Mate, the best tin foil to make hats out of is the Christmas Turkey stuff which, with my spy cam, I can see is in the cupboard behind the Daily Mail tea mug. Now if you'll excuse me I'm slated for a reading of the Koran with Barak Obama.
I believe this is why, on the whole, discussing politics should be avoided on special interest sites.
Also which people do you specifically count as "native people of the UK"? White Christians by any chance?

JohnnyO said:I do take your point BigD. However to be pedantic (plse indulge me, it's the province of the elderly) no one I know actually voted for a compromise government. That is in fact what the political establishment decided for us. So to suggest that the electorate feel that the system(s) of proportional election available will represent us I'd suggest isn't entirely proven. Or, to quote Ms Nicola Sturgeon (Pre eminent in the Scottish Executive in the past after losing in elections, yet deputising for Mr. Salmond who was in London claiming expenses for groceries whilst MPs were not sitting) we now live in a "Political Democracy". Which, I believe, is political speak for what Lewis Carroll said was, "A word means what I want it to mean".
