Election frustration, etc...

I should have done this a few days ago but since the debate happened last night, now seems as good a time as any.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm, OK, firstly, I am amazed that people are stupid enough to start thinking that might be even a remotely good idea to re-elect Labour.  Seriously, we have to change and it's not to do with the recession (yes there was a degree of irresponsibility) nor to do with the fact that we've had nonsense like the MPs expense scandal.  It's not even particularly to do with those illegal wars the Labour's ex Dear Leader dragged us in to.  It's about the fact that they can't get it together to govern.  Honestly, when you push all those other things aside we're looking at a collection of 320 or so people that simply can't co-operate or focus on what they need to do without spending too much time trying to get the soundbite or without trying to bring down an admittedly rubbish Prime Minister.

I saw the Conservative manifesto and I liked it. My major issue about government is that it's massive what with all the quangos, etc.  Clarkson is right - government does not need to be so big so I'm a big fan of that and actually I'm disappointed that Cameron doesn't make more of it.  Whatever about the fact that I'm blue, the point is that the country can save so much money by not wasting it on bureaucrap and YES!  Why doesn't every single political party think this is a reasonable suggestion?!

Talking of disappointment, I thought last night's television debate was rubbish.  If we're going to be taking a leaf out of the Americans'  book, then the debates should be in the same vein.  Instead, it was really boring.  So, so dull.  Cameron and Brown trying to take cheap shots so that's how Clegg did so well, because he was focused on getting his point across.  And also whoever presented the ITV debate was rubbish, I feel bound to say.  But I guess that might be because ITV is rubbish.

Um, so basically I think the whole election thing is brilliant and actually a hung parliament would be much fun.  Also I am going to be honest and say that Cameron has not been particularly impressive as yet.  He needs to get much better.  True story.
