I have followed politics loosely for many years, but over the past five years I firmly believe I could run this country better!
The problem is there are too many people making decisions on single policy and no one can make a decision, sometimes hard decisions have to be made and guess what, sometimes, they are for the better other times they may not work, but at least we know then what doesn’t and then they/we can make a decision to see what will. – Common sense really.
Policies and real life are on a different level from each other, they should work harmoniously.
We need someone who fair, tough and frankly someone who will give us a yes or no answer instead of the long winded thinking process behind the answer and then they avoid answering the question altogether!!
I am in my early thirties, I am worldly wise and very street wise, I didn’t go to a private school, but I have gone through university to attain a degree, I have chosen not to waste any more time at university gaining a Masters or PHD. I have also worked for central government for a short time and I came to the shocking conclusion that they really don’t know what the hell they’re doing, well certain sectors anyway, but if that is true for that particular department, then it is deeply disturbing.
There’s so much dislocation between the people doing the work and the people making the decisions. The general public really are powerless, unless policy touches a nerve, forget it, it will quietly pass by. Local councils have better structure than central government and they are slightly over-staffed but also, sadly, underfunded.
This government is hemorrhaging money, the pound is dropping in value, the cost of living is increasing, the cost of fuel is sky-rocketing, houses prices for first time buyers are out of many peoples range, it does indeed look like we will fall back in to recession. I may paint a dark picture, but things are not that bad, it just needs tweeking to be made efficient before things get any worse.
I believe the Conservatives will make things worse, Labour will keep the UK in the same state, it may get better, but probably worse, the Liberal Democrats could be the answer… There are no other credible contenders.
Something has got to give, things have to change, a quick change will make the UK suffer, so it will take time.
