ACCORDING to our millionaire Prime Minister, our kids having the choice of going to the elite school Eton just fills me with joy!

How anyone can fall for this line I’ll never know.

Compare our democracy with Venezuela – who just re-elected the so-called ‘dictator’ Hugo Chavez – to our system. I wonder which is better?

In one, you elect a minority of MPs, because you’re scared they will trash the economy and our NHS. The Tories break election promises about big changes in the NHS with their buddies, the even bigger promise-breaking Lib Dems.

This coalition of the rich support the bankers who are their paymasters, give huge tax breaks to the rich and penalise the ordinary voter for the mess the bankers created.

In Venezuela, according to US journalist Thom Hartmann, the recent re-election was “another win for Socialism”.

A South American country that has thrown off the western shackles can re-distribute wealth but here the ordinary worker/pensioner have their wealth re-distributed to the rich.

I’m no supporter of this shower, or the New Labour alternative !
