What gets me is when I vote the man and not the party , the man then votes as if he owed all to the party.
Partys are the tools of the people for fighting issues , and at the same time they are the tools of the politicians for ropeing in the peoples support.
I think the partys are couzins to Shrodingers cat in this respect , they are ,and are not, at once the tool of the one and the other.
