Hi Hilary, If we all thought that, nothing would ever change, certainly not for the better ! If we were to give up hope and "let it all happen ", there would be no debate. Why do you think that many consider a hung parliament a good option ? Because no one person or party would have so much power that they abuse it and would be forced to listen to other views, whatever their own "programme".Some women worked hard (even gave their lives) to get the vote for we girls and I, for one, will make full use of mine. Not for me the, we can't -change -things -so -why -bother, attitude.That is how they trample on the people, apathy is their best weapon,election by default.Funnily enough, this very chat-line was founded by the marvellous Jane, at a time when many needed to talk and exchange views and get help which was not available elsewhere.Reading the postings, such as that of David, some still are fighting back against injustice and that has to be a good thing,whether or not he actually makes a differnce, sitting back and doing nothing is not an option for some (luckily!). Politics divides but not all are charletons. Frances
