When we hear that all parties are committed to curb the influence of the lobbyists I am not surprised that we find ourselves heading for a hung Parliament. It is another attempt by the political class, perhaps unconscious, to distract us from their own complicity. It is the behaviour of the MPs and Peers as they are renumerated by big business for promoting its growth through legislation, regulation or the awarding of contracts that has compounded the electorate’s distrust of politicians. The system HAS to be refomed because the political class is increasingly on the take and with its demise our safety and security is eroded. Legislating against this grave and unsettling reality is not in the mandates of any of the parties. When I think of Gladstone the Liberal, Churchill the Conservative and Bevan the Labour man who was the driving force behind the NHS, the spin and narcicism of the TV debates is put into context. Awake people of Battersea and Britain. This system must be reformed.
STAND UP PEOPLE OF BATTERSEA AND BRITAIN

What would Bevan think of the current Labour party. They’re slowly privatising the NHS through PFI’s. These are of no benefit to the “clients” or patients as most of us know them, but very beneficial to the private companies like Serco. How does someone like Serco get to cash in on tax payers money? Lobbying, promises of jobs etc. It’s basically legalised corruption.
