What are politicians there for?

[Sombrero]

well we vote for them and they say they'll do this and that... but they don't!

They're mantra should be "make life better for everyone" and they don't.

Day after day we see ....... 20 million spent on xxx £40billion given to,,,xxx

they don't make my life any better, they just make it harder....... that's wrong...

so why do we bother with politicians?

Well nearly 70% of the electorate don't bother with them.
Lets face it they don't have a lot of power now anyway which ever set wins.

They are there for themselves and their buddies because they can't be bothered to get a proper job.

They keep the media in business.
