This is history

We are privileged to witness democratic history being made. At last the public, you and me, have increasing power to peer deeply into a previously secret society - and see what we always expected to see - corruption and personal gain. Now we've got the appetite for it we should peer further; into the House of Lords; into the 'Grace and Favour' business; into the fabulous cosseted cosiness of the Whitehall mandarins. Where wil it stop? Don't believe that 'independent scrutiny' will achieve what we want: this, the most centralising government ever, has got its fingers well and truly into every corner, so there is no true independent body left; they are al beholden in some way to government. On all these issues, and increasingly, the public should have a direct vote. WE should vote a body of scrutineers to serve our needs and WE should insist on direct votes for key issues that affect us; like taxes, EU membership and social legislation that attempts to control us. We know we cannot trust MPs to do it for us.
