Well.. pollitics. I'm not going to go on a tangent, promise.
Well what are different parties saying?
Labour: rhetoric- tories think it is just 'their turn to take over'- look at all the good things we have done. Tories- booo.
Conservatives: Rhetoric and Gordon Brown is an old fart who thinks he can save the world, we are well far superior, innit? swell.
Liberal Democrats- look at those two arguing, we don't argue- which is definitley not because we all know we are not contenders, because we definatley are in with a chance of winning the election, definitley yes, we definitley do (is anyone convinced yet?), but because WE are the best party.. and we might as well not bother with the rhetoric.
And please can we stop with this misconception about 'left' and 'right', 'tis not so black and white. There are many other factors involved.
The thing is that governments are so fundamentally flawed because ideologies all claim eutopian solutions, but in practicality human greed and power gets in the way.
'With our love, we could save the world' are words as true today as they ever were.
I am not voting for any party until (I am old enough and) they sell all our weapons, encourage our allies to put down the proverbial guns to everyone elses heads and use that money to feed, cloth and educate the world over, each human being included, which the money could and would do many times. We would have no enemies to 'protect ourselves from'. Until patriotism and the concept of 'countries' are erradictaed, without these imaginary lines in the sand, there would be nothing to fight about. (vote for me, miss america!) I will not vote until we are ACTUALLY liberal, until we are not controlled, like 'a bewildered herd' were the government tells us they care about us- yeah, they care about us soo much that they get to make our decisions for us, because if we made our own decisions we don't know enough to make the right decisions for us, so we will have it imposed upon us. We are free to do what they tell us. Yay-- god save the queen, now I'm going to read some media frenzy and moan about pollitical correctness and forget that fundamentally we are governed by a state which dictates our actions and drowns us in beaurocracy. If that made any sence to anyone I'll be delighted. So, until those thing happen I won't vote- so.. I probably won't e voting in my life time.
Anyway.. ahem..
I'm not going to go on a tangent, promise.
pfft.. my back foot.
