Politicians-- do they ever listen?

It's strange that when I listen to political programmes the protagonists involved never ever seem to give the electorate reasonable and honest answers, all they seem to be interested in is keeping their own jobs at whatever cost? I wonder at times the point of any politician, and their attitudes are quite frankly of no real value to a country as a whole, as many are purely in it for the greed and the corruption that it provides them with, as a form of furthering their careers and nests. European countries have their own issues but regarding Blighty, we always seem to score own goals when it comes to policies. It may be that as a country we should take a leaf out of France's book by completely disregarding some of the ridiculous European rules imposed upon us and create mayhem, and let's face it if the French hauliers can do it by blocking the tunnel then surely we can also cause our own particular brand of non obedience to both political mandarins and the political system in general. Together they have dismantled and disrupted every country they are involved in, surely there has to be a better way than politics to govern a country and send these parasites back from whence they came. Sometimes I just despair at how countries are governed.
