The next general election will be a farce.

I despair for the UK. I fear the next general election will be a farce when in reality it is going to be one of the most important in our history. If it is a farce, as I think it will be, the one after that will have the biggest turnout for decades and they will be there to choose what will, in effect, be a wartime government. Not real war not even one like these clowns bullying countries that can't stand up to us. But one where we need to pull the country together to make our society better.

I've wondered for a while now who really is stupid enough to pick up this country at the next election? Who wants to be in charge during a very unpopular reign while it takes decades to fix what has been screwed up over the last 10 years? No new initiatives, hard policies and the only credit you will get is a hundred years down the line. When the analysis has been done and Blair's legacy is fully documented as a resounding failure. The person who fixes it will be credited as a savior but unrecognised during his time.

I thought this must be why the parties are all putting in crap candidates? They don't want to win. They know the situation and know they can't fix it and remain popular. After all the policies they are putting forward is not going to get us out of this mess. Green taxes, carbon points, Trident replacement, more wasteful foreign aid. More of the same crap policies. In ten years time we will be lucky if we can afford some shiny new rifles for our remaining troops with our public sector costs and pensions issues plus Brown's borrowing debt still be paid off. We are in a big hole and all the politicians bring only spades to the rescue party. A big mistake.

At the moment it appears that no one is going to stand up, be unpopular and grasp the nettle. Come out with policies, although unpopular will be the way to bring the Great back into Britain. Repair the last decade and make us a force to be reckoned with in the world again.

So. I'm considering voting Labour next general election. Now before you click on the red X in the corner hear me out.

To be perfectly honest the party politics laughingly called democracy is not working. It doesn't work here and it looks like the US is also having similar problems. We are all voting for things we don't want because there is a lot of things we do want in the package. Why can't we have everything the way we want it? All we do is weigh up the good things against the bad in all the parties and choose which one is not the worst. It's like being asked to choose which way you will die. I don't actually want to die but I have a choice of several ways and even if I don't pick a choice will be made. Of course there is still a hard core of people who vote for Labour because they are the party of the people and Tory because they are the party that will make the rich richer. Even now when that is clearly not the case. They still vote for the name only. Even the Lib-Dems, the *cough* alternative party, is as bad. The parties are the same useless tossers with different accents and pretty similar policies with minor variances. Which boils down to persecute us till we squeal then move on to the next topic and repeat. Ad infinitum.

History shows that the cock ups are always blamed on the previous government. Hell, Blair is still trying to blame Thatcher now. Sometimes this blame is justifiable. But us, the dim witted voters always end up split over who really to blame as it is never black and white so in the end those responsible always reflect blame to everyone else. If Labour win the next election and, as it must, the shit hits the fan they will have nobody else to blame. It's already starting to crack at the seams. It will be only to easy to see who is the culprit. The life long Labour supporters will be paying for what they have done to the country. Unfortunately, so will everyone else. But, maybe, just maybe, the hard core Labour voters will also rebel and nobody will ever vote Labour again. The face of politics could change. Hopefully our way of democracy with the separate parties will die and a new, more representative, way be implemented.

When we come to the next general election. My current plan is simple. If there is no party with the balls to grasp the nettle or the current regime has not spiraled into chaos then I'm going to vote for anarchy. I'll vote BNP or similar, if they stand, and if not, Labour out of the big three. I believe either way will lead to a major change in politics in the UK. The BNP will stir up their issues, get issued aired in a non PC way under parliament privilege. Labour, because nothing is screwed up enough that it's can't be fiddled with by politicians. Only this time it will lead to a breakdown in our society. Either way I would hate to be an immigrant into this country when it blows. These unfortunates are going to get the backlash from a people hyped up on fear.

Once the place settles down and people can see what has happened and gather together the evidence, maybe, just maybe we will use the extradition rule, if it's sorted, with the US to bring Blair back on charges of treason. We can use the Parliament Act to rush through the restoration of the Death Penalty for treason. That's one party political broadcast that would break all viewing records. Even the whingy whiney blood sports opponents would watch it. After all no animals will he injured and the guilt is clear to all.
