How do you achieve that however when you have those in power dismissing or only paying lip service to arising issues.
So ignore petitions and currently even their own all party select committees.
Con or Lab or even the coalition.
These issues have been swept under the carpet and largely ignored.
Even moreso under this power mad lot in now.
From Labour in 2005 taking power with barely 36% of the vote.
The major so called parties, barely take 75% of the votes between them.
That means 25% of voters don't even vote for either main party..
I in 4 voters.
Yet one or the other gets absolute power, to ride over and ignore serious issues like race and even the massive social injustices.
In the light of that ignorance from those supposedly in power to serve, no matter which party it is in power,even in local authority settings too, how do you get things that should be, changed and put right.
Everyone has 2 ears and one mouth, as the saying goes.
Which means, even moreso to those in power, we should be listening twice as much as we are talking.
