Electioneering

This time round I wonder who people will vote for. It’s hard to tell the difference between the two main parties, they seem to be Siamese Twins (sorry, conjoined twins) rather than polar opposites. In both cases their policies (or lack thereof) seem only to differ in punctuation and tiny things to argue about while the main points lumber through regardless. The options seem to be a dour Scottish tosser that we know is a scumbag or a perma-tanned PR weasel who’s slicker than greased owl-shit, and who we simply are pretty certain is a scumbag. More a case of “whichever devil you know”.
All of which makes me think that perhaps this election is the Liberal Democrat‘s best chance ever.
I wonder how many other people are thinking “Well both Brown and Cameron are cunts I wouldn’t trust to run a bath, let alone a country. Maybe I’ll go for the Libdems, see what they’ve got“. (Or at least words to that effect)
All Nick Clegg has to do really is look like less of a fuckwitted u-turning scumwad than the other two and (in my opinion) he’s got a real chance at being the next PM.
Maybe it’s time for that third way.
Clegg made a decent start last night on the leaders debate.
Ironically, all he did was to be frank, honest, polite, informed and actually answer the question.
People may say they’ll vote LibDem in all the polls, and think he’s the best man for the job from the Presidential Debates, but, old habits and family tradtions die hard for many people. Come polling day they’ll do as they always have And don’t forget that many people aren’t listening to what’s going on around them so are voting by what they’ve always done.
