Of course I am being extreme here Liv. I know that there are some of all parties who are genuine in their intentions and commitment, but these are in a minority, and I believe that even the most idealogical of newly elected MP's soon realise that they are 'swimming against the tide' and for the most part rendered impotent by an institutionally inept and corrupt system.
