It has not even started yet, and I’m already fed up of this election. It’s not as if I’ve lost interest in politics, although I can’t blame the 90% of people who have; I’m just fed up of all the bullshit that’s flying about. I know nobody is bullshit free, but most of it seems to be coming from the Tories. Are we really expected too believe that to cut now would get us out of this recession. We need a slow, steady recovery, not some knee-jerk reaction. To cut now would mean the Tories can cut tax, which would mean a cut in services; this means that rich people would pay less tax while we who rely on public sector services suffer. In short, CaMoron is helping out his rich backers. He says he wants the charity sector to take up the slack, which, as I wrote a week or so ago, just doesn’t add up.

Tory plans for schools are equally laughable. They want to enable everyone who wants to to set up a school. Sounds good on a superficial level, doesn’t it, but think about it: such schools will draw teachers and resources away from existing schools where they are needed. The result will be an increasing standards gap where the rich once again get the best education. It is elitism and discrimination by the back door; a return to the class-based systems of the sixties. Their sort of elitism does not and has never worked.

As for the Tories being the party of the NHS, give me a fucking break. Conservatism is all about the free market, not nationalised services. This is one of CaMoron’s biggest lies; how can he make such a claim?

Indeed, how can this man pretend to be forward thinking and open when he has homophobes in his shadow-cabinet? How can he try to blame the recession on brown when it was the fault of the banks? How can he say he’s the man to bring us out of recession when cutting now would probably cause a depression? And how on earth can anyone be stupid enough to consider voting for the slimy little liar? That’s the question that has really got me fed up.
