The will of the what now?

You know, there is nothing quite like disaffection. That creeping realisation that, no matter what politicians and their buddies say, you actually don’t feel that they represent you very well at all. If life were an exam I would have started out marking their papers with a ludicrously high 6 out of 10 only to see the mark drop to 2 out of 10 a few years later. Where did they go so wrong? Too much time down the student bar? Got mixed up with the wrong sort? Do I dare mark them at a 1 out of 10 as I sometimes feel they deserve?

You know when you’re there, in the camp with the rest of us tired and cynical travellers of that long road named “experience”, when you read something like this…

"For the political reality to be changed would create a significant upheaval in the present legislative programme and present constitutional settlement on which ultimately the will of the people, represented through the House of Commons, rests."
