How about this. Many of you may be in business and as such its important to have the right man for the job. Dedication, experience and skills. Not just your mate.... Cos you like him. Thats is exactly what party politics demands. I can not find a poitician with the skills for the job can you? Lets take some exmples at random Alan Johnson secretary of state for health - postman and union member head
James purnell – secretary of state for work and pensions was a Corporate planner for bbc Alistair darling chancellor of the exchequer – local council and a solicitor
Des Browne has been Secretary of State for Defence since 2006. and he is a solicitor too. Not withstanding the fact that they are able to change jobs and skills on a whim.
Lets take Des Browne? He is very adaptable Chief Secretary to the Treasury. Minister of State for Citizenship and Immigration at the Home Offiice. Minister of State for Work at the Department for Work and Pensions Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at The Northern Ireland Office. Mr Browne also tabled the Register of Drug Trafficking Offenders Bill, a private Member's Bill to amend the Misuse of Drugs Act and establish a register of trafficking offenders. So here's the suggestion using a business model. Lets put the governance and system in place and fill it with skilled individuals. Maybe people will vote for me as a skilled economist for a role in government, A strong military background perhaps. Your government knows nothing about you or your life and they certainly know little about their specialist subject or job role. What they do know about is being politicians but that doesn't help us one bit. That's why they constantly meddle and bring in illogical and lunatic policies like the ones we discuss often her and on our blog. Voting in this system is a complete waste of time because there is not a system for real democracy.
comment here is free so if anyone can find a political leader who has any experience whatsoever and i am sure there are some please post here.

Ms Blears fears
As our message slowly filters through you are celebrating another massive landslide in the local elections last week.
In a speech to the Social Market Foundation Ms Blears said the current system was not working - as evidenced in falling voter turnout at elections and the lowest turnouts in the most deprived areas. She added that the rows over MPs' expenses had been damaging and there was a sense "that politics is a tainted activity, something disreputable at best, corrupt at worst" as well as an "overwhelming sense of powerlessness" felt by voters.
Thanks to Ms Bears for her comments but we are nonetheless not powerless as the last local elections showed.
A massive 70% of the electorate decided to abstain from the system ms Blears called "disreputable at best and corrupt at worst" ever the optimist lets just say corrupt at best.
Lets not dwell however on that but on how we intend to utilise the general publics lack of interest in party politics.
Our numbers are growing all the time and our campaign will increase as we head towards the general election. We will continue to take the message forward that your vote does not count and increase our majority even further. Political parties were left to share the scraps and claim power when in fact they are left to split an embarressing 30% of the vote between them.
Ms Blears is doing the maths so why don't we?
Those who chose to vote probably had a realistic choice of one maybe two candidates at best. when it comes to the general election it will be the same. If they happen to be part of a major party as most will then they will follow the party line in most cases. some may even get jobs in the cabinet running massive parts of the countries assets without a single piece of working knowledge of that particular area. They will be advised and lobbied by paid advisers with vested interests from private industries. The real working knowledge of the department will be many levels below the prime ministers lackey who is put in charge because he is his mate. Add to this utter incompetence a level of self regulation that is laughable and it soon becomes apparent that withholding your vote is the only sensible option.

50,000,000,000 pounds in twenties please
50 thousand million pounds?
Where is that money coming from? No I know it came from you but I mean does anyone know where its been all this time. I can imagine the bank who gets a withdrawl from the government is gonna be a bit miffed at paying that out especially if they are still having to fork out to all those customers they defrauded for illegal bank charges. Bugger me thats a lot of money eh.
I mean imagine what you could buy with that. Why you could take all those 5 milion poor people who have just been screwed by Gordon Browns tax changes and say give em all £1,000 each or is it 5,000 i get my zero's mixed up.
You could even buy two extra royal families or another european parliment.
But in the meantime there is 50,000,000,000 extra pounds in the economy but how can that be? how come it doesnt devalue our currency? Who knows because I don't.
The truth is I dont even think it comes out of a bank really, it just kind of gets printed or is a bit like an I.O.U.
But remember this is not about supporting the greedy, illegal, thieving institutions who have earned much more in recent years than 50 billion in profits from you. No this is about supporting the economy and growth.
Whats the UK population at the moment 60 million? I am off to the bank to check my balance.

