Curiosidade do dia

"Things must not go on as they have been. The test of the UK's democracy is whether that reality is recognised and options for improvement discussed. That, one might have thought, is what a general election is for. But political commentators mostly seem to agree that this is hopelessly naive: the electorate does not want to be told the truth and could not understand it if they were. They should be kept in the dark and fed on manure, like the mushrooms they are. This is what the sophisticated political gurus advise. What has been the result? Disenchantment. Any political system, especially a democracy, has to deliver results."
