The Lessons from Wythenshawe and Sale East

When we study the results of our most recent By-Election one thing becomes very clear.  The real winner was 'None-of-the Above' because 72% of the electorate stayed at home.  This is actually a shocking indictment on our politicians because the verdict on them is that they are not worthy of our time.

It also means that yet another Labour politician has joined the long list of people living off the public purse even though only about 15% of the electorate voted for him.  I have written about this before because how low does the turnout have to fall before the result is declared null and void.

The answer to that is, 'it won't happen' because most of our current politicians have no shame.  In particular low turnouts are advantageous to the main parties who can still rely on postal votes and activists to get some of the people to the polling stations.  The 'doubters', the people who could change all of this, still believe that, by not voting, they are registering a protest.

It is not working and it will never work.  To protest one has to vote against the system which is strangling and destroying the identity of this country.  It is the only peaceful weapon that the public has left.  We must sweep them from power which means electing sufficient 'independent' politicians to get us out of the EU and bring back power to the people.

If we cannot convince sufficient people by 2015 to vote AGAINST a corruption which is becoming endemic in politics then we will get what we deserve.  The apathetic and ignorant masses most of whom have been educated by the mainstream news media to accept a facade of so-called respectability cannot be bothered to seek the truth. 

They are by and large content to sit at home and believe the tissue of lies spewing from their television sets and from the pages of their newspapers.  It is only when tragedy strikes that the real aims of our political class will emerge.  Everyone accepts that the recent rains have been exceptional but the flooding has been assisted by government malevolence.  The folly of ceasing to dredge the rivers and clear the drains has come home to roost.  It was always more important to send cheques to African despots!

Are the Gloves Coming Off?

The By-Election at Wythenhurst and Sale East is hotting up.  This is normally a safe Labour seat and has been so in modern history but it would appear that UKIP are beginning to call a spade a shovel! 

Sooner or later, even the most intractable of the Labour supporting public has to realise that they are being taken for a ride by the multi-millionaires from Islington.  Once the deck of cards comes tumbling down then UKIP are waiting to fill the void.

The next year or so could be very interesting if UKIP can get enough people onto the streets to take the message to the public.  I will watch with interest at how low and dirty the BBC, the rest of the controlled media and the Westmonster politicians will stoop to in order to hold onto power.  It will be bare knuckle that is for sure.

Compulsory Voting?

The recent turnouts in both local elections and by elections have highlighted the apathy of the British people towards their mainstream politicians.  This has resulted in some local councillors being elected onto local councils with only 10% of the support of their constituents.

Even some national politicians have been returned to Westmonster with under 20% approval.  It is ridiculous so something has to change.  My wife believes that compulsory voting is the answer and recently a couple of the regular contributors to this blog have suggested the same course of action.

In Australia voting is compulsory so it is possible.  It would possibly force some of the young to investigate who their candidates are and what they stand for.  The emergence of UKIP has brought back some interest in politics because we now have a genuine opposition to LABLIBCON who all sing from the same hymn sheet and then pretend major differences on minor issues.

It always amuses me when Ed Miliband jumps up and down about tax breaks for the rich when he is the very person enjoying them! It is also refreshing to see the leader of a political party Nigel Farage) answering  questions directly and not hiding behind a plethora of platitudes.

I still believe that we should not elect a politician until he/she has secured a major percentage of support from the electorate (30%,40%,50%?).  The concept being that if the electorate cannot be bothered to turn out then they forfeit representation. That should then force the politicians to get the vote out.  In our recent local elections the publicity was limited to leaflet dropping.

If our mainstream politicians really thought that the public were worthy of consideration they would tighten up the system, particularly postal voting involving immigrant communities, where electoral fraud has already been uncovered.

If we are to engage the young in politics then they must be targeted through the medium that attracts them (thanks for the idea SAB). The traditional evasive politics practiced by the mainstream politicians has switched off or even disgusted generations of the public. So perhaps compulsory voting is the only way forward!

Eastleigh By-Election

Not long to go now before the good citizens of Eastleigh get the latest opportunity to show an independence of spirit and snub the mainstream Political Class.  Let's face it if you want a continuation of the domination by the Banking Class, if you want politicians to ignore the collapsing economy or if you want a future where your children cannot find a job then just vote Con/Lab/Lib because there is not any difference between them. They may argue semantics but when push comes down to shove they all pay homage to the EU.

