politicking


Back again, for the seventh holiday in this fisherman's cottage, fortunately he is no longer needs it.
They are building an Art gallery down by the shore, the locals are furious as it will be on top of their coach park - who will buy the fish and chips and ride on the carousel? The Worthies obviously have a different clientele in mind.
We are here for two weeks and already I can feel my shoulders relaxing - sunshine, doggie walks and lovely food - remarkable that we are still in England, if only clinging to a Southern edge.
The cottage has been equipped with a new TV and digi-box thing so we have been able to keep up with the political machinations, it all seems so craven, crawling up to Cleggie offering him goodies if only he will play nice.
How can the Tories just fold and reverse their statement that they do not believe in Proportional Representation?
I think the Lib Dems are mad if they hitch up to either, the Tories should just go with their minority government and see what comes...............but there again what do i know, I am on holiday.

What a lovely place for a vacation. I HATE politics with the fire of a thousand suns. Maybe they're more interesting there than they are in the U.S., but watching them here makes me depressed. After awhile I realize that regardless of party affiliation, etc. that they're all the same and somehow, in the future they will find a reason to raise taxes. The only differences are who is funding the candidates and who will end up eventually getting my money. Anyway, hope you get away from the t.v. and enjoy that lovely village. Cheers!
