I think a better plan would be if everyone were to spoil ther ballot paper, not that i agree with that either, but I agree with your assessment of most of our politicians. Fortunately though there are still a few good ones out there, my MP for example (Alan Simpson), George Galloway and Menzies Campbell aswell IMO, to name just three.
