So who can we vote for this coming Thursday? The Tories? These are the jokers er... the party that closed down our industry and production, wasted our natural gas and made us dependent on the Russians, and paved the way for the Privitisation of the NHS and everything else not nailed down, and who allowed the banks to get away with all the cash as we now know to our collective and individual cost.
Or maybe you would prefer New Labour in which Tony B Liar smiled and waved and lied and wore Thatchers Knickers as he licked W Bushes bottom and persueded Thatchers policies even further to the right than she did. Despite all the talk of democrasy and even electoral reform in the run up to the 97 election, all this was dropped once Blair had his huge landslide and just like the Thatcher regime, then proceeded to persue arrogant and high handed repressive and undemocratic policies. He Kicked the enemployed, single parents, the disabled: Made the council tax even worse and even buggered it for small businesses via business rates and Health and Safety. Even the old right wing warhorse Winston Churchill abandoned ID cards once the war was over but not B Liar of course for whom the War is never over. New Labour was and is a party of hipocrites and charlatans, greasing their palms and trousering the cash: paranoid and crooked to such an extent that they think everyone else is as bent and dishonest as they are and therefore desirous of more CCTV cams, Biometicr passports, Finger printing of kids, and ID cards you must carry if you are just taking the dog for a walk. Their crowning achievements probably the overturning of Magna Carta and the rendering of the Labour Party as Unelectable for ever and ever Amen. Traitors to those who backed them through thick and thin and traitors to the traditional Labour Party who misguidedly thought the new intake of candidates were supporters when in fact they proved to be Neocons. No, I dont think I can vote for them either.
Of course there is always UKIP and as a man who voted NO in the original referendum on entry into Europe I might be expected to give them a chance, but they are a single issue party with a single mouth piece and anyway, I could not trust them to organise a piss up in a brewery even if I took my own glasses. Despite their big talk about reforming Europe and taking us out, some of their number when given the opportunity merely signed up to the EC gravy train. This leaves only the Real Socialists for whom I do have some sympathy. but in an era when all the newspapers are at leaste a couple of steps to the right of Atilla the Hun and the vast majority of people no longer know the difference between Socialism and Communism they don't really stand a chance. A pity really, imagine the fun we could have with Arthur Scargill in Number 10.
Having looked at all the others, I think I will be voting for the Greens in the Local and European Elections this coming Thursday. We have not had many Green candidates in my part of the world so i will give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not telling lies about abandoning all fluoridation and hope that they keep their expenses claims under a close watch. As I said earlier, we cannot vote for the main parties who still believe in First to the Trough so its got to be whatever reasonable alternatives are available and of the smaller parties, the Greens are the only ones who are not out and out nutcases or thugs and who know what sustainability actually means. Hopefully we can go for some form of Proportianal Representation so that all the smaller parties can elect a few members and have some say in the debates. True it may slow down the enactment of laws in some cases but generally people usually find a way of agreeing if the issue is important enough and i think Slow Government is much preferable to Bad Government and surely we have had more than enough of that since the end of World War 2.

the alternative is simply not tenable. not voting at all merely lets in the biggest twat or nutcase as they are always the most determined. Enough loonies seem to get a seat without any help so we should do what we can to whittle them down.
