Music is perhaps the only art form that
can touch my soul .There are artists who always seem to articulate a
message that resonates. You can place me firmly in the camp of I care
what you sing , not how you sing it. Blues music arose out of
oppression and a failure of representation.
Flashman and Calamity have fessed up
to being sorry but their message was directly aimed at their activists. No message to the ordinary ?
The professional ( well they earn their
living professing, if that makes them professional is another debate)
pundits have exercised their intellectual might to draw conclusions as
to the political state of the country, their predictions for the
future activity of the elected and of course the fate of the country
in 2015. Did you hear anything that surprised you ? Did you hear
insight ?
Are local elections so worthless and
meaningless to the political powers that the results are can be
dismissed in a 3 minute interview containing nothing more that the
usual, lazy platitudes ?
If you are an elected representative and
have dismissed these election results as mid term blues then you are
a patronising, ignorant fuckwit and you should resign immediately.
If your unemployed, in poverty, ill or
just surviveing you belong to the voter demographic that is growing
the fastest, the desperate. What message did you hear coming to you
today ?
It astonishes the writer that the
analysis does not extend to what message the electorate is sending ?
Your not worth voting for is the
resounding message sent to our politicians. Not a message coming
across on the news ?
The Tories say they need to communicate
better, the Lib Dems that their support has not eroded further and
labour we need to continue our good work winning your trust.
If your in opposition then our election
system encourages you to sit on the sidelines snipping. Thats not
your job , your job is to hold the government to account. Concentrate
on this , be honest and offer alternatives.
If your a Lib Dem, wake up the fact
that you have lost the trust of people who have voted for you
previously. Stop telling us that your in a difficult position, who
cares ? The only way back is to win peoples trust, try that.
And if you are Tory when are you going
to start listening to ordinary people instead of pandering to an aging demographic that ultimately will destroy you. As a pro
European I would welcome a referendum on Europe , have it and then
shut up about it. Gay marriage ? FFS who cares ? Let people do what
they want. Online porn ? Adults like porn shock horror, ( cannot
admit that can you ) protect kids fine but start with page 3 ? Laws
to let prayers at council meetings ? Is this the best you can really
do ? Oiky appeared on the Andrew Marr show this morning, despite
Marr's flaccid questioning our chancellor was more humble than normal.
The message was its the economy stupid. I hope he means it.
Mid term blues are real. they are
misery, apathy and despair. Mid term blues are not a voting pattern.
