Ah!! There's 'forward thinking' for us all!!
I really do believe it!! --- It comes from 'Talking' To people, to understand just How?? They feel totally let down Lost their Interest in what goes on and Truelly Believe, The politicians Don't Listen --- So just where do we all go from There ?

T'is but a very poor state that we are all in??
 There is No Common sense or Logic these days it's ALL Gone and got Lost?

Mac,   S'right it is!!  The Politician - His/Her Salary - His/Her - PENSION! ---- Sure are a very Lucky lot --What!!

Ah, for a moment there Michael, I thought you had forgot to mention Mrs T.

HOW ABOUT A   'PEOPLE'S PARTY???  NO POLITICS??
 THERE MUST BE LOTS OF 'SENIOR CITIZENS' OUT THERE, CAPABLE OF RUNNING GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, WITHOUT CREATING THE USUAL FAULTS?? -- STILL NEED A TRUSTFUL LEADER THOUGH 

She still exists in this Government, or had'nt you noticed ?
