Think Politics Doesn't Affect You?

I only wish that last night the hundreds of cars that I was stuck with crawling into Liverpool with all understood that politics failed them last night.

Sometimes we have to appreciate that politics isn't about high falluting ideas and principles.

Sometimes it's about whether we have enough grit. Salt mined in Cheshire and transported 15 miles away to Liverpool.

And last night that didn't happen. Everybody in every pub, in every newsagent knows that Liverpool City Council, through incompetence, ran out of grit yesterday.

We should do well to remember that voters expect services to be well run - and they'll punish those that can't. Just like they'll punish the Lib Dems later this year.
