Local Elections

Well, it has been a good day for punching Labour in the face then following up with opening a chillie-soaked umbrella where the sun doesn't shine.

Yes, it's the local elections where us, the tax-paying electorate, get to vent our fury on the Labour "government". Nothing will change, of course. The government will continue to pass the laws that have been created in the EU and that they cannot amend in any way. The local councils that are not Labour will continue to get their central goverment grants reduced, thereby forcing the local taxes up as a punnishment.

But why so Cynical Mr Angry Ranting Man? Well, we've got 650+ MPs in Parliament who do bugger all every day due to fact that they cannot amend the legislation being forced on the UK from the EU parliament. And they like their expenses. Oh yes.

Then you have the hoards of non-jobs that Labour has created. Such job titles as "Diversity Outreach Coordinator" and others that will make you sick can be found in the Guardian newspaper every week. And we've got thousands of them.

But what is the difference between the Conservatives and Labour parties? Not much that I can see. The Conservatives have pledged to stick to Labour's spending plans. So no tax cuts for me then. And they are both mental on so-called "Global Warming". And they can't really do anything really because the powerbase is Brussels, not Westminster now.

So, any point in democracy?
