Ironically, within those 2 parties there are a likely majority of MPs who could actually work well and strongly togethe.
Through that concensus between them,they could really bring fair and good policies for all the country and be a really good Govt.

Sadly the party machine system wouldn't nurture that.

Yeah, Joey, it is sad. I agree, that, no matter how poorly any of the parties actually perform, or whether we agree with their manifesto or not, there are always one or two, very sincere, very erudite, very capable individuals among them. How shrewd would it be to bring all these individuals together under one umbrella for the sake of Britain?

Well, we can dream can't we?
