If you can speak, you can attempt to persuade people that the status quo
is wrong and that you have a better solution.  Speak well enough and
things will change.

Ghods how I hate how pathetic the Tories have become.  Part of the reason
the current government is disliked so much is that there is no effective
opposition in parliament to keep them in check.  The Tories have their
right to speak, but it seems that right now whenever they do they have
nothing of any relevance to say.  And it's not even as if arguing against
some government actions would be difficult.

I don't want to see another Tory government, but things are so bad that
I'd almost be tempted to vote for them just to make sure there's some
healthy opposition!
