LETTER: People want their democracy back
‘Of course they talk the talk before elections, they say what they feel they must say to get our support when they want our support. But on so many issues – on modernising our politics, on controlling our borders, on less government, on bank reform, on cutting public debt, on an EU referendum – they never actually let it happen.’
Mr Carswell was only reflecting the disenchantment of many voters with the old PC political classes, who continue to put party and career before country. Those such as Mr Maude should ask themselves, why so many no longer want to vote for their parties.

People want their democracy back, including the promised Localism, and they don’t like spin and deception.
