Conference season over (thankfully..)

We had Nick Clegg and his sorry song, Ed Milliband and his Tory One Nation speech – I think that he must have got confused by which party he was leading..and finally David Cameron telling everyone that he’s ONE OF US and not posh, etc

Blah, Blah, Blah – they all sound the same, talk about the same subjects and try to make out that they are ‘normal’ – which of course we all know that they aren’t.

I’ve actually been to a Conservative Conference a number of years ago and I think that I stayed for one or possibly 2 days before running out and going home due to the boredom of one of these events.

Nothing changed other than instead of being in the opposition that they are now in Government (jointly).

The party faithful being fed what they need in order to keep delivering those leaflets and knocking on doors and preaching to everyone that they met David Cameroon and he’s a jolly nice guy, etc, etc

Rather reminds me of one of the Nazi Party rallies where everyone is excited to be a part of this big political movement – not that I’m saying that the Conservative Party is like the Nazi Party but making the point that these political rallies are all very much similar (i.e. rabble raising).

It’s funny to read on Facebook all of the party faithful saying how great that David’s speech was and things like they bumped into him at a service station and thanked him for re-inventing the party, etc

But I honestly don’t believe that the Conservatives will be in power in a couple of years time, it would still be a Collation government and we will still be in all of this economic mess – it would just mean a change of Leader/Prime Minister.

So who next to replace him – Boris? Ed?

It doesn’t really matter who replaces him – It wouldn’t be you or I that hold that power or decision.

How far do we as a Country have to go along with this almost dream like state that we have to keep the political party system or that we don’t have a real choice on who our local MP would be –all the real power is dependent by their local constituency parties: thirty-five men in grubby raincoats or thirty-five women in silly hats . (Yes Minister - BBC)

As Sir Humphrey goes on:

"The argument that we must do everything a Minister demands because he has been 'democratically chosen' does not stand up to close inspection. MPs are not chosen by 'the people' - they are chosen by their local constituency parties: thirty-five men in grubby raincoats or thirty-five women in silly hats. The further 'selection' process is equally a nonsense: there are only 630 MPs and a party with just over 300 MPs forms a government and of these 300, 100 are too old and too silly to be ministers and 100 too young and too callow. Therefore there are about 100 MPs to fill 100 government posts. Effectively no choice at all."

That was written in the 1980’s and nothing has changed!

We are in 2012 – the digital revolution, the age of the Internet Super highway – were we all are linkedin, facebooked and twittered together.

Surely its only a matter of time till everyone wakes up out of this dream to realise that things need to change?

So that we don’t have to listen to any more of the party political BS – whereby all of the x3 parties sounds exactly the same, in the same patronising tones..

Perhaps they will all fight to keep the status quo, down to when they all have membership numbers down in single figure numbers....