That is not the only issue so let us examine the facts. They all support the war in Afghanistan, they all support the burgeoning Welfare State, they all agree on Foreign Aid, they all want a continuation of immigration, they all continually overspend, they all want gun control and they all ignore Magna Carta. In addition they love gagging orders and love to bury the facts of any embarrassing incident that the mainstream media cannot cover up.

They will even support the head of the NHS even though there is damning evidence that his policies have led to an astounding level of neglect in some of our hospitals. There can be no excuse for him not resigning and yet our PM supports him. This is a level of insanity that I cannot even contemplate!

So good citizens of Eastleigh the facts are there before you. YOU have an opportunity to make a difference.  You can begin a rebellion against the very people who are causing us misery. I believe that if UKIP get one candidate into Westmonster others will follow because the timid electorate who are force fed garbage through the media may just realise that voting UKIP is not a wasted vote it is actually the only vote that will really count!

MP's Expenses

You would have thought that, after some of them were jailed, the members of the House of Commons would have some prudence where their expenses were concerned. You would think that they would have some contrition, some awareness of public opinion and some respect for the public purse. 

Well, if you thought that then you were wrong. The arrogance and the culture of Westmonster means that they have helped themselves to even more of our money. Even the Guardian, whose views I often find 'interesting' has highlighted their profligacy.

Do you remember how scandalised we were when their greed was discovered and exposed by the Daily Telegraph? Now they have upped their game and are claiming even more! How can 650 MPs claim almost £90 million pounds in expenses? It is grand larceny!

In my opinion it is even more obscene because most of them are not representing their constituents. Their only game is self interest. How can a British MP support a foreign power like the unelected commissioners of the EU? On and on it goes and our Political Class know that they are bombproof because the British public are utterly conditioned to vote for the three main parties (who are actually only one party). Blair corrupted Labour, Clegg corrupted the LibDems and Cameron has corrupted the Tories.

So, once again, can I suggest to anyone who drifts this way that voting for minority parties is not a wasted vote.  We must seriously get rid of these wasters. The whole system has been corrupted because we are getting socialists standing under the label of 'Conservative'. That means that the local constituency parties have been infiltrated. My own MP (Nicky Morgan) is a prime example.

She votes every time for the Cameron brand. She has been bought and paid for and every bone in her body is corporatocracy. She epitomises the type of MP who constantly rejects the British public for her own personal gain. Her predecessor Andy Reed suffered for his association with the Gordon Brown brand. 

Nobody told the Loughborough public that Nicky Morgan was also a socialist. Nobody mentioned that she would vote at every opportunity for the European Union, for a lack of justice, for an Afghan War, for a discredited Education system... oh I could go on and on and on. 

People of Loughborough we have been deceived. Like the rest of the country we have an MP who sucks on the teet of the public purse. They are all at it and we pay to the tune of £90m quid a year!! Please think about your vote and vote for people who want to represent you and not the Political Class!

Abstaining from Elections

So, it would appear that once again the Great British public have voted to perpetuate the political scandal that we accept as democracy in this country. Once again the sheeple have paraded as required and voted for the main parties who are now able to continue dipping into the public purse at will.

At least on the surface that is the picture but if you delve deeper than the headlines that the BBC splurged this morning...'Victory for Labour'... then a different picture emerges. Early indications are that over two thirds of the public ignored the local elections. Personally I don't believe that these results reflect the mood of the country.

Most people are now so disillusioned with the conduct of the politicians on every side that they cannot see the point of voting. Unfortunately that gives the politicians, yet again, a mandate to serve you with more of the same. It would not matter if only three people voted in a city of two million because when two of them vote for the same party victory is assured. There is no minimum requirement, no quorum rule and no regulation which demands that an election is declared null en void because the people are fed up.

The lesson has to be learned that if you want real change to happen in this country; if you want politicians who will listen to the people then you must vote AGAINST the mainstream parties. If you want to stop the senseless spending of political parties who are unable to balance the books because of their criminally stupid political commitments then you will have to get off your backsides and vote them out!

