Surely the time has come to move on, if we continue to support the main parties out of fear that has to be wrong. Trust in politicians has never been so low and its high time they realised and put themselves up to serve the public not to fiddle their expences or embark on overseas wars. The conservatives haved moved too far left which has resulted in the arrival of UKIP, the Laboour party has moved too far right letting the likes of the SNP with it's myriad of socialist partners hidden up it's kilt move in and make governing almost impossible. The Lib Dems are being punished by the electorate for propping up the tories for the last five years, everyone forgetting the miserable economic state we were in. So politics here is in a real mess. 

No party has put forward a manifesto which is clearly costed, All claim to want to help hard working British families yet much of our budget is spent in a way that encourages the opposite. 

The fundamental problem remains one of living beyond our means, We have massive debt promise the world, expect to be looked after regardless and rely almost entirely on population growth to obtain economic growth and personal debt to keep the tills ringing.

The pressure on our towns and cities is huge, our coutryside is being destroyed by more and more housing.

What we need is strong government, Honest politicians, realistic and costed plans, a reduction in our population size, more help for new and existing business including a drastic cut in red tape. So who do I put my cross against ?
