Whilst on a mission to spread the word about how important tomorrow’s election is for all our futures, the following piece reproduced in full from Old Holborn speaks volumes on the current political situation and what will happen if we don’t choose wisely tomorrow :

It’s finally arrived. For just the second time this decade, you are finally allowed to make a choice and have your voice heard by the 646 Members of Parliament who are supposed to represent you in our democracy. For the rest of time, you may rest assured they will be working furtively for their Parties, big business, Unions or Lobbyists whilst stuffing as much of your cash into their own pockets as possible.

And if on Friday, you awake to find nothing has changed, to find the culprits, you need only look in the mirror.

You’re never going to be asked or consulted. Think tanks and focus groups exist to do that. Armies of special advisers and policy analysts, career politicians and vested interests will beaver away making sure that your voice is not going to be heard.

And when, as Greece is finding out, it finally dawns on you that it was all just the false promises of an overstretched double glazing salesman, desperate for you to sign on the dotted line so he could claim his commission, it will be you and your children who will have to pay yet again to get out of the mess they got us in to in the first place. And promise to get us out of it they will. As long as you’re the ones paying. Just sign here, Madam, and all will be well. We’ll keep the draughts out.

So make your choice wisely today. They won’t be asking us, the people, what we actually want for another half a decade and in the meantime our wishes, our dreams, our aspirations and yes, our solutions will count for absolutely nothing. Because only they matter.

You’ll continue to be monitored, recorded, assessed and legislated against. You’ll continue to work even harder to feed the ever growing behemoth that is the State as it lumbers clumsily and expensively along. You’ll continue to lose your rights to live as an individual as Government puts its own needs above all else and you’ll continue to be treated with abject disdain by those we supposedly elected to represent us.

Remember, we are where we are because of Politicians. Don’t look to them for the answers.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss (the Who – Won’t get fooled again, 1971)

Go and vote!
