Ok, I told myself that I wouldn’t “get political” about this upcoming election on here. I told myself I wouldn’t post cynical satirical cartoons.
But then I happened to read a BBC article (warning – depressing) where the Labour party seemed to throw away their one redeeming feature… by not exactly criticising or speaking out against the Tory party’s current obsession with wanting to discriminate against trans people.
And it reminded me that both of these parties really are as bad as each other. Both care far too much about what the tabloid newspapers think. Both are also joyless to the core, sworn enemies of the very concept of happiness. But, at least unlike the US, other parties actually exist here.
Yes, some of them are dreadful, some of them are silly and some are little more than running jokes. And, it would be crass of me to endorse any one candidate. They’re all pretty dreadful. But a protest vote for a “useless” third party (whether left, centre or right) or even a spoiled ballot would at least be a good way to say “No!” to the “terrible two” who are getting all of the press coverage at the moment.
Sorry, again about “getting political” – I usually avoid politics on here….
