“Your vote, your voice”………really?
If this was true there would indeed be true Democracy, but it’s not!
It’s more like ‘vote for us then be quiet’!
Last night a ‘Lord’ was bemoaning the fact that constituents couldn’t get into Parliament to see their MPs because of the protesters outside, he also added he and others couldn’t get out……I liked that bit!!!
It appears the voices of the masses account for nothing, we are allowed to speak once via the Ballot Box and that’s the sum total of our input! That’s what they call Democracy!
On the whole, the public attitude to Politics is……”I’ve voted so I’ve done my bit”, then if we don’t like what happens we vote for someone else in 5 years’ time. But 5 years is a long time, a lot can happen. Manifestos are brushed aside and replaced by add-hoc policies that fill the boots of the rich at the expense of the rest of us. Billions were paid out to firms during Covid 19……the pop-up companies of the wealthy with no due diligence. Yes Covid 19 was an unusual event but not giving due diligence is becoming a regular event!
Who fills the empty pot………we do!
There will be a GE next year, are we just going to press the ‘repeat’ button? Or have we the guts to press the ‘stop’ button?
When it comes to stopping Freeports/Ezs we can do that now. Lookup freeports@salvo.scot.
This reading comes with a health warning!
Liberation.scot is a place where your voice will count now, no need to wait for a GE where it won’t count!

Proud to say never voted Tory in my life.As I have mostly lived in Scotland I do not get what I voted for. That’s why I want Independence.
