How interesting to stand back and watch the politicians promise the earth in order to gain power!
It is quite apparent that none of the politicians, apart from possibly the Greens, are at all bothered about what is best for the country (or the planet). They are trying bribe after bribe in order to sway people to vote for them so that they can gain power.
Power, like wealth, is a terribly addictive thing.
The election brings it to the surface and it is naked for all to see; their lust for power trumps all common sense. They will try anything to gain power. They will lie, scare, misrepresent and blatantly try to buy your votes.
It is quite obscene.
It takes a certain type of psychopath to be a politician!
It’s all short-term, all ideological, all planned out to gain votes. It does not matter what is right or wrong, best for anyone or makes sense. It’s a big psychological game!
Quite nasty really!
Oh not so negative Opher. They didn’t all go to Eton!
I’m quite a fan of John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn and they probably have to say something to get elected.
Trevor – you may be right. I too am quite a fan of those two – I think they have some integrity – but this game of power is depressing. They are so cynical!
Hope my comment got through. It said it was a duplicate and I only did it once!
Well I just answered one from you – if that was the one!
I have to have this system of scrutiny because of some extremely unpleasant trolling a while back! Things now have to be mediated.
I don’t mind disagreement or a good debate or even a slanging match – but I don’t like abuse and threats!
So sorry that it makes it a bit harder for you to comment.
