The Cost Of Democracy

Friends and readers. We come into this world with nothing and it’s almost a certainty we will leave with nothing, even Ladbrokes will not offer you odds on that one. But in between time all we can do is our best and if that’s not good enough then what else is there.

A new financial world order is evolving which we are all just bit part players in,  at the mercy of bankers and politicians that have everthing else but the interests of the people at heart. All we the people can do is watch from the sidelines spectators of the game being played out before us, the result of which is way beyond our control or even having an influence on.

Politicians come and go like the seasons of the year but the decisions they take can effect the masses for many years to come and all we have is an X in a box once every so often. The real power lies in the ability to create events and control the outcome, this has for the most been in the hands of the self interest greed of the financial world who have controled world financial events keeping poor countries poor so natural resources could be exploited with little or no resistance from their populations. Helped by corrupt Governments who lined their own pockets peoples lives have been bought and sold on the open markets slaves to the beat of the bankers drums powerless to act or take any kind of control of their lives.

Now in this harsh financial climate these poverty stricken countries are further in the mire as the loan sharks of the financial world tighten the noose round the necks of populations barely able to feed themselves.

Right here in Britain our own living standards in comparison far greater than some of these poorer nations have taken a battering with rising unemployment, home repossesions on the increase job opportunities limited and the future of our young people hanging in the balance, and nothing but meaningless words to the people  and handouts to the city from our elected politicians.

No grand plan to pull this problem round in fact no plan at all just wait and see and hope the climate picks up before the voters go to the polls in May. The alternative we face is a clone of nightmare on elm street with Cameron poised to slash the Torries pet hate the public sector, and throw thousands more onto the dole queues.

Dosen’t this clown realise that we need to invest in our infrastructure and it’s people if we are to pull this round and forget about handing out tax cuts to his wealthy backers and then tax the rest of us for the pleasure of paying for it. For those who remember the last Tory Government it’s deja vue and more of the same from this lot of blinkered fools.

Once more the people will be at the mercy of the whims and fancies of politicians only this time Cameron is telling you what his mob if elected will do cut jobs and services give tax breaks to his mates and make the rest of us poor mugs pay for it, and this lot are ahead in the opinion polls, what does that tell us, possibly the stupidity of the average voter or the total incompetence of the present lot or who knows maybe both.

Meanwhile back in reality avenue the rest of us just watch events unfold around us hoping we can stave off the hooded devil of hard times and the bottomless pit of nothingness.

Oh of course we have an election to look forward to and if we are really unlucky we can add total obscurity to that nothingness.
