What Democracy?

It seems that the prime minister has now got a team of unelected advisers in number 10, This so call A team will cost the tax payers an estimated £1 million with the average pay packet around £100,000, not bad work if you can get it, again its jobs for the boys from a corrupt politician who is always talking about meritocracy, but that obvious that that is not for him.  It is obvious that cronyism is at the fore front of his agendas. Its reported that this initiative has been criticised by senior figures within the coalition, but its obvious that these spineless people will not openly oppose Cameron. Now we read about EU farming subsidies for the Royal Family and other well off farmers that is costing the tax payers an estimated £1 Billion a year. Ministers have ordered an information blackout on these massive farming subsidies to the Queen in the region of £500,000 and £100,000 to the Prince of Wales. They are amongst the alleged 80,000 wealthy farmers who have benefited from these subsides.The Department for the Environment said it was administratively not feasible to separate company and private details so it was banning the publication of both. That remark to me sounds as though it is feasible to differentiate between both? The more that the rich and well off get into these kind of deals the more that the average person will be kept in the dark with feeble excuses from those holding the purse strings, purses  that contains our money. The whole edifice is corrupt from to to bottom. If this kind of thing goes on now can it only get worse if we have AV voting. The people who want this say that it will make the elected more accountable to the electarate. If these people who want AV really believe that why are they not whistle blowing on the corruption that exists now within Westminster and the corridors of power and telling the electarate, or do they in some small way have their greasy fingers in the pie?
