Well everyone seems to be talking about the state of British politics and whether we should even have a parliament, and also everyone seems to be moaning to everyone else about the state of the country, if not the whole entire world, and how they would go about making it better. Well, surprisingly that is now what I am about to do, but without such a biased view - hopefully.
Today is Election Day, well the European and Local elections, where Labour are not exactly set to have record breaking success. Also, as usual, everyone gets into heated discussions about which party they will vote for, and other discussion along those lines. People sharing their opinion of who is to blame for the state of country this year, but I think the general consensus seems to be its Labour's fault.
Is there anything that doesn't result in David Cameron calling for a general election? Rhetorical question that, but he does seem to have said that every week for the past few years, mainly because he is at the top of the polls, showing that he would win, and the Conservatives would again lead us and put the reign of terror from Gordon and the Labour party at an end. However everyone is very against him and Labour for reasons I don't quite understand. Everyone's view is that we didn't vote for Gordon Brown to be leader, but the truth is you vote for the party, not the leader. That's the way British politics works, and that's why he is leader without us having voted for him. Another reason is that he is being blamed for things that aren't his fault, which he has tried his best to fix. This money scandal thing, is being blamed on him, and yet he must be the only one in the Houses of Parliament who hasn't swindled the money of country for his own personal gain, and now this coup business is all very hypocritical because some of the people wanting him out are actually ones who charged the tax payer to feed their cat in their second home.
So yes, the turmoil in The Houses of Parliament, which seems to be the catalysts for a lot of these discussions which are about the state of our country; the economic downturn for example or maybe the Government’s handling of Swine Flu or the current money scandal. People paying taxes for the politicians to spend it on duck islands, and cat food and fancy wood work for the outside of houses and hanging baskets and light bulbs; it's almost as if we've never heard of people taking advantage of their position, who'd have thought such a thing could happen. Honestly - this has been going on for years. Does secretaries stealing pens and mechanics fixing their own cars without all the heavy breathing sound familiar to you? If I'm honest, I don't think people actually appreciate how much hard work it can be for an MP, but they do say ignorance is bliss.
Another 'brilliant idea' is this new car initiative where you can trade in your old car which is 10 years or older for a new one with £2000 taken off the price is all to help the economy and reeve up the car industry, however they haven't exactly thought this through. The car industry isn't just dependant on the manufacture of new cars. It includes garages and the manufacture of spare parts. With less older cars, there will be less going wrong, which will mean the need for spares will decrease, as will the need for garages to fit the said spares, resulting in small business going bust. Plus the Government have to find £2000 for every person who participates in this. One big viscous circle they have found themselves in I think.
Joanna Lumley has defeated the labour party a few times recently, over this Ghurkha business and suddenly everyone thinks she should be Prime Minister, as if it was that simple. Did St. George become Prime Minister when he defeated the dragon? No, I don't believe he did, he just had a day named after him. If everyone became Prime Minister after achieving something we'd have had Jade Goody in number 10 and we would currently be under leadership of the dance group Diversity.
But back onto the politics, and let’s think about the prospect of Gordon Brown being the first Prime Minister to be dumped by e-mail shall we. Assuming they do succeed and we have a new PM by mid July, it really isn't going to go well with the public. As much as everyone seems to hate him, a new Prime Minister wouldn't be tolerated, as voters are already angry about having an unelected PM, so having another would be a disaster for the Labour party, who aren't exactly popular as it is.
Another effect of this coup, should it occur, is that there would be a great deal of pressure for an October election, and it wouldn't end happily for Labour, as they would lose a lot more seats. According to YouGov surveys yesterday, today's election results should leave them third, behind the Conservative party and UKIP, who seem to be increasing in popularity, because of the increasing racism Britain seems to be going through.
Now I face dilemma, do I carry on writing about my opinion of all this gibberish, which I could quite easily and quite happily do, or do I let you nice people go and get some sleep or get back to doing something more useful? I think I shall go for the latter.
So , Toodles m’dearys
