The next election will simply replace one bunch of greedy, dishonest, incompetent muppets with another.
Petitions and protests never work, but then again neither do vandalism and violence.
Country-wide General strikes and the withholding of taxes do. But the population of this country have become far too weak, segregated and selfish for such action to be realistically achievable any more.
It's a shame really...

Absolutely! Why not? It wasn't all that long ago that Maggie Thatcher was forced to scrap the poll tax, largely due to people refusing to pay it.
We ought to be refusing to pay taxes until MP's salaries and expense accounts are cut to a reasonable level, with the revenue freed-up being ploughed into public services.
Then they'd have to do something!

If this is still going on when I'm 18, I'll certainly be part of the revolt.
