at worst" as well as an "overwhelming sense of powerlessness" felt by voters.
Thanks to Ms Bears for her comments but we are nonetheless not powerless as the last local elections showed.
A massive 70% of the electorate decided to abstain from the system ms Blears called "disreputable at best and corrupt at worst" ever the optimist lets just say corrupt at best.
Lets not dwell however on that but on how we intend to utilise the general publics lack of interest in party politics.
Our numbers are growing all the time and our campaign will increase as we head towards the general election. We will continue to take the message forward that your vote does not count and increase our majority even further. Political parties were left to share the scraps and claim power when in fact they are left to split an embarressing 30% of the vote between them.
Ms Blears is doing the maths so why don't we?
Those who chose to vote probably had a realistic choice of one maybe two candidates at best. when it comes to the general election it will be the same. If they happen to be part of a major party as most will then they will follow the party line in most cases. some may even get jobs in the cabinet running massive parts of the countries assets without a single piece of working knowledge of that particular area. They will be advised and lobbied by paid advisers with vested interests from private industries. The real working knowledge of the department will be many levels below the prime ministers lackey who is put in charge because he is his mate. Add to this utter incompetence a level of self regulation that is laughable and it soon becomes apparent that withholding your vote is the only sensible option.
