Election 2010: The Lesser of Three Evils?

Okay...

So lets assume that my grand plan to take over parliament with independent MP's doesn't work this time round. Whats the best of the worst case scenario's?

I have to admit that Nick Clegg has a point. We have had nearly a century of pillar to post politics. Perpetually waxing and waning from blue to red. A two party system. No one is saying we now have a three party system, indeed the system is designed to accommodate two parties. The issue is; which two parties will it be after May 6 2010?

Gordon Brown has proven he is a bungling moron, as well intentioned as he may be, we all know that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. His room in that fiery hotel in the depths of oblivion has been ready for his arrival for some years now. His chances of getting out of this election with anything more than the title "cyanide for the labour party" will be an achievement for the deluded fool.

The labour party was formed in a different world when men were men and women knew it. Those days are long gone, they have been for over two decades at least. Tony Blair pulled a psychological wonder stroke by making Labour seem viable again in 1997. A little re-branding "new labour" and I was fooled, along with many of my fellow countrymen, I'll admit it. I know i wont let the betrayal that was the years after '97 go unpunished, i also know i can never trust the labour party again, i can only hope that my fellow countrymen feel the same.

Moving on to David Cameron. Slimy anyone? For me the problem here is trust again. It looks from the outside looking in that Cameron is saying what he thinks people want to hear. I hear what he says and I'm left feeling empty inside. Cameron is like a poor Chinese copy of Tony Blair, shipped over by the Tories for a bargain while the pound was still strong.

One thing is certain. There will be no real change in this country if Mr Cameron is PM, his approach may seem different but the end goals are clearly; "more of the same".

And so... We find ourselves looking at Nick Clegg through squinted eyes as we try to work him out in the short space of time left before May 6th. If change is what is required for Britain, then logically the liberal Democrats are the best choice from the three options. In a time when the only real class system left in Britain is the rich versus the poor, perhaps its time for the liberal Democrats to take their rightful place as one of the two official parties in our age old two party system.

Perhaps the labour party will be consigned to the history books like the century that saw its birth.
