Look out! Toads!!!

There's little trust in politics and even less trust in politicians. That's one of the findings of the oddly incomplete Power Inquiry into political and democratic participation by the masses:

How can democracy survive when we feel politicians don’t listen?

It's worse than not listening to us I'm afraid. It's also about not telling the truth. Alfie asks:

Can Simon Hughes explain why only a few months ago he declared his support for an English Parliament, only to jettison this view once he declared his intention to lead the LibDems.

I thought politics was all about belief, passion and HONESTY - clearly I am mistaken.

The reply?

Guess what, Simon said he’d always said he wanted EvoEM (English Votes on English Matters) – and he had always been up front about that…… Liar, liar, Hughes’ pants on fire….

Remember now, the skin of some toads is poisonous. Avoid contact at all costs, but then again I don't need to tell you that. The Power Inquiry proves that you lot already know.

Oh the humanity of it all.
