The electorate must have some politicians who they can trust. In the long run it is no use not voting or giving a protest vote to the BNP or Greens or UKIP if you don't agee with their long term aims.
We have only the main steam parties who can get Britain out of the mess we are in.
Gordon Brown and Labour has created an atmosphere in British politics where every politician is a crook. I don't believe this to be true, there are some good MPs in all three main parties who do good work for their constituents. The criticism of these is that not one of the Labour backbenchers have had the guts to speak out until recently.
In my mind Labour has created the economic mess and can not be trusted.
Nick Clegg speaks some sense - but the Lib/Dems want greater integration with Europe.
The Conservatives, in my working life have been the only party to pull Britain through bad times which were created by previous Labour government's policies. David Cameron must be given a chance, Britain must have a fresh start.
A line has to be drawn under this sorry expenses fiasco and a start made by all MP's to owst Gordon Brown and his mate the Speaker and get Britain moving again.
The voters of Britain must be much more vigilant in the future and hold political parties and Governments to account - and that can only happen if the electorate use their vote wisely and vote in greater numbers than has been the case in recent elections. This applies to Local elections as well as General Elections.
To have a vote is a privilege - make good use if it.
