Cut the Clique rather than Services

Obviously this article is one-sided:

However, it does have me asking the question: How in-touch are politicians?

I don't believe we can expect our politicians to make the correct decisions for all sections of the population when they tend to be sourced from just one demographic: Rich, middle to upper class, university educated etc.

What makes me feel even more disappointed is the fact that it looks likely we will vote in a government that thinks that the best course of action in a recession is to cut spending: "Cameron goes into his pre-election conference as the only leader of a mainstream party in the western world who has called for spending cuts during the recession".

Labour does not have all the answers; but then neither do the Conservatives.
