You know, I sometimes set out writing comments and wonder "why the hell do I bother"?
All I ever read about is the "spin", "lies" and "fudged truth" about what is happening in this grey, miserable and blighted country that I call home.
With the possible exception of UKIP, no-one in politics is actually standing up and saying "this is not right - it's not how this country should be". Most of the general public are saying this but, they are not given a second thought. The are given a choice of "more of the same" - just choose which ties the wear and which logo they adhere to.
Cameron, Blair, Brown, Mandy, Clegg - they are just chant the same mantra - with a few words changed here and there to show how "different they are". They are NOT - they all simply wish to get to the trough, make as much money out of us as they can, cover it all with propaganda and, more or less, sell us into slavery.
The recent EU lunacy and the facile reactions of all but UKIP, to me, clearly demonstrates that they are all "in it for what they can get" - the man in the street is unimportant - other than being the "workhorse" for their personal enrichment.
We need, nay - we DEMAND a political party that puts itself squarely behind the continuation of this as a sovereign country and pledges to transform it from a drab, scared, worried and grey country to a good, secure and happy place to live.
It's pretty simple when you think about it. People as simply sick and tired of the "status quo" - because it is not what we want or deserve. WE need to ignite the country, it's people to get back to work, get back to believing that hard work will be rewarded and get some national pride back.
To do that needs a dynamic, charismatic and,above all, HONEST and dedicated leader - who believes in THIS country - and not simply being an "area" of Europe - governed by unelected, faceless and unaccountable "commissioner", who cannot be deposed, held accountable or even identified. People who vote themselves obscene amounts of money - OUR money.
I don't see anyone, with the possible exception of UKIP, who come close to offering what we want.
No wonder then that, when faced with a vote, most people think "what is the point, the government always get in". They want, demand and deserve someone to actually stand up and offer true leadership - and we are almost out of time now.
David Cameron is NOT what we are looking for. Nor is Nick Clegg, Mandy, or Brown. You know, I am a disabled 56 year old, with no experience of politics, no experience of public speaking, not very good with words and terrified of what is coming but, for all that, I would be willing (if anyone would back me) to have a go at offering the people of this country what they want. Purely because I don't feel I could do a worse job than ANYTHING that is on "offer" now.
