The news that there is finally to be a General Election may have excited the politicians and their followers and given the keyboard warriors something to rant about other than Brexit but the world around us remains unimpressed. Who cares anymore.
Do politicians think of anyone except themselves and who do we vote for? Boris may be bad but the alternative Corbyn? A leftover from the 19th Century let alone the seventies. Then there Jo Swinson if anyone on the street remembers her name. Nigel Farage probably has a higher profile but he's just a bar propping politician.
Will the election solve anything anyway? The polls suggest a large lead for Boris but they did the same for poor old Theresa May who blew an opportunity to rid the nation of old Compo Corbyn through sheer incompetence.
Then there's the Nationalists snapping at everyone's ankles demanding this or that. Not just the Scots the DUP want their pot of gold for every vote. There's more than a few independents in Parliament including a small group around Change UK or whatever they call themselves this week (and I'm a paid up member).
Voting in this election is not going to be straightforward. Most people are sick of the "B" word. I certainly and when meeting up with a group of people I hadn't seen for years we all agreed at the start that , the unmentionable was to be exactly that.
Relief all round.
Sky even has a news channel sans news about Brexit so sick of it people are, yet so many of the political establishment will be making promises around Europe. In or out just get it done. We've had a vote. You lost let's just go. We've become the laughing stock of the world with our failure to deal with this crisis. So much for "Great Britain".
The "Mother of Parliaments" is broken.
I blame all of them.
The General Election will now start in earnest as the parties strt vying for your vote. It's going to be more wide open than people think because old party loyalties have started to meltdown. The nation is divided and polarised more than anytime since the Civil War.
Unless a new Oliver Cromwell rises from the fray then the slogan must revolve around a very basic ABC.
Anybody But Corbyn.
Nuff said?!!
