Member of Parliament, what does that mean to you? A person who was elected in your constituency by the people, to serve them and represents their interests in Parliament? If that truly is your view of our MP’s then it is time you were dragged kicking and screaming from the 1950’s into the new millennium.
The political race to occupy the centre-right and capture the hearts of the typical brainwashed and broken middle Englander and pander to the needs of Global Corporations has left Britain a country devoid of any political diversity. Exacerbated by a voting system that excludes the full political spectrum, politicians are now managers of public life who tinker with the status quo rather than effecting any real change. Political Parties have two goals, the first and by far the most important is to win elections by any means possible while seeming to stay within the law. That means policies and political decisions are often made in a reactionary knee jerk way to the whims of focus groups and not real world events. What colour suit should a politician wear? What accent should they have? Should they smile more, talk slower or look more concerned? To an ambitious politician these questions are as important as monetary and foreign policy. To put it quite simply, if you don’t win the election, you miss the gravy train. Once a Political Party has gained power, they then have one goal left and that is to serve their corporate sponsors as sycophantically and unflinchingly as possible. Do you really think Politicians and the Government are the ultimate power and authority in this country? If the Politicians do a good job at implementing their policies then they will be financially rewarded in the form of directorships and share options.
Ultimately politics in Britain today is nothing but a joke, an elaborate charade to convince the general public that they live in a genuine democracy. With a first-past-the-post two party system sponsored by the same banking and global corporate interests, it doesn’t matter what party you vote for they will get what they want, not what’s best for you and your community. You even have Labour party activists gloating about it. So what can you do about it? In the forthcoming General Election:
DO NOT VOTE
If you do, all you are doing is perpetuating this corrupt covert dictatorship. Throw away your electoral role registration form and get involved with non-violent direct action groups. The only way we can restore a true democracy in Britain is to overthrow the fractional reserve monetary system and move towards a resource based economy, which benefits every citizen rather than a rich ruling elite and raise the standard of living for everyone immeasurably. Monetary based systems such a Fascism, Socialism, Capitalism and Communism should be consigned to the dustbin of history where they belong.
An interesting take on things buddy. But I can’t agree with the NOT VOTING stance. Everytime someone doesnt vote takes us closer to loseing this fundermental right. I personally will always vote even if its percieved as a wasted vote of protest for a smaller party, because a trickle of votes can and will become a flood in time.
I think we are reaching the tipping point where finally the public will wake up and smell the coffee, and realise how there I’m alright so sod everyone else apathy, which is prehaps the devil incarnate Thatcher’s “greatest” legacy. She and her right wing media machine (even more prominant today than in the 1980’s under the evil of Murdoch) brow beat and brainwashed the populace using fear, fear of Communists, socialists, union members,New age Travellers right the way through todays “war on terror” (while still backing terrorist states themselves).
