Politicians: face reality and tell us the truth

I don't know about anyone else, but I am already tired of election coverage, especially when it is concentrated on the narrow range of discussion in which we have allowed ourselves to be corralled. The be-all and end-all seems to be who is going to be in power after the election. The fact that we are supporting a system whereby as soon as elected, our representatives will set about pretending that they can confer priveleges on their constituents so that they will be voted in again next time, is largely ignored.
