It's your vote, use it!

Sir, I see that the Labour Party is still in power in Rotherham in spite of all the cuts and mismanagement.

I truly believe that if at the next Rotherham Labour party announced that after the election they were going to execute everyone over the age of 30, the voters would still vote for them!

I don't know what the answer to the "Yellow Dog" constituency is; make people take a test before voting in which they had to answer questions on the manifestos of the persons standing for election?

Until the people of Rotherham wake up they'll just get more of the same. Below is a quote from over 100 years ago re politics in America, but the same sentiments apply to day here in Britain.

"The people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities.... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation... it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."

James A Garfield (1831-1881)
