The recent 'blacking out' of MP's expenses has confirmed all that has long been thought about the political parties of Britain. Fraud, theft and corruption to name only a few of the possible words to describe politics in 21st Century Britain. All we have are words, where is the action? It would appear that Gordon Browns days are numbered in office if he does the honorable deed of stepping down before the country loses all faith in the Labour party, a party which has the potential to do a great deal of good in areas where it is much needed.But here we have the Conservative party, a party which has spent so much time feeding on the failures of the Labour party that they appear to have no idea what they will do if they get into office.
Posters, snappy slogans and witty put-downs may just enough for the Conservatives to claw their way to victory, but to what end?
I propose if a party wishes to win the next election, whoever that party may be. They should stop with this 'school-yard pettiness' and instead put their money where their mouth is. Many small towns in Britain are in need of help, poor education, anti-social behavior and poverty is not as small an issue as we would be made to believe, i would like to see a party take one of these towns, use the money they would use for their campaigns and the many millions many of the parties have and show that they can make a difference. The party which can turn a town into a 'political showroom' a place which demonstrates the party effectiveness and ability will have my vote and i believe the votes of the rest of Britain.
