Our TUSC candidates, agents and guests attended the Count for the Council elections last night. It was fascinating. Shame about the people though...
It's bullshit - the whole institution.
Politics works in a world totally and utterly void of any implemention of "ideology".
What the people actually want is in absolutely no way reflected in what actually happens.
We have a Conservative moaning about how his expenses do not make up for his loss of earnings in his business, and I quote:
"I often feel that the money I spend in allowances is not reflective of that of what I've lost in my business"
Then we have a Liberal Democrat promoting values that her own party leadership does not represent. I believe whole heatedly that what grassroots Lib-Dems stand for is amazing, however when in power they are nothing more than scape-goated puppets who fall even before the first hurdle.
I think it's clear, and fair, and justified to say that politics and millionaires as a coalition have successfully isolated themselves from the day-to-day reality of Joe Public. Not one of them has a bloody clue what actually happens in life.
It's all about media coverage, and the power of money. It's about what sells and what attracts people - It has nothing to do with values and standards. Or beliefs and conviction. The days of real representation in political power are long gone.
But then I guess that's life.
It doesn't matter who wins. It is the entire institution of political power that has failed. but that happened a long long time ago.
Yet since the addition of Media PR and distractions (which fool the majority), we're further away from the utopian democracy than ever before.
THAT'S why I'm a Socialist.
