It's
election day, the day when we, the common herd, are promised the
earth. The day when the Crooks and Liars hang about to see just how
popular they are, will they get back on the gravy train or will they
have to ask their cronies for pay back, for all the favours the
handed out while they were in the trough with both hands. Will it be
a new shining smile that will take their place in the hallowed halls
of power. One thing for sure, whoever gets “voted” in will do
their own standard of living a power of good.
It
never fails to amaze me that failed promises after failed promises
from tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum, and lots of people still run and
cast their wee X in the belief that this crop of Crooks and Liars
will somehow be different from the last lot of Crooks and Liars. They
say that one of the signs of insanity is to keep doing the same thing
time after time, but hoping for a different result, perhaps that is
the answer.
Or could it be that the Crooks and Liars, with the help of the media have woven a very clever illusion.
In my long, long experience in watching these Crooks and Liars
competitions they call elections, I have to admit that this one is
about the quietest I have witnessed. I think I have had one party
political leaflet through the door but no callers preaching their
particular brand of lies, now that's hardly enthusiastic. Perhaps the
reason for this could be that this particular gang of Crooks and
Liars are aware of what the public at large think of them, and so are
keeping a rather low profile.
Low profile or not, low turnout or not, there will be a gang of
Crooks and Liars taking their seats in those marble halls and
divvying up the proceeds, each making sure that their future is
secured in the system and seeing to the welfare of their cronies.
That's how this system works, it's a privileged club and you and I
are not members, we merely fund it.
