Apart from the electorate of Maidenhead, we don't even get to vote for the person who appoints our Ministers!
Well, they really brought that bare-faced liar David Davis to account, didn't they!
Talking about ministers being accountable for their actions, looks like theres one here trying to walk back the clusterf**k that hes led us into. http://uk.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-brexit-stay-eu-soft-brexit-farage-2018-1

You only have to look at the opinion polls. With the Government in trouble on so many fronts, Labour should be streets ahead.They've missed more open goals than Rovers strikers have this season!
WiltsI don’t doubt that there’s sense behind Corbyn’s stance. For now. Labour will take a hit whichever side he finally comes down on. For now, it makes sense for him to keep schtum and avoid the issue. But that won’t wash in the next Election (if it happens pre March 2019). And it won’t wash if there’s no Election before then, because he’ll have a vote in the House to handle. Of course though, Corbyn, being a man of principle rather than an evasive politician will be relishing the moment when he tells us what he really thinks about the EU.
And the evidence of the effect of Brexit continues to mount. https://mobile.twitter.com/jdportes/status/956824679213404160
FiloThe data for all the other major countries is there in that second link I posted. Page 2. It’s not graphed up but you can read it for yourself. And here’s the problem. That comment implies that the way the original data was presented is trying to pull the wool over your eyes. That’s the Zeitgeist at the moment. If folk see someone present data that contradicts my opinions, they assume that they are dissembling and being economical with the truth and putting the best spin on that data. So they discount it.But this is a perfect example of what you COULD do. In the time it took that person to write the “wouldn’t it be interesting” tweet, they could have gone on Google and found the OECD report that I posted. Which clearly shows a common trend. EVERY major economy is seeing its growth strengthen over the past 18 months - apart from the UK which has seen its growth rate go from top of the list to bottom. 10 second’s effort to find the information you need.
