Why is all this election business so artificial?
Politicians are simply not interested in doing what really needs doing. For them it is all about power and votes.
For most of the time they treat us with disdain and contempt.
The short term patterns of our election prevents any long-term planning. When it comes to infra-structure or painful decisions they duck the issues – they think ‘what is the point of doing something that a future government will pick up the credit for? Where’s the votes in that?
What I want is passion and idealism. I want someone who will stand up and put their views out because it is what they believe. I do not want to hear politicians blathering on about what they think might get them votes so that they can wield power and be the big I-Am. I want honesty.
I want politicians to do what is right and not what is popular.
I want integrity, real issues, caring and some common sense.
Why is it that we always have to choose which is the less nasty, less greedy, less crooked, less uncaring?
I want a real choice! I want an alternative to the selfish greed of the Tories with their uncaring disregard for ordinary people. I don’t want to have to settle for a watered down version.
I joined the Green Party but here in London they do go on about homes but key word is affordable!
I’ll vote Green. My only doubt is that it could let the Tories in!
