None of my business, of course, but personally I would prefer amateurish idealists above corrupt liars like Labour or the Tories. But that's a matter of taste.

I wouldn't.

Parents lie to their kids about santa claus but it's better for all that they still run the family home. You cannot give that rule to the kids just because they've not told a lie........................yet.

That's not really a valid comparison. Most parents think about their children's well-being. Even when they lie they think it's for their children's good.
Most politicians do not think about their electorate's well-being. They think about their own well-being. When they lie, they try to hide something they don't want their voters to know.
You don't seriously think a child's frustration when he finds out Santa Claus does not exist, is in any way comparable to the mess Blair's lies created in Iraq, do you?

I agree; a shitty comparison, but what have our current politicians lied about that's affected our lives in a bigger way than when a child finds out there's no Santa?

When the voter finds out there really is such a thing as stealth taxes perhaps?

Well, where are these stealth taxes, and if you point them out, they're not very stealthy!