Opting out, spoiling ballot papers and sticking your head in the sand will not get rid of them because you can almost guarantee that the only people left who continue to vote for the system actually work within it! Anyone who votes for a party that produced, Blair, Mandelson, Prescott, Gordon Brown, the Milibands, Ed Balls, Jacqui Smith, etc, etc can only have one motive and that has to be financial. Decency and democracy have long since disappeared from this poltical class.  We see it daily at the succession of public inquiries which uncover their rottenness. You will have to bite the bullet and vote them out!

The Lord Mayor of London

Tonight on Newsnight two clowns clashed! What a pair of total prats! These are the two people actually standing for the prestigious position of Lord Mayor of London and they have been allowed by the BBC to dominate the debate on the forthcoming election.


If this is what politics has become frankly we need a change. They are just scoring petty political points from each other. Neither cares a jot for the 'Londoner' they believe that they are already just a single issue. It is just Boris against Ken...nobody else matters. You Londoners do not have a choice between the clowns. It is just Boris against Ken with a little distraction from Brian Paddock, a sometime Liberal gay policeman who believes that he matters. 


You 'Londoners' however also have an opportunity to follow up from Bradford West. You also have candidates from UKIP, the Greens, the BNP and an Independent. You 'Londoners' could  send a message to the western world. You  could overturn the political platform. You may only have this one opportunity to tell Boris and Ken that their day of duplicity is done.  


This is a REAL opportunity for the electorate to send a message to the Political Class. Once again I beseech you to ignore Ken/Boris/Brian and cast your vote elsewhere. They are all self obsessed twats. Please protest when the day arises. Look at the policies (or lack of them) and make your choice BUT please do not forget that all the mainstream parties have consistently lied to you.


We must make this election count. You must acknowledge that these two clowns will always lie to you. They are abject mainstream politicians who care not for you and they have been allowed to dominate the BBC engineered debate. It beggars belief but the population of London largely mirrors that of Bradford.


The candidates are purely a joke!  Unfortunately there is not a George Galloway standing in London.

They still don't get it!

'Geeky Toff'

One would think that after the hammering that the Labour Party got in Bradford West at the hands of George Galloway last week that at least one of them would understand what happened? Listening to Ed Miliband today it is clear that he still doesn't get the message. 


I strongly hope that, at long last, the British electorate have learned from the last election that we have been duped. Having almost been economically destroyed by 13 years of Labour, the nation once again, gave the Conservative Party an opportunity to make amends and they have blown it. They have reneged on so many election pledges that the bond has been broken. 


The public are sick of listening to geeky toffs like Ed Miliband thinking that we will still believe their baloney. Once again he stood up blamed everything on the other party and yet still did not present one concrete proposal. He has decreed that the Labour Party will now concentrate on Crime and anti social behaviour. They had 13 years to sort this out when they were in government and it got worse. 


He still fails to give any detail on how he would tackle it. Would he build more prisons? Would he toughen the prison regime? Would he encourage longer sentences? Would he appoint judges with one foot in the real world? Not one concrete proposal and he thinks that we have not heard it all before. He is insulting the electorate and he will pay a high price. I think he is dead man walking but the alternative is yet another 'geeky toff' with no concrete policies.


These upcoming local elections are important. We could if we are shrewd break the stranglehold that the main parties have on the town halls across the country. All we need to do is copy Bradford and vote for the minority parties or the independents. If we don't get the choice then we don't vote but if somebody is willing to stand for election against the Political Class then we should get behind them. 


This Political Class is so arrogant that they believe they will continue their deceit forever. They are still claiming unreasonable expenses, they still jolly on their fact finding missions in exotic resorts and they still award themselves long holidays. It must cease!

Unbelieveable!

I have been posting for some time now that our politicians, or at least a faction of them, want to turn this country into another version of East Germany. We have always said that it could not happen but this Coalition cabinet under a 'Conservative' Prime Minister are proposing to pass a law giving them access to our private E-Mails. It is ludicrous! As ever they do everything under the pretence of the security of the country.


These politicians have imported terrorism, they have imported Mafia style killings, they have imported 'grooming' and more than anything else they have imported a sex trafficking trade. The visitors to our capital city during the Olympics could be confronted with every perverted industry imaginable. London is the pits!


So now we face intrusion into every aspect of our lives and it will be legal. What are these politicians on? Why do they need this type of control? We all know the threat and it is not white and Christian. Absolutely no way should we allow them to introduce further restrictions to our freedom? 


