IN a survey, about half the population would consider replacing politicians with experts who have a proven track record of running big organisations.
The House of Commons is half full of career people, who give the game away by the subject they study at university – politics.

Their main interest is self-elevation, with some others it is money, which manifested itself in the expenses scandals, when some Labour MPs were actually sent to prison.
Moreover, how on earth have we come to a situation where we are ordered around by unaccountable and unelected foreign bureaucrats of the European Union, who meet behind closed doors in Brussels?
