I’m a regular at local government meetings where they spend five to six hours at a time bickering about party politics and their petty personal squabbles. And I read today that after a lot of wrangling and worry and hand-wringing the Government has decided to up the budget for the 2012 Olympics (an event that will promote harmony between the nations) to just short of £10 billion.
And yet, yesterday it only took a five hour debate to approve spending £20 billion on new submarines and bombs capable of making global warming look like a birthday present.
Makes you think, doesn’t it?
Yes. For a long time now, I have known that the country is run by idiots. The problem with politics is that it attracts exactly the wrong people to run a country, and that voting tends to be good at putting exactly the wrong type of person in power. I don’t want an overly passionate, emotional, religious, baby-cradling leader of our government, or MP for that matter. I want someone who is reasonable and rational and ways up the facts and evidence in an informed and rigorous way, making the most of expert council.
I’ve believed for a long time now that there are only 2 legitimate options. One is Benevolent Dictatorship and the other is to educate people so well both socially and morally that we exist together in peaceful anarchy. No really, I mean it. Stop laughing you wankers.
I reckon I’ve got the answer to this particular conundrum. Check out http://www.freedemocrats.org.uk
This political party, founded in a market town somewhere in Britain, wants to put all decisions in the hands of the electorate rather than leave the whole thing to the people who live in the bubble that is Westminster village.
Enjoy.

Bob, I know you like to feel important, but making the same comment twice on your own post is a bit sad and downright transparent.
You’ll note that I got the web address wrong the first time, but couldn’t find a way to get rid of the innaccuracy.
As an outsider I’d say that this Bob fellow has blatantly set this whole thing up by purposely typing the wrong e-mail address 1st time around.
