		<description><![CDATA[We live under a government that seems to have a very schizophrenic attitude towards reform.
On the one hand, the government appears to be reforming things all the time. It is continually overhauling the education system or the health system. It talks endlessly about parliamentary reform. In the wake of the MPs’ expenses scandal, lots of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the reforms offered for debate by Power2010 fall short of the fundamental changes Britain needs, and certainly don’t go far enough to challenge the underlying structure of British politics, they should nonetheless be welcomed by all those interested in furthering the cause of democracy.  Most of the ideas that made it through the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MPs fiddle while the planet burns. Our rights and freedoms are under attack. Bankers blow billions and the taxpayer foots the bill. Politics is broken and it will take the people to fix it, the “demos” must take the lead in democracy. Power2010’s key premise is unashamedly republican.

If popular sovereignty is the heart of Republican [...]]]></description>

These people demonstrate a stubborn refusal to accept anything but the most obsequious and flattering [...]]]></description>
