Perhaps one reason why on average only 76% of voter turnout is recorded in Britain, because no matter who or what party you enable control, they are all the same, the status quo will not be changed despite electioneering promises that get conveniently forgotten when power is obtained.
This country like many other countries exists for business first and we are not just people, but employees of that government business, in that we pay it more and more in taxes to exist, but what does it do for us, well, it makes conditions at least favourable so that we can be employed by companies and there pay the government for the privlige of being able to work for a company via our wage taxation. A government must make the conditions favourable for companies to exist in the country and employ people as if they didn't the companies would leave or cease to be, and all hell will then break loose, anarchy in the uk.
But as with all people, politicians are just the same, they desire to enrich themselves by whatever means possible and if the lowliest worker can accept a cash in hand job and not pay the government its tithe, then the highest politician can also do the same so enriching themselves as they desire and in many cases do so from the companies that exist in the country to employ people, the cash in hand jobs, lobbying perhaps are all part of the system that make conditions favourable for companies to exist. Front door and back door actions to enrich all concerned, we are all guilty of it, but the higher up the ladder one goes, the worse it looks and especially so when it is politicians that are concerned, because much of the public holds politicians to higher or lesser ideals.
But why vote, is it actually going to change anything, will the status quo be challenged, if there was a clear indication that all the change promised by all parties everytime actually would result in change in the favour of the people, I might again be inclined to vote, but half way through my natural life so far, I am somewhat dismayed at what I have seen so far, and can only think liars, like the liars before and the liars to come. Further to that, no one, is inspiring me as to their value as a leader to follow, as I guess the situation is with many others as is much the case, voting often is for the lesser of all evils.
At one time we used to reward those who achieved merit, now we don't, at one time our political system was a meritocracy meaning anyone from anywhere could rise to lead all, but now we have politicians trained from birth at schools where the aim is to create politicians, where is the merit in that, when it is many of the politicians that share the benches in Parliament despite their political allegiance all sat next to each other on the same benches in the same schools. They were taught to lead by the status quo, whom eventually it is hoped all of them will serve.
It quite definately is, a case of them versus us, the status quo and it's retainers against those who put idealism first.
As Pahunk so often puts it, follow the money, because where there is money, there is power and control and that power and control derived however and whatever, fair does not even come into it, as money has very few morals and quite often those that are the wealthiest similarly so, or else, would they be the wealthiest at all in the first place ?