When NoLab wanted to do this the then Conservative party refused to consider it. It would now appear that we do not have a 'Conservative' party. A lot of people are beginning to realise that but not as many people who have realised that conversely we do not have a 'Labour' party.  I do not like George Galloway because I don't trust him but then the performance of UKIP is really not up to par. They only have Nigel Farage which is not enough. I am too old to be a candidate but I am not too old to plot a revolution.   






  

Bribery, Corruption....call it what you want!

This morning the 'Treasurer' of the Conservative party has had to resign following disclosures by the Sunday Times (News International) that he had been selling access to the Prime Minister for £250,000. Interested businessmen would get their 'concerns' put before the Policy Committee and would gain a photograph with the PM.

What I do not understand is why this should cause such an uproar? All of our main political parties have been selling access to power and influence for as long as politics has existed. The system of 'lobbying' is well known and scandalously corrupt but nobody has bothered to curb it because it has become a cottage industry. This is the way that they make their money.

I am just amazed that the British people, the so called electorate, continue to be bamboozled by the Political Class. They continue to absorb all the corruption and the lies and then, come the time, they dutifully stroll down to the local polling station and vote for it to continue!

Today comes the news that the Labour Party has an 8% lead in the opinion polls! What? Has nobody yet realised that this crowd not only ruined the culture of the country but almost ruined our economy. I say 'almost' but it has yet to be proven that they didn't because we are just printing money to stave off the inevitable.

So for the umpteenth time let me implore anyone reading this post to stop perpetuating the roller coaster. They have all had their chance and all of them have been proven corrupt and inefficient. They lie all the time! So let's start with the upcoming Bradford West by-election. Please give them a kicking by showing the Con/Dem/Libs that we have had enough of them. The option is yours because you can either vote for a minority party or don't vote at all. We can do it, it is in our hands but do we really care enough?

If you need any encouragement you can find it here.

Is this really Democracy in the 21st century?

Seema Malhotra may be a very nice young lady. She has just won the Feltham and Heston By Election so she is our latest MP and she represents the Labour Party. I cannot understand how over 12000 people could cast a vote for a party which, led by someone like Ed Miliband, spent 13 years trying to destroy this country. 

I suspect that many who cast their vote for Ms Malhotra probably were not born in this country because for some unknown reason they do seem to favour the Labour party. That however is not my beef as it was bound to happen sooner or later.

My cause for concern is the low turnout. The Political Class has managed to alienate a vast swathe of the population to such an extent that far less than one third of the electorate bothered to vote. Of those that did vote about 50% voted for Ms Malhotra which means that at best 15% of the constituents cast a vote for her.

This is ridiculous! Are we really at the stage where an MP can be elected by 15% of the constituency? The major political parties have switched the public off. They monopolise elections because it costs so much to campaign for parliament. Only the big battalions can cover the ground necessary to influence opinion. The thinking public have realised that it matters not a jot where they cast their votes because  we just get more of the same.

How low will the turnout have to get before someone says 'this is not democracy'?  Do we need compulsory voting? Wherever the answer lies it is clear that this turnout is a national humiliation for the politicians.

Proportional Representation

This is a huge project that I am engaged in and it is not easy. The reason that I am doing it is that I want to demonstrate that a democratic electoral system is quite difficult. I like the concept of AV but frankly it is not viable unless you make voting compulsory like the Australians do. If you don't insist on that it will be very difficult to reach the 50% .

If we abandon the first past the post system then we risk the hideous proposal that the LibDems will forever be involved in Coalition politics. I believe that the only way to take the country forward is for the EU sceptics to forget self interest and bond together to defeat Europe. It is little use to belong to a Conservative party when they are not conservatives. We desperately need a Nationalist presence in this country.

Nationalism in the UK has become a dirty word and it should not be. There is no harm in supporting the indigenous population and it will inevitably include people who were not born here, who came to this country for a better life and who want, not to be British, but to follow the traditional British way of life...you know... democracy!

It is beginning to become a forgotten concept in this country. Some of us belong to this country. It is our home, we don't want to go anywhere else, all our friends are here and we don't want to change our way of life. I have nothing against any Muslim (or any other religion) but I don't want to change my way of life. If I did I would go and live in another land.

It is becoming a straight fight folks and you must make your mind up. You either support the EU or you support  the UK. It is time to take sides... there is no middle! 

