Yesterday London Mayor, Boris Johnson anounced that he is scrapping the Western extension of the congestion charge zone. This tax was introduced by previous Mayor, barmy Ken, despite 85% of people in the area saying that they didn't want it. Boris Johnson did his own consultation and found that the vast majority of people still don't want it so has decided to scrap it.
The left wingers, loony left, greens and other minorities are now all up in arms about this, some even threatening to take legal action to try and stop him scrapping it.
But his decision is right. It doesn't matter what the rights and wrongs of the charge itself are. What matters is that the majority of people do not want it. And as we live in a democracy that is the only thing that matters.
Politicians are there for one reason only, to do what we require of them. Their personal opinions are irrelavant, the wishes of minority groups are irrelevant and the opinions of lunatic green groups are irrelavant.
These people are condeming Boris Johnson when all he is doing is doing the job he was elected to do, represent the people and abide by their wishes. It is called democracy. Which is why it has upset the left wingers so much, because, just like their unelected leader, they don't believe in democracy.
