Think I'm with Merrick, here. But not in any anarcho statue kickeing way.

We (the electorate) vote in a representative. Effectively a delegate to parliament to act for the interests an opinions of the constituency. This does not happen.

For example. My MP is a former head of the EIS (biggest teaching union in Scotland - for those firth of the parish). She has sat over the biggest programme of school closures ever in this area. She has vociferously defended these in the face of unpresidented protest in the area. Simply to be following the party line. This cannot be right.

ps. Surely the abolition of slavery in the US was the last thing Lincoln wanted to do? It just happened to be politically expediant to do so to win the war (fresh cannon fodder).
