Brown Resigns, Cameron Flirts, Clegg Embraces Hypocrisy – A round up of events

(May 10) – Chaos would probably be the word to use when describing what exactly is happening in British politics right now.  After the general election provided no clear winner, resulting in a hung parliament, the discussions to see which parties will join forces has begun and is causing controversy throughout all sides of the argument.

Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, has been courting the Conservative party as potential partners in a coalition government.  Much to the dismay of every person who took the chance, held their bottle and voted for the kind of change Lib Dem proposed, as in actual change, which would have reset the disgusting political system that we have no option but to abide in this Country.

The Liberal Democrat Party joining forces with the Conservative Party is a contradiction, a massive, epic contradiction.  A liberal party has no place working with a conservative party, although I fully understand why Clegg felt he has to discuss it with Cameron and his Tories. 

In the interest of democracy, Clegg entered into talks with Cameron because the British, sorry English public spoke and the majority of votes went to the Conservative Party.  The Scots showed the Conservatives that there is to be no forgetting what that despicable party, led by the most villainous old hag Thatcher did to this country. The Scots will not mourn her, when she finally goes her passing will no doubt be toasted.  It may seem harsh, but as harsh as it may be, if you are Scottish you will completely understand.

A Conservative Government would have no interest in Scotland, particularly when led by someone as clueless as David Cameron.  A Lib-Dem/Tory coalition would do Scotland no good, while many Tory voters south of the border cry about Gordon Brown still being in Downing Street, apparently the Tory voters would rather have no leader while the rest of the parties try to woo each other. 

Therefore, it would appear that it isn’t just the Tory leader that is a clueless idiot, but also the Tory voters who are childish and completely uninformed.  Forgetting, it seems that the rules by which they live and work suggest that since no one actually won the election, the current situation in Downing Street is the right way to play things. 

I understand that Tories the length and breadth of the country are aching for Cameron to take office and begin his campaign to make the rich richer, and the poor well, one can only guess what their fate will be unless, Cameron does the unthinkable, and actually attempts to help the poor, a most neoconservative idea.  Do not worry rich folk; there is no chance of the Conservatives doing anything that will put your precious money at risk, certainly not to help any less lucky fellow humans at least.

Not that Labour are in anyway different to the Conservatives, they are the same thing, which is why I find it so amusing that people would be getting worked up about which party takes the job.  I detest David Cameron sure, but it is because he is utterly vacant and devoid of any kind of sense and I feel that common sense dictates that I should be wary of him as a leader. 

On the flipside, I do not mind Brown as much.  He has made some gargantuan mistakes, and as such does not deserve to keep his job.  Nevertheless, he has admitted that by announcing his resignation today.  This, however, will not take effect before the talks of coalition have been resolved.  The worry I have is who will replace him.  One of the creepy Millibands, or that little weasel of a man Jack Straw.  I am 100% against both big parties, and if Nick Clegg humiliates every man and woman who had the guts to vote for his party by siding with the Conservatives, then I am against his party too. 

If only more people had actually stuck to their initial post-debate reaction and voted Lib-Dem then we would not be in this stupid position.  If you think Conservatives will save the day, you are wrong.  In the same respect if you still think Labour are in any way helpful to us, or are in fact in anyway different to the Conservatives, well, I’d have to disagree with you on that also.

Is this the most boring man on the planet?

The Conservative right wing, led by a man called Richard Ottaway says that Cameron should go ahead and leave Nick Clegg behind.  One of these far right Tories also said a coalition between Labour and Lib Dem would be a “coalition of losers”.  I guess that is as much of a sense of humour you could be expected to find in the Conservative party,  by definition they are humourless.  A prime example ->

We had the chance to change this country, a change that would have long lasting and possibly quite positive effect.  No more Lords bleeding us dry from their unelected and completely redundant position in life.  With Electoral reform, no more Trident nukes and a responsible debate hopefully, on reform on the very irresponsible and completely unscientific laws on drugs.  I can’t be the only person who sees a problem and a solution. 

We are in financial meltdown, yet there is a very easy fix in the form of certain drugs being legalised.  The legalisation and control of marijuana would not only generate a lot of money from the sales, but imagine the money that would be saved by not prosecuting people because they get caught with weed on them, or the money it costs to fight the war on drugs which is as ludicrous a concept as I have ever heard.  In my house in the middle of the night watching TV, I am an enemy combatant in the war on drugs.  I am a dangerous man worthy of an expensive and continuous war against both, myself and people like me.

It would seem that in dedication to the ongoing mystery in British politics, I have gone on some long winded and possibly nonsensical diatribe in which I flit from one idea to the next.  Although I would like to believe that, my political beliefs are indeed that, contradictory.  I am not in the hot seat though, I’m a writer,  I can make wild and crazy assaults on people and those of a nervous or hippy-like disposition probably won’t like some things I have to say, like the guy who said I was inciting violence by applauding a racist getting punched. 

Nevertheless, it is of no consequence to me because I am not trying to impress anyone to get into office.  I am simply trying to say that we missed our chance, we could have got rid of the Tories and Labour for five whole years.  Instead, we find ourselves in a position to further distance ourselves from one another.  Not only that but it would appear that too many people still don’t see that there is absolutely no difference which of the two main parties take the lead.  The difference is in your head.  I was accused the other day of wasting my vote by voting Lib Dem.  I was told I should have voted Labour to ensure Conservatives did not get in. 

What this person and the many like him don’t understand is that if you based your vote on anything other than policy then you wasted your vote.  If you voted Labour to keep out Tory, or vice versa, you wasted your vote.  This election provided us an unusual opportunity, and everyone who did not vote Liberal Democrat, for whatever reason, bottled it.  Cameron promised change, and many people fell for it.  Nick Clegg represented real change simply by being the third man in what is typically a two-man race, and we let it slip away.  Congratulations.  Enjoy the abyss, we are almost there.
