SIR –Do readers of the Worcester News agree with me that the Brexit Debate has demonstrated that our two party system of democracy is outdated and broken?

We are witnessing a potential denigration of our economy, jobs, standard of living and public finances just because one party leader put trying to keep her party together before the interests of the country.

Who is not to say that, should the leader of the opposition be in power, he would not do the same thing?

One problem we face is that the two party system we have is self serving. It pays them to stick to the status quo not us.

Most other successful countries like Germany have governments made up of many parties due to their various voting systems.

They have learned that to succeed in any policy they have to compromise. That is why the EU look upon our handling of Brexit in utter amazement and shock.

I suspect they were watching the ‘Indicative Vote Debate’ on Wednesday last when, after the votes were counted, Anna Soubry tried to make a point of order and was confronted by a braying crowd of Tories who would not let her get a word in.

Many of them products of Public Schools who, because of their tribal propensities act in this schoolboy way. This is what our politics has come to, the laughing stock of the world.

Many people I meet say they are not interested in politics. This is one of the reasons we are where we are. People should realise that politics affect all their lives and they should be interested in who and how their hard earned taxes are spent.

At the moment it means an increase in food banks and an increase in billionaires.

Let us find a better way of governing ourselves?

TERRY JAMES
