Before we start, it is only fair that I share with you a simple fact; my understanding of politics is severely limited – at best. I’ve always had a mild fascination, but never enough to force myself to pay that much attention to the ‘inner workings’ of Government.
I am a labour supporter, and despite everything I will continue to be. I find the Conservative Party to be full of ‘toffs’, and I simply can’t relate to that. Having said that, Gordon Brown is not a great leader. He has no charisma (just ask the Americans what a guy with a bit of charisma can do for you!), and lacks any form of personality. Compared to David Cameron though, he’d get my vote every time.
My focus in this article though, is on politics as a whole. The whole system seems outdated to me, and that’s why the general public are often left feeling alienated.
Watching Prime Minister’s Questions (or PMQs) is like watching a bunch of children arguing – albeit with a more expansive vocabulary!
It leaves me pondering; would you find the same scene in the boardrooms of huge companies up and down the country?
I think not. Companies are run by adults, whereas our country is run by children…….
I’m not implying that Chief Executives and Managing Directors are saints. We all know that is not true, and I’m sure there is a comparable level of dishonesty and deceipt in both parliament and the boardroom.
To be continued……….
