Reforms? - don't trust them

Each party is fighting to lead the pack on democratic and parliamentary reforms. Do they mean it or do they just want to get one over on the others? Is it still the old game but with new rules? In my opinion it is just that. The guilty are telling us they are reformed characters but the people know better. It is not just the system but the MPs themselves who are the problem. They see themselves as masters of the people instead of the servants we want them to be. Whatever they say different, that's the truth of it. The answer is not an election right now where the chairs are moved around but everything else stays the same. No, what's needed is for each party to clearly lay out its reform policy for us to judge, with a minimum pledge that an independent body will force the elected party to make good its promises.
