Is it just me….
or are we about to hear all the old rubbish spurted out by the 3 major political parties on the run to the general election?
Now I know I am on my favourite subject, well at least one of them, but the fact is this…we only have 1 true day of democracy every 5 years when it is General Election time. Why do I say this, well, history will show that despite all the promises made at the time of running for Election, the successful party will do whatever they decide once in power.
There are countless examples of no action and is it any wonder that the UK has a turnout of less than 40%, its a bloody disgrace and the leaders of the 3 parties should hang their heads in shame if that is the best they can do.
Now, this is what I would offer and deliver if I had the financial backing to run for Government.
- Promise the voters that they would have a say on major topics on an on-going basis by the use of national referendum.
- Topics to be decided by this method would be:
- Capital Punishment
- Euro or not
- increased investment in Pensions, National Health and Education
- Involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq
What I hear you say, a Political Party is going to ask “us” what we would like to be the direction of the Government, and act on the findings of the majority? Yeah, I know it’s my dream, but that is how it should be, not what we currently have, 3 sets of complete Muppet’s.
The expenses scandal showed exactly what they are in politics for THEMSELVES and nobody else.
Or is it just me?
