Game over
http://www.iaza.com/work/120128C/iaza13186183298600.jpg
If anyone had any residual belief that there was anything salvageable from our current system of government, forget it! (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16750583) The children have taken over and all we are left with is the wreckage.
This illustrates my fears about the state of British government and our leaving the EU. On current evidence, we have - as pointed out previously (http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/2011/08/are-we-men-or-wimps.html) - lost the ability to govern ourselves, in which case a fully independent UK in the hands of these clowns would be a disaster.
That is not to say that we should not leave the EU – far from it. But it does say that merely campaigning to leave is not enough. Additionally, we have to have plans to rebuild our government and put the grown-ups back in charge.
Not a serious in-depth political post, but an indication of the calibre of our political debate that we're now forced to endure from the three dead political parties which are held up by our voting system and the media. Two political parties with collapsing membership figures, all identical and operating on the basis of 'we need to get into office' rather than any form of belief or serious discussion and/or debate.
It also brings up another point as well and how just a little bit of homework makes you think - some of you may have seen that last week David Cameron was splashed all over the papers and offical Conservative blogs saying that we need inventive capitalism and less state control (which is true)..... but this is coming from the man who wants to meddle in the price of Terrys' Chocolate Orange. Need I say more?
David Cameron and Ed Miliband arguing over chocolate prices, could it be anymore of a farce?
Thoughts?
