I agree entirely Smasher, and it does not even seem to matter which particular "name" of party is in power. They are all the same. As soon as they have been elected they appoint all their own cronies and feather their own nests. As the saying goes "Power corrupts" and this was never so true as it is today.

Due to the fact that all the heads of these Quangos like Ofwat, Ofgem, Ofcom etc. are appointed because they are cronies that is why we never get any proper regulation which takes the interests of the consumers (the members of the electorate) into account. I think the problem is that we never had a proper Revolution in this country. We had at least one significant Civil War, but that is not quite the same.
