So, the wives are out supporting their ‘men’!
What an insult to most reasonably intelligent women to think that a pregnant wife who buys her clothes at Top Shop and Marks and Spencer will bolster the female vote! But no, sorry! That is not why Samantha Cameron (I refuse to join the ranks of those who have dubbed her Sam Cam, Glam Cam or any other (S)Cam!) is parading herself around visiting the underprivileged, it is purely coincidence that she chooses to do it now during the election campaign!
However I do have sympathy for Sarah Brown. She seems totally out of her depth,so dutifully following her ‘man’ around. Although, that said, I do believe she is doing it for the right reasons. She doesn’t seem to have the luxury of shopping at Top Shop or Marks and Spencer’s though does she? More Oxfam or Help the aged maybe?
Now, what of Mrs. Clegg? Elegant, beautiful and a lawyer! She does seem to have the balance right. Supportive but ‘not in your face’. Clever tactics? Or, a genuine respect for the intelligence of the voting public?
We are not voting for the wives or the younger and / or better looking candidate or the one that tells the most plausible lie. We are voting for the person who can most quickly and efficiently get society as a whole back on track- or we should be!
There is a lot of talk about ‘affordable housing’ but this is only for those who can somehow scrape together a deposit to buy a home. And, on immigration, no one should deny someone sanctuary or even the right to live and work in this country but there should be more stringent rules and regulations. Crime should be tackled with stiffer sentences and penalties. And as for the child benefit system, what a nice little earner that is! But, of course, that in itself is not the only thing that is bleeding the coffers dry is it? MP’s expenses (have we forgotten already?) Defence, funding two wars we shouldn’t have got involved in in the first place. The Olympic village, (no, apologies again, it will bring in jobs and revenue. Yeah right!) It’s funny you know, there is always money in the pot for all manner of things but not for some of the important things like the NHS for instance. I could go on but you get the picture.
It all sounds very simple doesn’t it? Of course I know it is not that simple but I am not a politician in charge of the country. You would think someone who is would have the wit and the will to implement these changes .They can’t even talk a good talk any more! So for goodness sake don’t continue to be fooled any longer. They are not ‘one of us’, They do not live as the majority of us live, despite their inane efforts to convince us otherwise. This is an election campaign, they all put forward the same lies at this time, visiting homeless shelters, the disabled, hospitals etc. etc. etc. and of course, not forgetting ‘the ignored’. Did they not know they were there before? And if they did why has it taken so long for someone to find a solution?
