So the election is going to be on May 6, 2010 according to the Defence Secretary's slip of the tongue.
I have no choices to make as I can't vote. So, I can simply observe and obey. If I was able to vote, I would have a real problem.
When Blair came to power, there was a genuine "feel good" factor in the country and a welcome change to the politics of sleaze. Only, nobody had experienced sleaze as we would the following twelve years! The country has been let down by Labour spin and has done a great disservice to how the people view politicians. If that wasn't enough already, the expenses scandal brought to light by the Daily Telegraph has further eroded the regard in which politicians are held. The banking crisis, the feeling by native Brits that they have become second class citizens and the disrespect politicians so deserve makes for a grim backdrop to an election which should be so important for the future economic health of the United Kingdom.
The bottom line is that we severely lack a conviction politician. We have very little to choose from. What are the differences between Labour and the Tories? All we have been getting so far from both parties has been short on substance and both are afraid to speak out on the real issues that concern this country. All both want is power. And power corrupts, Mr Blair has proven that. That reminds me that Mr Blair is going in front of the Chilcot enquiry on Friday. Watch him charm his weazel-ish ways through that without any consequence whatsoever. What is the point?
For now, I would suggest that voters should look very carefully at the real alternatives. Both Labour and the Tories don't deserve to win based on what they've been telling us so far. Desperate times require desperate measures.
