Let's not fool ourselves. Our Leader says he's listening...so it's all going to be alright? He says he is going to give us a say...so it's going to be alright? Much of the media commentary implies that we (mere mortals) are hapless bystanders of the bubbling Westminster cauldron.

What is loyalty? Those who consider themselves 'loyalists', say that voting with the whip is loyalty. Loyalists at the moment show disdain for the more Ian Mikardo or Dennis Skinner minded people of the Labour Party. But isn't loyalty being loyal to your convictions? To those who have said on this website that MP's should have voted with the Government on issues like Iraq because of loyalty to Labour, would you have voted against EEC entry in 1971?
