NEVER mind trimming around the edges with AV referendums, a completely new form of politics and government is needed.
There are too many ministers, MPs and House of Lords incumbents, especially.
Too many incompetents are promoted to positions out of their depths, with such as ex-sheet metal workers in high ministerial positions. All this was clearly shown under New Labour.
Party hacks and spin doctors make sure their party comes first, the gravy train second and the country last.
The public purse loses £20 billion a year through fraud and embezzlement. Whitehall squanders millions in unearned and undeserved perks and bonuses.
Valuable time and energy is wasted with politicians bickering among themselves.
