Did you ever tell a little white lie? .....And then have to tell a whole heap of lies in order to substantiate the first lie?
Well that's what Party Politics is: the first little white lie. When a person joins a Party they agree to vote, speak and do as they are told, and in return the Party will look after them in various ways. This is the first little lie and little compromise that undermines our Democracy. Our problem is that we are concerned with the lies and broken promises that come later. Rarely if ever do we concern ourselves with the little lie upon which the political system has been constructed. If we wish to cure the disease we must fix the cause, and that is the first little lie.
