BBC "Have Your Say"
Despite being generally quite chilled out and relaxed I am also very political and love nothing more than a good old, politically motivated rant.

I don't lean toward any party as such, however I have quickly learned to treat them all with equal disdain:

New Labour? All they give a shit about is fucking up the country and taking as much tax off you as possible. Like to stiff the middle/upper classes.

Tories? As above but with a weakness for buggery as learned in public school. Like to stiff the middle/working classes.

Liberals? Took 'em 18 months to agree on the name "Liberal Democrats", why would I want them in government? Some of their policies seem guaranteed to ensure they stay a minority oppositon party.

Green? ALL the greenies I have ever met suffer from advanced rabies. Want to stiff everyone, ergo more should be shot.

BNP? Who gives a fuck about quality of life, they just want everybody out of the country who they don't like, while listening to Wagner. More should be shot.

SNP/Plaid Cymru? I'm English and wish I could devolve from Westminster, but I can't either.

So far any BBC debate which either involves tax, the government, transport, crime or politics in general will elict an acerbic a post as possible from me, Indeed I once had the honour of having one of my questions put to the Junior Minister for the Environment by the BBC, however the fat speech impeded cunt dodged the question beautifully, endlessly repeating the words "TAX! TAX! TAX!" no doubt with wide eyes and slavering mouth.

I sincerely hope his testicles shrivel and his cock falls off.

Meanwhile, my local MP is regularly appraised of my current political bugbear. Do I feel ashamed?

Do they feel guilty about taking your money and farting in your face?. The leeching fat cunts are there to work for you, make sure they earn their keep.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

The mention of "Have Your Say"
leads me to wonder if you're familiar with ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/ ?

I know a few b3tans visit it, I've seen Scaryduck make a few posts. *stalk*

ah
but what's the alternative?

there has to be a lesser evil party as even screaming lord sutch didn't get into power by himself!

it's no good complaining if you're not going to vote. and it's no good hating everybody as then noone would be in charge.

i think b3ta should be a political party... imagine the laws we could pass....

Alternative?
Democracy isn't perfect and too many people in Britain today seem to put up with the shit they're deluged with. Hence the powers that be get away with it.

The only alternative is to ensure YOUR representitive in parliament is appraised of YOUR concerns. If they don't act accordingly then make it known you'll vote elsewhere. If enough people do this then the dim recesses of a politician's brain which equate votes with ludicrous expenses claims will do the rest.

edit: If b3tans were in charge, there would be fewer tossers and more kittens. What's not to like about rachelswipe's plan?

Yes, the "HYS" section on the BBC website is great
A great (and sometimes scary) slice of opinions.

One of the comments on that ifyoulikeitsomuch website
“My greatest Christmas wish would be to be able to wake up one morning, walk through the streets of my city, and find that all the immigrants had gone home. No more foreign faces, no more foreign voices; oh what a joy it would be to have my country back!”

Jesus Christ. I'd be he'd send me "back" as my father is Irish. And what nationality was the first (well according to when they started counting anyway) King of England? French. And Saint George was of course Turkish.

ok, great, but..
so what do you want? What policies would you approve of, or are you happier moaning?

Moaning?
Well yes, to a point I'm guilty of enjoying it a teensy bit when I feel sufficiently aggrieved to vent spleen at the latest political shenanigans which we have to pick up the tab for (hence it's inclusion in this week's QOTW) but if you read my post you'll see the point I've made that I will contact my MP who represents me in parlaiment when I have an opinion about something which affects my daily life.
