<i>Its always being said by those on the left that democracy is more than being accountable at elections every four or five years.</i>
This is a pretty blatant moving of the goal-posts, richotto. You claim that the SP and SWP have no democratic accountability, someone points out that they fight elections, and you say that you had a different concept of accountability in mind. Very poor show.
<i>You can see a discernable</i>[sic]<i> conversation between mainstream parties and the electorate and adjustments in policies occouring as a result.</i>
If there was ever a point where dangerous naivete and utter cynicism rhyme, this would be it.
Unfortunately, it can also be applied to the likes of the SP and SWP. Neither the Household Charge or the Property Tax is popular by any metric - are they not responding to the desires of the electorate?
