Im reminded of Ken Livingstone's novel - 'If voting changed anything then they would abolish it. '

I bet the ex-Mayor is chewing those words now...

Now re-read my post...

It doesn't absolve responsibility on the MPs who were blatently playing the system,

an edited section of my post taken out of context. My original post actually included the word BUT and some weasly words attempting to provide justification for the thieving b'stards

but I think some at least were genuinely following advice from people they thought knew best.
