May 7th 2015, Great Britain goes to the poll stations in droves to cast votes, for one person to be the face of UK for the next couple of years. The build up for this election has been pretty intense, no stone has been left un-turn. Every leader of their respective party has made multiple appearances across the country and TV. I've had multiple letters in the post asking for my vote and people knocking on the door without foods in their hands but clipboards trying to get opinions on stuff and leaving leaflets about the party they're representing.
This time round I really invested time into hearing everyone's point of view, through the newspaper to the TV spat matches. I almost decided to vote this time round, thought hey why not feel like I'm making a difference and throw my little vote in and hope for the best.
My problem is politics really brings out the beast in some people. Like someone's true colours come across and act like real pieces of shit. Leading up to this election day, social media has played a major part. And with that comes people throwing in their two cents and rightly so. But what's got on my nerves is some people are so blinded by their views, to the point that it comes across ignorant, arrogant and even straight up disrespectful and distasteful.
A classic case that stood out to me happened just four days ago, so I'll set it up like this. The whole of boxing was locked to the screen ready to watch the Money v Pac-Man fight (given 5 years too late but whatever). This fight was so gravitating that the US release of Avengers: Age Of Ultron only made $187 + million in it's opening weekend.
Anyway even non-boxing fan was interested in this blockbuster fight. One female just went on her Facebook page and wrote on her status "I Would love to see a post that ain't about the boxing!! Would love to know how many of you will be voting on Thursday or how many of you even know that its the Election! Sheep with no priorities... in the words of the great Al Murray... Broken fucking Britain!" WTF has people's personal interest got to do with politics? You're quoting a comedian who's stand up is based around a pub lord character......
Anyway back to putting my name next to a party, it just doesn't appeal to me. Maybe I'm naive for this but, I look at these lot and think I'm never going to bump into one of you men in Nandos. And I wouldn't ever see you in Niketown just browsing for some new creps for running etc.... I just don't see any of these men and think "they understand what's wrong with the community and how to fix it."
If we're being really honest, UK is a great place to live but it's really fucked up! These kids ain't got much to aspire for, seems there's just a vicious cycle of go to School and when you done there you go off to College. Once done there you head off to University and then come out with qualifications (I hope that's the case), and unless you're super lucky end up working in retail or Carphone Warehouse or something.
Why can't the government cater more to the next generation and set-up a proper situation that they can grasp and make work for them. Like set-up a program that allows students to have a guarantee job, which is as close to what they spent 3-4 of their years studying for. That would help the students get their back into the world of making their own, while not being stressed by the big bill of debt from student loans needed to hep them GET THE QUALIFICATIONS THEY NEED TO HELP BE THE BEST THEM THEY CAN BE!
None of the wannabe Prime Ministers have the look that makes you want to vouch for them. I mean, I know everyone has their opinion on the job Obama has done with the time he's been in office. Had alot of mess to clean up from that guy before him, but the guy just seems cool educated dude. Seems US politics has more diversity than the UK does, why isn't there more diversity in politics? Is that why many people don't vote? Because they're not hearing or seeing how the change is going from someone they can relate with? A chicken can't relate to a cow talking about life.
Let's be honest out here, how depressing is it when you hear interview with Cameron and there's no rapping involved? Nick Clegg looks like the type of guy that will take the last piece of cake and blame Casper for stealing it while face covered with icing on his face. Ed a Milli a Milli a Milli a Milli kind of dropped his shoulder like Messi on his brother to take his place as the face of the Labour party (these family members ain't loyal naaaaaaaaaaaaaah). And as for that other guy............. the less said the better.
Why do we need a government anyway? Why can't we just get the best qualified brains to run the particular departments moving forward? I hope that whoever makes it to office really sticks to all that fly talk they were giving to win people's vote. Because nothing was than a liar who lies to get what they want, and in this case that's running a country. I didn't vote so I can't moan about who's in charge but I just hope that some change comes into play.
That's all from me on that one folks.
