Party Politics and Opaque Transparency

Today the British Parliament enacted a bit of legislation on allowing Homosexuals and Lesbians to marry, a political commitment that none of the political parties bothered to include in their party manifesto's, and therefore which has no moral legitimacy.

Why they chose to do these things, while claiming that we are a democratic society, is beyond me. But Daniel Webster provides a good quote “There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters

Its little wonder that they are frequently shown to be self serving hypocrites, who are happy to try and subvert the course of justice, and lie to the public and the police ..... see Jeffrey Archer, Jonathan Aitken, Elliot Morley, Margaret MoranChris Huhne, and Sundry Others of All Parties.

So once again, all six hundred and fifty of them, have chosen to act on their own, and just the change the social fabric of the UK once again ..... now we will hear the sound of "Do you Brian take Terry as your Husband, and do you Terry take Brian as your Husband" or will that be 'wife', and the BBC will have a million and one TV shows on the theme  ...... Actually I have no idea if they want to parody the current heterosexual marriage service, or if they intend to have a whole new service .... still that's the world we now live in.

Husband and Husband

Of course I understand about Civil Rights, Equality etc, and I have no argument against those principles, or that if we had waited for the popular vote against slavery, or segregation, or women's rights some or all of these things may never have occurred.

But my complaint is that politicians and political parties should practise the 'transparency' they all preach, and not wait until mid parliament to vote through laws that none of them were prepared to stand for at the election.

This has same odour of the 'mass immigration' non debate that the UK has not had ...... you know the one, the one in which the political parties either proposed or objected to the social change in the UK caused by immigration from Africa, and the Asian Sub Continent which has so radically altered the UK that I don't recognise the land I was born into .....
