Elective perspective.

Unless you've been stuck under your bed since last night, you'll be aware of our political mess situation. After watching Cameron on the news earlier today, I've become slightly worried. Although the economy, according to Brown, is the most important matter to be dealt with, I have to disagree.
Having a coalition, especially if it becomes the Tories and Lib Dems, in my eyes, could be dangerous. Surely this is the most conflicting combination? And, although the economy may need to be dealt with soon, surely we should be a bit more worried about national security.
Brown, no matter how adorable he can sometimes come off on TV, had his chance. And David Cameron makes me very nervous with his darting eyes, and his expression, which comes across as if he's constantly lying, and hiding some secret agenda. And the Lib Dems, the only thing that concerns me about them, is their lack of address to our defence.
However, this hung parliament has me worried. We usually live in a stable, civilised country. But it's quite scary to think that government, who you would (kind of) have faith in to be a together unit, really isn't.
I've read in several places that the voting has shown that the public definitely want a change, they're just unsure of in what party that change lies.
The public's right to vote on who to run our country kind of backfired, it seems. Either combination of three flawed parties isn't what the public wanted, I'm sure.
Even Lincoln, the constituency I'm currently living in, has turned out to be a Tory-based disappointment.
There he is on the right (how ironic), the new Tory MP for Lincoln. He even bears some similar resemblance to Cameron with his 'I'm thinking something a lot darker than what I'm saying' face.
My personal highlight so far of the elections, was earlier today on television. The news cut to the votes being read out in a constituency, it was all so serious, Labour's results were read out... and then the commentator read out, as seriously as possible, "and the monster raving loony party...' TV gold.
Defence aside, it's Clegg that seems to still, despite such an anti-climatic result, to be the better leader. The Times Online have said: '...the decision by Nick Clegg, that Mr Cameron should get the first tilt at government because his party won the most votes and the most seats'. The article then went on to say 'he said that he had a "constitutional duty" to ensure that a parliamentary majority is found that reflects the will of the people'. Whereas Cameron was broadcast, desperately and seedily as always, on television, pleading to the public.
Although, I don't how much you can trust from an article that has a typo. And now I'm secretly praying that my blog doesn't have any...

  2. Personally I would have voted for Sir Terry Leahy if he had run as Tesco's always make a healthy profit. None of the idiots that we end up voting for are capable of balancing the books.
