Blair is destroying democratic principles

Curious Hamster:

All politicians lie. Of course they do. So we caught one at it in a fairly enormous way? What's the problem? Why are you shocked? Get over it.

I. Will. Not. And neither should anyone who professes to care about democracy.

That's right at the end, but read the whole post; the very idea that we should just accept the idea that they're all the same, that they all lie. It's just wrong.

The system may encourage dodgy politics, it may push towards managerial centralism, but that's not a reason to accept it.