Alternate Vote (AV) v First Passed the Post (FPtP)

I don't know about anybody else but I can't make my mind up about the great British vote fight. I suspected that I was not being given all the facts so I decided to try a little research. When I was young there was no thought about AV because all the talk was about Proportional Representation (PR). Basically from what I can remember seats in Westmonster would be allocated on the percentage of the vote cast for each party.

So I did some basic and admittedly crude calculations based on a parliament comprising 650 members. I looked up the results of the 2010 election and calculated what the make up of our parliament would be if we had allocated seats according by PR instead of FPtP.

Here are the results:-

Party                        Current Seats         No of Votes    PR Result

1. Conservative             307             10,726,614            234
2. Labour                      258               8,609,527           188
3. Lib Dem                      57               6,836,824           150
4. UKIP                            0                919,546              20    
5. BNP                             0                564,331              12
6. SNP                              6                491,386             11
7. Green                            1                285,616              7
8. Sinn Fein                       5                171,942              4
9. DUP                              8                168,216              4
10. Plaid                              3                165,394              4
11. SDLP                            1                110,970              3
12. Ulster Unionists              1                102,361             2
13. English Dems                  0                 64, 826            1
14. Others (added together)   2               480,000            11 (approx figures)

So as usual the electorate are being stitched up by the Political Class. The only truly democratic system that would give everyone representation is being ignored. At one time it was the cornerstone of every LibDem manifesto and when you see the difference it would make for them one can understand why. Now however, Mr Clegg has had a sniff of power and there is no way that the Tories at Westmonster would agree to PR. We cannot have the electorate being properly represented can we?

Look at the figures in detail....over one and a half MILLION voters put a cross beside UKIP, BNP or English Democrat and didn't get a single seat! Nearly 300,000 voted Green and got Caroline Lucas (one seat). In fact 2.4 MILLION people voted and got Caroline Lucas and one Independent MP. Thie means that 8.75% of the population effectively became disenfranchised under FPtP.

They are even scared that AV may leave a chink open for a right wing 'extremist' (you know someone who doesn't want the EU or mass immigration) but of course Nick Clegg had to half heartedly campaign for a change in the voting system or he would have reneged on everything that he ever stood for before Cameron gave him a key to No 10.

So we have been allowed AV which doesn't begin to address the real problems of our undemocratic voting system. It will be confusing and I believe it could also be corrupted because once people start counting second, third and fourth choices anything can happen.

I don't want either so I won't bother.  What's the point?

When is an election declared null en void?

The result of the Barnsley by election is being trumpeted by the BBC and the mainstream media as a Labour victory. Once again the people who rely on the state for their jobs have united behind the socialist candidate. Most of the media however omit one very important fact...only 36.5% of the electorate bothered to vote! 
Now what does this say about the state of our politics? OK the previous Labour candidate representing Barnsley is now in prison and the Lib Dems reneged on their national election policies by joining the Tories in power. In Barnsley it is almost akin to child rape to vote Tory so frankly we are beginning to run out of credible alternatives.

It would appear that the Labour party, once again, is happy to accept that they won this seat even though only about 20% of the electorate actually voted for them. It is ridiculous! Clearly the people of Barnsley don't really merit an MP. There surely has to be a limit to the depths to which the Political Class will stoop to maintain their corrupt grip on power.

Should we make voting compulsory? I don't like that idea but neither do I like the idea that none of the parties portray honesty. Only the BNP actually have an open agenda on the policies that the vast majority of the public actually want and they are tainted by other issues.  In addition they are continually being smeared by the MSM so that they are currently unelectable.

So the final word has to be that unless more than say 50% of the public vote then the election is declared null en void and that constituency forfeits its right to representation in parliament. It might force people to take an interest in politics but it does make me wonder just how many constituencies would actually forfeit their electoral rights? That could be a subject for further study because I just have a strange feeling that our Political Class are existing on a lie. The people are so disengaged from politics that none of them are wanted!

How do the Pollsters Operate?

I have never understood how the pollsters actually operate. We have seen interview after interview on the News programmes where so many people still admit that they don't know even at this late stage how they will vote on Thursday. Thursday is only two days away and yet the pollsters have been declaring their wisdom for weeks now.

So very many people are still deciding to take a punt but the 'Others' column in most polls remains at a miserable 10%. We have a huge population disillusioned by mainstream politics and yet only 10% confess that they will vote for a fringe party.

