British political parties
British political parties do not serve the interests of democracy because instead of representing the people, they impose their own ideas on the public. The party workers choose what policies they will offer for public consumption work out their arguments and those of the opposition parties, they will then only talk about their chosen subjects. Thus creating the impression of an open and all encompassing political debate whilst in reality they are confining the debate to their chosen areas.
In this they are backed by a supine main stream media who seem quite happy to go along with the impression that our political parties are actually offering us a choice, in the main the MSM is content to issue - in some cases line for line - the parties press releases, or invent a debate by only concentrating on the frivolous, there is no real attempt to widen the political debate or serious attempt to pursue areas not sanctioned by the parties.
