Thanks Konspiracy - that's a neat tirade for the ideas in my head I've been so far unable to express.
this 'democracy' we make such a deal about, that we export with such vigour and zeal - what's it actually worth?
we have the'opportunity' to squander a 4-yearly vote on parties conglomorated around a centre, and differentiating themselves none. If I disagree with specific issues, I'm powerless until they raise a media outcry, at which point everything becomes polarised.
THE WORST thing, is the cycle of blame. Especially in Britain, it seems. Politicians play the limelight and blame predecessors and legislation for all their fuckups. Case in point, the Millennium Dome. Beautiful structure. Scheme insitgated by Tories. Interior contents decided by cretinous politicans. Mostly Labour. Project flops - who gets the blame? The current holder of the chalice.. or 'no-one'
It's this short-termism of thought that I find the most worrying.
Almost makes me want to be a complete socialist...!
