All politicians buy votes.

As Fittser said all politicians buy votes.
Maggie Thatcher did similar allowing Council house tenants the right to buy in the early 80's

Democracy a system where politicians use our money to stay in power.

NuLab have been buying votes since they got in. They are political blackmailers.
Firstly rezoning large Labour seats so that there are now 2, or rezoning Conservative seats so that a Labour majority is on the cards.
Secondly pandering to virtually criminal unions (who pay them) to keep useless jobs.
Thirdly and most recently, in the last 3 years creating 1 million non-jobs in civil service and other useless Quangos NGOs etc. emancipation facilitators and all that rubbish!
The lot could be fired tomorrow for all the good they do.....
