The role of Government.

The role of Government is to promote the general welfare of citizens. All of us. We elect members of the Government to do this, and we pay their salaries through general taxation. Can anything significant that Government has done over the last two and a half years genuinely meet this description? It seems to me that this Conservative Government, with a few notable exceptions, are more interested in the welfare of themselves and their party than the rest of us. They are ruled by dogma and even now members of the party are lining up to try and grab power from the Prime Minister, but as Nick Boles, one of the good guys, has said, none of them deserve this honour. So where is the opposition when we need them? Truth is, they have failed too. If now is not the time to call a vote of no confidence, when is? How much worse does it have to get? Whether you are a Leave supporter who feels let down by the Government's broken promise to honour the result of the 2016 Referendum, or a Remain supporter who feels that the welfare of the 48% who voted to stay in the EU has been totally ignored, everyone feels angry, let down and not listened to. The Government's failure to reach out to opposition parties and to compromise, even in the face of crashing out of the EU without a deal, and all that might mean for the British people is downright irresponsible. I hate to say it, but I think we need a General Election, not another Referendum. That's the best way for the people to have their say. Government's govern by the leave of the people. This one, and its leader have been found wanting, and we, the people are well and truly fed up!
