Are we safe in the hands of politicians?

We obviously have no choice other than continue using our existing democratic system of government. But the current system attracts those who are experts in spinning stories and those who can sound good and tell us what we sometimes want to hear. This creates a major problem as we are the prisoners of orators who are in it because they couldn't make it in any other profession. How safe do we feel for example knowing that someone with the low intellect of William Hague is making massive decisions on the foreign stage in our name? We should look at what we have again and one way to avoid having those who are experts in hot air is to reduce the MP's salaries by at least half!! These people will soon be working for Sainsburys instead!