Free and confidential vote this week
Its election time again and as we expect from this great nation of ours we have the right to a free democratic vote which is our decision and ours alone. After carefully concidering the arguments we place our cross against one of the two maybe three candidates who stand any chance of winning.
We can stand by our decision and its our own private business?
Or is it?
When you go and vote you might like to check out the system. Your electoral card with your name and address etc will be checked against the electoral/credit register. Thats a list of people who have enough money to pay the poll tax but never mind we have had all those arguments.
When that has happened pay attention to what happens next. You are given a numbered voting slip and the number is entered next to your name on the list. Then you go and vote.
Now if I was to go and take your slip out of the polling box and check the number then I can easily find out how you voted.
How is that a confidential vote?
Surely the slip should just be deemed authentic? How come the way we all vote is registered?

Take that to the bank
Ok so things are gonna be tough for the rest of the year. Maybe just two holidays this year or cut back on the mileage, maybe one less business lunch. Buy that long awaited million pound house once the market has stabilised. We can ride it out eh.
That's all well and good and a few quid here and there makes not much of a jot. After all we all reaped whilst the sun shone etc.
All well and good that is unless you are one of the people who actually, physically creates all the wealth in the first place. Just for sake of argument lets call them the low paid. They have no where to go, not very easy to maneuver when you are already rammed against the wall with your arm up your back. If you are one of those who is forced to walk to work so you can buy a packet of heavily taxed fags or maybe take a sweaty sandwich rather than dine in the canteen to save a few shilling. A few quid really hits hard, really hard.
But have no fear help is at hand. Gordon Brown who has managed to take the credit for a natural world wide economic boom over the last ten years will save us all. He has had meetings about how to help boost the housing market. The very same housing market that is NOT included in any inflation figures quoted. (wondered why it felt more like 3%?) The Bank of England will put £15bn more into the banking system. Presumably to help the economy by increasing overtime at the mint? The move is an effort to improve liquidity in the financial markets.
It has now injected more than £50bn since the start of the credit crisis, which was sparked by massive losses for banks who lent in the US sub-prime sector. Yes that's what we said lent, with interest. Banks are actually in it to make money you see and they have been pretty good at it until now. Now its tough they need bailing out with taxpayers money yet again. 50,000 million pounds of your money to bail out the guys whose greed has caused the problem in the first place. No one mentionng how hard it must be paying back all those fraudulant bank charges they hit you with either, never mind throw it in the pot.
The bank of England will cut interest rates to the banks by lending them your money as long as they promise to pass that on to the lenders they are already making money from so that we can borrow some more and they can then make some more money so they can pay it back to the government who can pay it back to you. Simple!
Meanwhile lets go and get the butties made and off to bed, I have get up an hour early so I can walk to work tomorow. Anyone got a light?

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...?

The John Lewis Account
If you didn't have your pitchforks at the ready from the latest round of revelations you will now. Since MP's and the speaker were caught with their hands in the till recently they chose to discuss the matter inanely until it went away. Instead of talking about the crime that was committed they prefer to talk about the law itself.
Now its been revealed that we may get to see all their claims from 2004... Makes you wonder what went on in 2003 eh? Before the shock of that and before you light those torches one MP said "we are being made to feel like crooks" that's because you are. (writs to the usual address and see you in court)
Its now been revealed that the honourable gentleman can claim up to 23,000 quid on a whole range of luxury goods. But there is a simple solution of course and technology has the answer how about just employing a department to upload the whole lot to web pages for perusal by their bosses at any time. By bosses I mean you and me of course and while they are at it why not also put all the party donations on there you too, you could even put links to their business interests to. It would be a system to be proud of and for a fraction of the cost of an MP's second home. In fact I will email the PM right away and see what he thinks.
If you can be bothered here's the highlights of the list, maybe you could print it off and use it to light your torch before we storm Westminster (After getting an appointment of course)
