I am going to spoil my ballot paper in the coming general election.
I am going to write on it “Thieves”.
I wish that many other people would also do this, and then I would like the BBC and all the other media to have the courage to explain this to the world, so that everyone in the world knows how shabby our politicians are.
With great power comes great responsibility, and that requires strength of character, and honour.
Clearly, our politicians are massively lacking in both.
They awarded themselves huge salary rises, and fabulous pensions, but that was not enough, they needed an open chequebook, to take as much as they wanted.
So they created a law to allow themselves to steal from the British people, their own almost unrestricted expense account.
The big money grab going on by our politicians is not recent or limited to the current incompetent party, politicians from all parties do it, none is worthy of power.
Any decent politician would come forward and tell the world what was going on.
I am ashamed of the quality of the people we now have running our country.
There was a time this country valued character and honour, but now it is all gone.
I hope this is the final embarrassment for a country that once had the greatest empire in all of history.
I consider myself insignificant and very far from perfect, but even I would not associate with any of them if they wanted my time; they are a disgrace to this nation.
As much as I am keen to see the back of the current less than useless government, I have no confidence that the next ‘corruption’ of politicians will be any better.
Therefore, rather than endorse any of them I would sooner say no to all of them, and I want the world to know it.
At first I thought not voting was good enough, but that is too feeble, I need to make a stronger statement.
The honest hard-working people of this country need to send a clear message to these self-serving crooks.
I am also very disappointed in our monarch. Presented with a chance for once in her reign to stand up and do something strong for this nation, she seems not to care enough. Why does she not dismiss them all and take back the money these thieves stole from us? She would be so right to do so, and applauded for doing it. She could engage a new government, not composed of politicians, but of honest people, experts in their field, working together for the benefit of the nation over themselves.
A new start.
Power corrupts
The cash-for-honours affair is an example of how too much power rests in the hands of the morally and mentally feeble. We have a governing system that has existed for hundreds of years, yet still our politicians find ways to corrupt and misuse it. They probably think they are clever with their antics, whereas they demonstrate how very ordinary they are. To have a great vision and not be diverted from it by temptation demonstrates a nobleness of character which is lacking in the current crop of politicians. I hope in my life to see a prime minister worthy of the task, rather than these self aggrandising smart-mouthed children. They should feel ashamed of themselves for what they have done, but they will probably write books to make more money from that portray it as clever manoeuvring. I am ashamed for this country, to have leaders with such weakness of character.
