Oh what a difference fifteen years makes. What did Dave 'Plank' Camerlot want in 2009? He wanted change.Yes!!
What is Steer Calmer selling in 2024? Change.
And that's it. Crammed into those fifteen years 0f the Ukraine cease-fire betrayals, the attempts to scuttle Brexit, the bioweapon scandals surounding Biden and Zelenskyy, the Covid 19 virus that killed one human in 20,500, the "vaccine'' that produced the greatest rise in early death in modern history, and rampant 9/11 clone Zionism in Gaza, both main parties have reached the conclusion they want Change.
No shit. I want change too....ermmm, I just want a few reassurances here. For starters, I'd like to have some free-speech leaders rather than parrots squawking out the same drivel we've been hearing since before my grandchildren were born.
I'm an ex-adman, right? OMG, the lowest of the low. But let me tell you something: the reason I never worked on the account of any political party is very simple: I never met a single one who wanted to live up to their promises; and equally, I was forever suspicious of the fact that only political advertising was exempt from the legal requirement of the Advertising Standards Authority to prove a client's claims.
If that isn't privilege far beyond the rule of Law, then what is?
Choosing the exact same taglines fifteen years apart (and not even bothering to check the risible resemblance to the enemy's previous efforts at brainless inanity) tell us all in the UK electorate, as we approach the General Election tomorrow, the message we should send out to everyone employed in the political and bureaucratic classes.
I believe that - and I never thought the day would come when I would write this - we should hold a General Voting Strike.
That is to say, we Brits should unite [at last] and tell these corrupt avian-brained pretenders that they are not worthy of our precious vote - that we do not respect them in any way, and thus we shall vote to ignore their ridiculous claim to represent us in any practical way whatsover.
The electoral system we have is bad enough in that it demands we give 100% support to candidates not chosen by us in an 18th century Rotten Borough farce where at best we have 100% doubt in our hearts about the motives of Sir Handlebar-Bethune Hohenzellern.
At the moment, we are not allowed to actively abstain by selecting on the ballot card 'None of the above'.
But here's a target anyway: in the UK's general election of 2019, voter turnout was 67.3 percent, a 1.5 percent drop compared with the previous non-event. Turnouts have been going down in the past three general elections. 2001 saw the lowest voter turnout since records began – hitting below the 60% mark for the first time. 2005 only saw an increase of 1.6%.
Or put another way, all that's required to render a UK General election morally invalid - as a majority-based democracy this Thursday - is sixteen disgusted citizens per 100 to withhold their vote in an act of disapproval that would be anything but passive.
What I'm suggesting here is that the validity of an "elected" legislature should, eventually be rigorously put to the test of a functioning judiciary in a econstitutional context. In the meantime, DON'T TAKE PART.
Try not to laugh too loud. Humour me -
DON'T GIVE THEM THE RESPECT OF YOUR VOTE: THEY DON'T DESERVE IT. THE REVOLUTION STARTS HERE.
