Day 45: Red Vs. Blue

It must have been about a year ago that I actively stopped giving a shit about UK politics.

Why? Because it's clear that no-one's interested in actually doing stuff that's good - the only important aspects of any new policy seem to be the following:

- It makes our party look good.
- It makes their party look bad.
- There is minimal risk that it can be twisted to make us look bad.

Politicians are always banging on about making a difference, but painfully it's utter rubbish. It's all just about scoring more points than the other side, which means that publicly accepting the fact that the other party are good at anything just isn't on the cards. To clearly highlight just how fucking mental this actually is, I've done a nice little diagram:

I mean, these are fundamentally people we're supposed to be placing trust in to make the right decisions for the entire country, and yet look at them in fucking parliament, booing and cheering like a Saturday night quiz show audience split down the middle into two opposed teams for no reason. Except on Ant and Dec's TwatChat Quiz Master Challenge the teams are asked to perform awkward Mexican waves, rather than EFFECTIVELY GOVERN THE COUNTRY.

To be honest, I find it difficult to even justify the point in voting. Lib Dem are clearly the lesser of three evils, and yet they've been out of power for so long they'd probably be so nervous that they'd probably end up bumbling around in a slapstick manner, knocking over the treasury with a ladder. Besides, they'll never fucking get in. Most people at this stage can't resist the smug insinuation that there are probably fucking millions of people JUST LIKE ME sitting on the fence who have been keeping the Yellows out of their rightful throne for years.

But of course, the only genuinely important reason I can see to vote is to try and minimise the number of seats the BNP win by proportion. A worthwhile reason enough, certainly - but you have to admit, it's pretty fucking rubbish.
