This has been annoying me so much lately.
I want a political party that will go away and get out of my face, let innovation prosper and cut down on this nanny state we have. That party is meant to be the Conservatives in the UK.
Is it really so much to ask that political parties at least remotely align themselves with the vague concepts their parties exist around.
I really think removing representation is the only solution anymore, we rapidly approach the point where we shouldn’t need people who pretend to associate with our interests dealing with them as a professional capacity. We don’t use horses and birds to carry messages anymore and the Scottish Referendum proved if nothing else that asking the populace to make their own decisions can work, not to mention that was without even beginning to leverage the massive asset that the internet and other modern technology could be to the democratic process. So what’s the point of the Commons?
I’m definitely being a bit idealistic with that but I really hope things start moving in that direction rapidly. Between the basically fake democracy of the US and UK that has lead to our terrible voter turnouts, corruption and complete lack of control of the country and the more modern systems of some european countries that just leave everything as a bureaucratic mess that can’t sort out its paperwork and red tape in time to do anything - the democratic process needs a severe overhaul in coming years.
For reference I voted tory last election and with the information I had at the time I’m happy with the choice.
I will not be voting in the next election if things stay the same.
I can’t vote Tory with Cameron’s clear dedication to crushing free speech.
I can’t vote Labour because their leader is like a piece of damp bog-roll - I would rather have someone who I totally disagree with running the country than an unrepentant puppet who seems to literally ooze incompetence.
Lib Dem’s - yea not even going to start there. I didn’t have time for them even before they sold out everything they stand for.
I can’t vote green because a commitment to nuclear power is very important to me, the work the chinese have managed to do on nuclear power with their thorium salt research while we have been messing around with eco friendliness is absolutely stellar and solves almost all objections to nuclear power.
I can’t vote UKIP because curling up into a ball and using protectionism to try maintain our high living standards and disproportionate power and wealth is just absolutely moronic. We didn’t get these things by trying to build big walls between ourselves and the world and we won’t keep them with that attitude. It’s hardly a new concept and over the thousands of years of human civilisation its consistently been proven a stupid approach.
At least I don’t live in the US that systems not even close to the rails anymore.
Meh rant done
