That is hilarious, Voterland.

>>So he invented the Votergram which went to every member of parliament and launched it in 1986. A resounding success to this day it had MPs doing what voters wanted and taking on board good ideas<<

What on earth did they write about that was such a "resounding success"?

It certainly couldn't have been on the topic of airports, water supply, rail systems, road building or road maintenance, public/private partnerships, unified public transport ticketing systems - in fact, public transport in general... so what could it have been?

Or, perhaps they did write on those subjects.

In which case, I'd suggest that "resounding success" is probably overstating the case.

Monumentally.

But hey, I'm being unnecessarily cynical. Do tell. What resounding successes have been wrought, instigated by the Votergram?

<< Then with any sort of luck voters will convince politicians to get rid of those offensive bureaucrats who like to work more for the developers than the voters who pay them. Of course it may be that the developers pay them too.They have certainly paid a lot to political parties but voters are getting the upper hand. >>

Voterland, I would love to think that voters are getting the upper hand with the terrible bias of government towards developers, big business and continuous-growth-espousing pseudoeconomists!

But I can’t see it.

What makes you think that voters are gaining ground here?
