The cynics wife theory

Surely if I want to do good things I can find support in my community? Maybe keep a hospital open or save some green belt land? If I try I can get people to come out to support me?
But If I want to do bad things like say polute the environment by building another runway or destroy some green belt by building a huge supermarket? Maybe buy a few more bombs? Well its going to be hard to get people out on the streets then and as a result hard to do bad things.
I still need influence though and because theres few of them they will have to be powerful decision makers.
The best influence to have is of course political. They make the decisions and send in the bulldozers after the so called enquiry has confirmed its a bad thing I want to do. They can even sign the cheques to help me buy the bombs. So the best way to get influence is to buy it and go to the right dinners and meet the right people. Therefore I become a political donor in order to build, polute or deprive in whatever form I choose. This is relatively easy with a party system of politics because they are a team and stick together from the top down.

Hence the Cynics Wife law of politics says that

"The party system by its nature demands that we have leades who work against our wishes"

DO NOT VOTE!

What conscience?

The debate about whether MP's should be allowed a free vote on the frankenmouse bill is in full swing and as usual the billion pound medical industry media machine has swung into action. Not withstanding the clever planting of the usual surge of Miracle cure life saving potential treatment stories. They still fill us with fear with wordss like cancer, lukemia and altziemers. Havent we heard all these arguments for the past 40 years while we pour millions into the charity pot of organisations like cancer research UK. God bless em they intent to spend £400,000,000 pounds on research this year and tell us it proves they are working harder. Instead they continue to spend it making rats and mice better instead of humans. have you noticed cancer is getting worse? The latest frankenmouse enabled a mouse to get a cold so that it too could be cured, you see mice dont get colds. Despite all your charitable giving animal tested drugs fail at the human stage in 95% of cases after years of work. The BBC (Britains Big Coverup) was keen to share our misery at missing a days racing at Cheltenham (20 mins on peak news) which left little time to talk about the fact that one of the worlds biggest drug manufacturers was being charged with manslaughter over its misuse of prescription medication research.

After all that how come no one stopped to concider that an MP who is elected by you to represent your interests is expected to resign from his £60,000 plus expenses job if he decides to represent you and not the government. Standard practice by all accounts, thats what you are voting for.

Its standard practice to resign if you vote against the governments bill. just wanted to repeat that so its clear. Therefore by default all power rests with the vert top tear of policy makers and will remain unchallenged while we are all busy standing outside in the freezing cold having a fag.. Is it just me...?
