Everything has to start somewhere...

...and that includes this blog. As the old adage goes "a week is a long time in politics" and I have been busy reading, listening, wildly gesticulating and swearing ever since the results of the UK General Election 2010. This past week as the Liberal Democrats niavely went into a coalition with the tories these outbursts have been growing longer and more frequent, so much so that I decided it was finally time for me to get off my arse and start to write about this. So here we are. You may not agree with everything that is written here and I encourage discussion about it all because if we are going to fix this and the subsequent really difficult problems (climate change, poverty, economy, welfare, education, NHS etc etc etc.) we need to work together, not as one, but as a nation. If one thing has been made clear by this election it is that our current system of representative parliamentary democracy does not work. I hope the graphics in the title bar will in some way show that but this blog aims to keep showing it and to expose the politics we have for what it is; a group of power hungry politicians who do not truly want us to be a fully democratic, modern nation but instead want to take all they can for themselves Con-Demning everyone else to a life of servitude and environmental disaster.
