Default the great unmentionable of the general election

So if for a moment you thought that what the electorate wants really

matters
to politicians, think again. Since when did they ever listen to the

voters?

They do. They listen very closely. And what they hear is that people
really aren't too bothered by the state of the railway system and the
moment - and certainly not as much as they are bothered about other
things, like finding an NHS dentist, starting wars or reducing council
tax bills.


Starting wars? Hmm, in years to come they'll still be telling tales of the
government that took us on an illegal war based on fabricated evidence after
a million people marched on Westminster to say "We don't want to go to war."
Hardly listening to the voters.
