I have to say, i find the idea of enforced political loyalty despicable since it goes against the idea of a representative democracy.

I do believe that stem cell research should be allowed to continue unhindered, but i also think that people in general should be informed about it, rather than being given directives from on high.

If the sitting government cannot convince their own party to vote their way, then as is proper in british politics a vote of no confidence should be called on the leadership and the country can decide. The current top down politics has been shown to be arrogant, corrupt, and guilty of many crimes including incompetence, crimes against humanity, violation of international principles, and also moving the United Kingdom towards a police state.

The fact of the continual labour victories should be taken in context with the woefully weak opposition parties, while Mr Cameron may have some intelligent ministers, he honestly has no ability to win an election, and my feelings on the liberal leadership, are of mild despair, tinged with faint hope.

I'm a believer in direct democracy, or as near as possible so i feel that no matter how much i feel aligned with the lib dems, i would like to see them, and both other parties broken up into far smaller parties, partially locale based, and partially belief based. It may not be the most efficient system at all times, but the Israeli parliament seems able to function with coalitions of myriad different parties working in cooperation.
