The problem with the ballot box is that it can take 5 years before we can bring them to account. Lies are now just accepted way of getting power. They hope the mugs will have forgotten by the time of re-election, or they can always lie again...
e.g Tory leadership campaign and candidates promising massive tax cuts and improvements to public services. We all know its a lie, but just accept it as 'part of the game'. Our democracy is in a bad state.
