Letter to the I: Democracy Letter

With regard to Kenneth R. Jarrett's letter, I believe he is wrong to lay the blame for the rise of UKIP and the Far Right on the "political class".  The hard truth is that we hold up the political class with our votes and all too often our apathy.  Voter apathy and unwillingness on the public's part to stand for election where veteran politicians have failed is what has caused our democracy to "wither on the vine".  We cannot teach our children to take responsibility for their actions if we do not do the same.

Regards
