Are the UK politicians mad or something?

I just can't believe that the politicians in the UK can be so stupid in some of the things that they do or say. Without being specific, which would need a huge volume of books, it seems to me that they do and say things without realising that most of us 'ordinary' people can see right through what they are saying. Do they really believe we are so naive about life that we will just accept what they say as being right or even sensible?

Alan Duncan, a senior conservative recently made comments about MP's having to 'live on rations' and being 'treated like shit' whilst being filmed secretly. He later apologies and said he was only joking. I watched the secret film and believe me, he was not joking, whatever he might have said later. OK so he has apologised and we have all moved on, but I'd like to wager that those words he spoke, and actually exactly what he felt and meant! I was horrified when David Cameron rushed to his support.

I was beginning to believe that the conservatives might be about ready to govern this country, but it now appears that they are little better than the current labour party. I for one do not believe anything I hear any more.

What about you?