It is possibly just wishful thinking but just supposing that the great British public are to put it bluntly a lot more pissed off than the Political Class realise. Just think if thousands are still deciding not to vote for the Cameron/Clegg/Brown Europhile bandwagon but are keeping their powder dry until they actually vote.

What if the pollsters are wrong? What if there is a huge public backlash to their arrogance? As this election build up continues in its boring meandering way we are treated like idiots. The namecalling, the Punch and Judy tit for tat backbiting continues as it always has done. The only difference is that Nick Clegg has joined in but he is now acting just like the other two.

Have you noticed how UKIP, The English Democrats, The Democratic Alliance, the BNP and any other anti EU party have been ignored just as if they don't exist. But inconveniently for the Westmonster Three they do exist and they provide an alternative to the mainstream politics which frankly have ruined this country.

I have a dream! I dream that we kick the big three into touch and get a parliament that we deserve. It will probably remain a dream but we can all hope. We need change but it will never be provided by the Westmonster parties because they have too much to lose.

Postal Voting increases corruption!

Not so long ago I blogged that the increase in postal voting would tempt those engaged in vote rigging to widen their horizons. Now comes news that In Tower Hamlets in particular there has been a huge last minute increase in Bangladeshi postal voters! How the hell these people have been allowed a vote in a British election escapes me but it is no coincidence that they are almost all from Bangladesh and they all vote Labour!

Reporters attempting to follow up leads have discovered that only a fraction of those registered live in the properties that they are registered to and one reporter was even beaten up for his troubles. What on earth the Electoral Commission is doing allowing this state of affairs? It is clear that the election in Tower Hamlets should be suspended until the register of postal voters is scrutinised. If evidence of corruption is uncovered then all concerned should face legal proceedings and that includes party agents.

I strongly suspect that the NoLab inspired increase in postal voting was introduced for only one reason and that was to give tham an edge. Wherever there has been a last minute increase in these postal votes then the register must be inspected. The NoLab leadership are becoming increasingly desperate to find a way back into power and I personally don't put anything past them. I suspect that this may become a huge issue before all the results have been counted.

Three days to go...who do I vote for?

I never ever thought that I would have this problem. I am very clear that I want us out of Europe which is my most sincere thought but hold on it is probably more important to get rid of Gordon Brown. Ideally I would like a party which would give me the choice but the ones that do have little chance of making a serious dent in the stranglehold that the Westmonster parties seem to have on the electorate.

The electorate in this country have been conditioned that only the three main parties matter. This conditioning comes by way of the mainstream media owned by billionaires who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. If smaller or more radical parties emerge then they are savaged by the media or more importantly starved of publicity. Take the BNP they are slaughtered at every turn particularly by the BBC to such an extent that the public rarely get to hear what they actually stand for. It is only when one stops to read their election leaflets that I personally discovered that they want the same as I do!

The BNP are actually the only party hell bent on trying to assist the most vulnerable of our society. They actually want to put British people first and stop the immigration bonanza. They are of course immediately labelled bigots and racists exactly in the same way that Gordon Brown labelled Gillian Duffy a bigot when she questioned the rise in immigration.

UKIP also want to remove us from the EU but I still think that they are a one trick pony. They do however have a better chance of gathering floating voters in most constituencies than the BNP who will probably only threaten the big three in areas which have suffered the most because of mass immigration.

My most desperate wish is to see the end of Gordon Brown and his rabid cabinet and I suppose only the Tories can realistically achieve that but I could not bring myself to vote Conservative because I remember how desperate we were to see the end of them the last time.

I also remember how nearly every MP in the three Westmonster parties took advantage of the expenses scandal and I must admit I vowed then never to vote for any of them again. So I must stick to my guns and leave the fate of Gordon Brown to the common sense of the electorate (I even hear that the good people of Kirkcaldy are not pleased with him as he continually takes them for granted).

So that has to be that...I will now have to see if any of our fringe candidates have a local connection or like many of the big three have been hoist onto local constituency parties by the Westmonster crowd because somebody owes somebody a favour. You see this is the type of politics that I hate.

I wonder just how many of the floating voters are wrestling with the same problem? Do we get rid of Brown or do we follow our conscience? Three days to go and still not sure!

Rhetoric, rhetoric and more rhetoric!

