Being in America I don't know much about the intricacies of British politics. However, most governments the world over have a similar tendency: They either start out power crazed, self-serving, and overly protective of their right to rule; or they start off with the best of intentions and over the generations become power crazed, self-serving, and overly protective of their right to rule. That usually entails snubbing the working classes as the people in charge are people with *money* or people supported by people with *money*. They need the working classes to make their money for them. Any laws passed will be passed with an eye toward keeping them rich and on top and poor, working class, and immigrants at each other's throat. That's why a lot of laws passed that helps one group usually hurts or angers another group.
Starting your own political party based around your own common concerns is always a good idea, but be warned: Many of the groups you complain about probably started the same way, but over the years as they grew in power and influence, their purposes changed and not always for the better; Any group you start can end up the same way and you can end up becoming tomorrow what you're compaining about today.

As someone who's voted for all three at some point, I would never vote for any of them ever again. The Labour Party has betrayed the trust and good will it was given in 1997. Blair has shown himself to be a shallow, lying, belief-free egomaniac, and Brown just disturbs me - he's a deeply unpleasant man. I agree that Labour reward criminals, perverts and crooks, but if you think about it, it's these people who keep big government BIG. If everyone were like us, law abiding, tax-paying, decent people, the Labour Party would have no excuse to keep its beloved huge state the size it is.
The Liberals are aimless, tax-and-spend perverts and as you say the Tories are rudderless New Labour wannabes. The fringe parties offer no alternatives, I agree about the BNP, but I suspect they will pick up quite a few votes at the next election, what with the current political vacuum and uncontrolled immigration Blair and his joke ministers have allowed.
My advice is emigrate. If I were a few years younger, I would look to go to Canada or Australia.

i can't think of any party.
you have to live like this and sufferings will increase in the years to come. Read below:
Fool Britannia - a society in denial
Britain has traditionally been populated by people who see themselves as slightly superior to the rest of the world. The hangover from times when Britannia ruled the waves, as well as a number of other countries, has taken a long time to shake off and an international snobbery is still prevalent amongst much of the population. Pride, we are told, comes before a fall and the British remain so proud that we are oblivious to the decline of our society that is already well underway. Either that or we are in denial.
Top of the pile is where Britons have always claimed to belong and that is exactly where we are now. But unfortunately, we are topping all the wrong piles. This week a report reveals that Britons consume more cocaine than people in almost every other European country. The findings of the European Monitoring Centre on Drugs and Drug Addiction's study, highlight that cocaine use among 16-to-24-year-olds has more than doubled in the last seven years. In 2005, there were 171 cocaine-related deaths in Britain – up from 147 in 2004. It is also estimated that Brits part with up to £57 million each week to fund cocaine habits.
Looming epidemic
It makes pretty grim reading and it doesn't get any better. Drug charities have voiced fears that cocaine users will progress to crack cocaine and Britain is supposedly faced with a looming epidemic of crystal meth use, which is the drug that has been the scourge of the US. Four years ago, an undercover journalist found traces of cocaine in the House of Commons press gallery, The Ritz, The Savoy and the Royal Opera House. But cocaine is no longer reserved for the rich and famous.
It doesn't need Sherlock Holmes, or in fact a European study, to tell us that cocaine is everywhere in Britain. It's in pubs, clubs, offices, building sites and even schools and the police have outlined an intention to crack down on middle-class cocaine users who see no harm in dabbling at weekends. It's hard to see what difference it will make if a few Friday night dinner parties are interrupted by unwanted guests from the police just as the After Eights are doing the rounds. It is not a policy that will strike at the heart of the problem. Cocaine abuse in Britain is spiralling out of control and a UN report earlier this year named and shamed London as the cocaine capital of the world. Crack cocaine use is also on the up, as is the number of people who smoke cannabis. The only positive of this week's report is that ecstasy use has dropped in the last seven years.
Jean-Luc Lemahieu, chief of the Europe and West/Central Asia section of the United Nations office on drugs and crime, warns that the "picture does not look too bright" for drugs in the UK. Speaking at a police conference in Manchester this week, Lemahieu said: "The emerging drug is cocaine. And if the cocaine market declines elsewhere more of the production needs to be re-directed and Europe seems to be a prime target. A new breed of drug user has emerged who does not see it [cocaine] as unsafe having grown up in the 1990s during the ecstasy drug boom."
Hall of shame
It doesn't bode well for the future, but drug abuse isn't the only hall of shame that Britain finds itself at the top of. The teenage pregnancy rate in the UK is the highest in Western Europe, even though pregnancy rates among under-18s are currently at their lowest for 20 years in England. In October, the Health Profile of England report showed that 23% of adults were obese, giving the UK the highest rate in Europe. In September, a study found that Britons are responsible for a third of all unsecured debt in Europe and Britons are also leading the way in Europe in the online gambling stakes, with one in three European players coming from Britain. It's a sorry state of affairs and binge-drinking hasn't even had a mention yet – something that everyone knows Britain does better than anyone else.
What is to blame for this fall from grace? The weather perhaps, after all, with a climate like Britain's what else is there to do other than sit about running up huge debts from cocaine-influenced gambling in online casinos? With big debts to pay off a gym membership is out of the question, especially with the price of junk food and cigarettes these days. It may seem like an exaggeration of the society we live in today, but it might not be too far from the truth in a few years as the future really doesn't look too bright. Not only are there high teenage pregnancy rates, but more youngsters than ever are suffering from mental health issues. Parents are reportedly bullying GPs into prescribing anti-depressants for their children, giving birth to what has been dubbed the 'Prozac generation'. When you add the infamous "hoodie" culture that is sweeping through society into the mix, things start to look even more alarming.
In 1997, when Blair came to power, education was his number one priority. He vowed to get tough on crime and the causes of crime and said his government would help build strong families and strong communities. As Labour's longest-serving Prime Minister he has certainly had the time to make good on those promises. You could argue all day about which aspects of Britain have improved in the last 10 years and which have got worse, and that is exactly what we have politicians for. But, as Blair prepares to bid farewell, unless something dramatic happens in the first half of 2007, it is hard to see how anyone can claim he leaves Britain in a better overall state than he found it.
