I'm asking the whole of the UK Taxi community if there is anyone of you, who would be willing to defend either/or: Westminster, The current coalition, the Alternatives as far as, Tory majority, Labour Majority, Labour/Lib Dem coalition, UKIP or even a UKIP/Tory coalition.

I'm looking for which is best to run Westminster and why you think so? I'm also seeking the good you think is being or could be done by your prefered choice of government!

This is solely about Westminster!

I say Westminster is an unfixable mess, it's broken, it doesn't act in the best interests of the electorate, so I'm looking to be proved wrong!

Thanks :D

I thought the Scottish people had 100% control over this matter come September.

What I don't think you have grasped is deep down we don't give a f*** either way.

Whatever way you vote, good luck to you. But whatever way you choose will not affect the likes of me one iota.

All politicians start off with the best interests of the electorate at heart. They soon change to having their own best interests at heart. The sooner you see this the better. Nothing will change for you as an individual either way.

Curiosity, The Vision and the Unknown!

Business plan over business model!

My point, it's only human nature to seize change when opportunity knocks, in politics and where controlling governments are concerned, well that opportunity very seldom comes along :wink:

How about we do what the rich want? Blame the immigrants, the poor and the disabled.
