We now have three parties, no ideas

Daivd Cameron made a speech at the weekend indicating that the Conservative party must change. As the BBC gleefully pointed out, he made no reference to any of the issues we'd normally associate with the Tories. Instead, as far as I can glean from a half-concentrating assessment of second hand sources, he suggested that they need to listen to the electorate and piece together a group of policies that will get them votes. This is now an idea that seems to be coming from all three main parties - we don't want to influict any kind of views on you, just tell us what will keep us in power.

The Civil War ended in 1648, Charles I was executed and parliament became the ruling force. Since then, we've been in a democracy. To my understanding, democracy is where the people vote and get what the majority want. I'm amazed that it has taken three hundred and fifty years for us to figure out what a democracy is. That's what you're meant to do, guys, why haven't you been doing it for the last thirty-five decades?!
