Well the
elections are over, the verbal diarrhoea has stopped, some of the
Crooks and Liars breathe a sigh of relief while others shed a tear,
as for the dull herd, they'll leave the scene to merge into the mire
of daily life, feeling they have been part of something, though in
time they'll wonder what.
To all
those obedient, subservient, believers, well you done it. You broke
your daily routine, left your comfort zone and boldly marched to the
ritual altar of the ballot box, you made your mark, and done your
duty. Now back in your daily plod, there is a deep sense of
satisfaction knowing that, because of you, from today on, things will
be different. Just like the last time you voted and the time before
that, and the time before that. Sorry to burst your bubble friend,
those with disabilities are still being sacrificed on the financial
alter, unemployment is still set to keep rising, with a generation of
young people being destroyed, benefits for the most vulnerable are
still being cut, our health service is still being privatised, our
education system decimated, and oh, the tele is still crap. You may even
have managed to change some of the smiling suits in that bunch of
Crooks and Liars, and I have no doubt we will of course hear the
usual platitudes, “lessons have been learnt” “we hear what you
are saying”, beyond that, you will still struggle to pay your
bills, you will still get crap wages and lousy conditions, if you
have a job. As far as the “political class” are concerned, the
show's over, it's now time for you to get back to your routine grind
and leave them to get on with the plunder of all our public assets.
Isn't it a great system? Well they seem to think so!!
