2010 UK Election

Well we have another General Election coming up in a few days, and the media has reduced the whole thing to a farce. Fucking televised "debates", pricks visiting places they would never normally dream of going just to try and curry favour with the electorate (who mostly won't even bother to vote since it doesn't really seem to matter who is in 'power' so long as someone somewhere is seen to be vaguely controlling the running of the country), and paparazzi photographers and cameramen trying to capture anything remotely humiliating about any of the candidates. Seems our election system is becoming more like the sensationalised American campaign trail rather than actually focusing on anything remotely relevant to the country's future. 

 Gordon Brown called some old bitch 'sort of bigoted', which you might not realise since EVERY report seemed to imply he had simply called her a bigot. Sort of bigoted is a long way from saying she IS a bigot for starters, plus the stupid old cow probably was a fucking bigot, half the country is anyway so what difference does it make?

 David Cameron, it seems, is the media's favourite to win. After all it's Labours fault we were in a recession, and nothing to do with a global economic crisis. Plus he's young, has a fairly attractive (pregnant) wife, and he hasn't yet had a chance to be in 'power' when the country has gone to shit (so he has as clean a record as any politician can hope to have). Of course nobody seems to mind that his wife is about to drop their baby and he'll be too knackered to do his job properly if he's elected, or, and this is much worse, he'll be a bad father. You can guarantee if he gets into power and doesn't spend enough time with his newborn the media will have a shit storm about that,  and vice versa if he doesn't spend enough time running the country.

 As for Clegg, well we won't give the Liberal Democrats a chance to run the country. Not that it matters because things would still be perceived as going to shit regardless of who is in 'power' because we all remember the bad and forget the good. That's assuming the good is ever actually reported. Which it rarely is.

 Either way, as unpopular as it might make me, I'll be voting Labour this election, since I actually quite like Gordon Brown. He lacks the charisma necessary to successfully lie to the nation, and therefore is probably the best choice. Of course this lack of ability to lie to people is why he's so unpopular, because the masses don't actually like the naked truth.
