putting powys on the map ...um

How interesting to see that two powys citizens have won their place in the european parliament.
Unfortunately the one is the leader of the british fascists.
That is surely another cornerstone of british democracy crumbling.
And for all the reticent mumblings over a democratically elected figure the real discomfort apart from the obvious horrors over mr griffins partys viewpoints and beliefs is the realisation that the major political parties are so devoid of ideas and have engaged so much ill feeling amongst the electorate that despite polling less than in the last election griffin managed to get himself elected.
That in itself we dont believe is in keeping with the rise of the right of centre parties in europe although cameron and the conservatives are ,uhum ,getting into bed with some dubious fellows, allbeit democratically elected in poland.

Needless to say the people of this country have sent a message to our parliament that being seen as unaccountable,arrogant,displaced and generally out of step with the electorate during a recession and the continuation of the game of part politics has led to the boundries changing.

Unless the 'majors get their act together it will give oppertunity to the extreme parties to make their mark in the general election.
