Apparently there's an election going on. I can't say I have paid much attention to it. It must have been watching that first 'leaders debate' that did it. I OD'd on indifference to mainstream politics in one sitting and now I am going cold turkey.The whole sorry charade would be funny if it weren't so banal and predictable.
If you don't live in a marginal then feel free not to leave the sofa. Try not to get too mesmerised by Dave's "change" mantra or allow yourself to be drawn in by Gordon's "trust in me". Mustn't forget the other blokes "we're different from them". Of course they are. Convince yourself, if you do vote, that you really are making a difference and that your party, whoever they may be, will make everything alright. Oh, and remember to have your political voice heard in another five years time... (Council elections notwithstanding of course)

You've depressed me now...
Sometimes I read stuff on it, but then afterwards I don't know why I bothered. The fact is that nothing changes by voting. It's the same crap. The puppets change, but the puppeteers are the same.
After a long(y) rethink,I have decided to vote. Better the devil you know than the devil that will make my life harder than it already is. Thats the good thing about Maggie Thatcher. She'll make sure an elephant never forgets.
Has no-one grasped that for the next four years the last thing Labour want is to be in "power" (in the age of trans-national corporate empires I use that word ironically).....the amount of money they "borrowed" to prop up the economy over the last few years has plunged us into an unbelievable amount of debt and organisations like the IMF are soon going to be knocking on our door demanding repayments and given the fact we have no "real" assets like gold left, the country is going to be plunged into a nightmare scenario that will make the twenties and thirties look like a golden age....and now for the weather!
Voting provides a simulation of participation in the "democratic process", nothing more, nothing less, remember kids, "don't vote, it only encourages them!"
I voted for Ringo.
Now it's gonna get interesting.
