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!

The Madness of King Gordon

Who knows whether a British prime minister has ever been sectioned under the mental health act.
Last week Gordon Brown looked a little out of touch when he declared that Britain was not broken. He claimed our society was intact. well it might be OK in Westminster but if he had any kind of connection with real society he would know how it feels to lie in bed at night listening to yobs outside singing and causing damage. To move to even reasonably good areas and find that Britain's yob culture is spreading far and wide. Attend any dinner party now for the middle to senior age group and the talk is of how to get out and where to go. France, Spain anywhere but here. We give up fighting for it,bloody have it. Its all a bit like getting lodgers in who really piss you off so you move out and leave the lodgers.
Well lots of politicians are out of touch but Gordon decided to brush off criticism by saying he was busy getting on with running the country and helping to deal with the world economic downturn. In fact lots of other politicians repeated the same mantra. Trouble is they not only didn't say what they were actually going to do they did nothing.
But have no fear, Gordon may well be sectioned after recently declaring that he was going to go on and win the next general election, not only that wait till you see what he does when he comes back from his holiday in September.
No doubt the men in white coats will be waiting for him on his return.
