Do we still need party politics? this system was born in a different world to the one it has seen evolve, Labour and Tory become centristic while no body cares what the Liberals do. Surely we should vote for individuals who have proven themselves in local politics or something.

Both parties give the appearance of becoming centrist would be more accurate.

In a whole host of areas, from government spending to immigration policy, this government has been just as left wing as its 70s forebearers.
