Answer....
It's because the vast majority who agree largely with the views expressed here don't kick up a big enough stink. They just sit quietly by and observe hoping that things will get better given time, given time, given time.........
Vociferous minority groups make it their lifes work to force ridiculous change; hunting ban, handgun ban, all manner of other bans and restrictions that have no real effect. Its "knee jerk" policy making to appease the vociferous voters, a massive proportion of the electorate feel so diesnfranchised by it all that they no longer even bother to vote..
Too many "do gooders" who are constantly concerned more about the rights of the wrongdoers than those of the wronged, while that situation prevails we don't have a snowball in hells chance of improving life in this country.
FWIW I'd like to see a party come forward with a manifesto based primarily on basic achievable commitments to sort out the things that the majority of us are concerned about, crime and punishment, education, NHS, utilities, the rights of the decent citizens etc. No more pedantic legislation (this government has introduced legislation at a rate hitherto unheard of, most of it too complex to comprehend and unenforceable due to the parlous state of the police and judicial systems)
I'm not interested in them knocking on about how bad the others are, if you've ever watched prime ministers question time the petty points scoring that goes on is worse even than this forum gets at times and these are the people who govern us !.