I see that we Loughborough people are probably going to see more politicians than most as we have been deemed a key marginal; one of the seats that the Tories have to win. I do hope that this means that we will have a meaningful choice of candidate.

They began today waffle, waffle, waffle! Gawd how many more weeks of empty meaningless promises? When will one of them tell the electorate what they actually intend to do? When will they address the problems of the money that we shovel into the EU day after day? When will someone sort out the immigration mess and heave the Eastern European squatters who are slaughtering the swans out of the country? When will we actually see the police on the streets instead of flooding our screens with lies?

The lack of any meaningful policy is underlined because while we are in the EU we are not in control of our future. Gorgon Brown signed it away and David Cameron and Nick Clegg agreed that he should. I still cannot believe that they have sold their own country down the river and now want us to vote for them!

The pity is that so many people cannot see further than the end of their noses. Blog after blog is advocating a different approach to this election and yet the public have been force fed for so many years that we only have three viable parties. It is rubbish because yes, there are three main parties in Westmonster but we have seen them all in action. They have been corrupted and the system needs tearing down and rebuilding.

The current batch of MPs cannot rid themselves of the stench of corruption and the public know it. Yet they still think that they are duty bound to vote for them and unfortunately they don't have the interest, intelligence or knowledge to think about it. Most people don't know what a manifesto is heaven forbid that they should study one and then compare it against what has been delivered.

Unless we can get the public animated and interested then our country will continue to slide down the world league table and eventually adopt the Euro with our tail between our legs. Even I could not wreck the economy in the way that Brown/Darling have done and even I have got more ideas on how to repair the damage than Cameron.

Perhaps I had better get out the ear plugs for the next 6 weeks or so because if I don't I might go insane

So who do we vote for...?

It is a sign of the times when the ordinary man in the street does not have representation in Parliament. In about five months we will have a General Election but what does it mean? Who do we vote for? There is not the width of a cigarette paper between NoLab who have ignored their traditional vote and the Tories who also ignore their traditional supporters! We therefore have three Westmonster parties who are all actually LIbDems!

I support a blog called the Daily Mash and the administrator has a wonderful and quirky sense of humour. For example he reckons that Pat Hewitt and Geoff Hoon have ruined the election chances of Labour by reminding people that Gordon Brown is still Prime Minister! He also reckons that if the Tories win the next election then they will retain Gordon Brown as PM because their policies are actually the same.

Westmonster is in a sad state and it will not improve if you vote for any of the chancers who currently occupy the benches. I see that Guido has started a Facebook group campaigning to keep Gordon in situ. He wants him to feel the pain of electoral humiliation!

I am still unsure of that because too many of the traditional supporters are brain dead. Many others depend on NoLab for their jobs. They have created an enormous public sector and these poeple will vote for their futures. What can the Tories answer with? We are the opposition and so it is our natural inheritance to succeed a failing party.

The problem is that they failed the country and many of us have never forgotten how badly they failed us. I would never ever again vote Conservative and I would never ever again vote Labour. What really is the point of voting LibDem?

We need radical, independent, candidates but our political system is so biased towards the main parties, who in return are ruled by wealthy individuals, that frankly any review of our political system is unlikely. So who do we support?

Who do the people that want a total change of direction vote for? There is no option so we have to find a way to rebel against this unfair political system. Do we vote, how do we vote what can we do ....any suggestions?

Catherine Ashton

Well I first told people about Catherine Ashton in June of last year. She was the person NoLab nominated to be 'our' representative in Europe after 'Mandy' returned home to prop up Gordon. I said then that she had slithered up the political pole without any person ever having voted for her.

Now she is probably our most influential politician and yet in accordance with the EU's democratic principle and NoLab's democratic principle she has NEVER faced the electorate. Her appointment is singularly the most undemocratic appointment in the history of western democracy. We complain about Afghanistan and Mohammed Karsai being appointed the President but his election has nothing on this charade.

We are being stitched up! Democracy is being lost in every pore of the EU. They care for nothing apart from power and somehow the British public have been so dumbed down that they cannot see what is happening to them.

Eventually we may get an election but don't expect it to be fair and honest. This government have probably already planned for the postal votes from the immigrant community to be 'doctored' so that they seriously contest many seats that they expected to lose. I seriously feel that we must all be on our toes.
