Give UKIP a try.

What do people want instead of democratically elected MP's. Do they want a dictatorship, do they want the army to take control.

We live in a democracy, its not perfect but its way better than many countries have, look at what is happeneing in the Middle East as an example.

If MP's actually represented their constituents instead of voting as their leaders told them so as to keep themselves in the running for even more lucrative posts, then it would be a democracy.

For example, a majority of the electorate don't want to have stupid rules imposed on them by EU officials, but all three parties give in time after time.

As it is, voting for any candidate of the three major parties is largely a waste of time.

With a few honourable exceptions, politicians (national and local) are now in it as a profitable career which requires none of the qualifications or skills which they wouild need for a proper, productive job.

The Lib Dems have shot themselves in both feet over the coalition so anything they say is now irrelevant - and I used to vote for them!.

However, legislation to deter people from buying thirsty cars is a good idea. Oil is a finite resource and now that good all-round family cars that can better 50 mpg are commonplace, the days of new gas guzzlers must surely be numbered.

If they ever bring in another scrappage scheme - it should only be for cars over 2 litres if replaced by ones of under 2 litres.

It is totally nuts. How am I meant to tow a trailer full of cattle with a Toyota Yaris? Are they planning to bankrupt farmers etc who need a workhorse? Not that I am ever likely to buy a new vehicle... Sorry don't think UKIP is a credible alternative, any other suggestions appreciated though. I am a Tory usually but disgusted by HS2 and many other things.

Yes, sometimes they get it wrong, although probably not as often as politicians. WE mustn't judge them all bu one example of incompetence: in this particular case the DoT should have recognised that expert help was needed. There needs to be more partnership between the public and private sectors, particularly with regard to training.
