Time for an(other) election!

Yay!

Another day, another vote, this time a whole big General Election.

Oh, the days and weeks of endless bullshit that the majority of politicians will pedal to the UK.

So our current PM, who is showing an uncanny and determined skill in trying to ensure that she got in charge and now remains so, is going directly against all the comments she has made before, blaming the main opposition, the EU, and anyone who DARES to question her for the need to go to the polls.

What she doesn't want to admit is that based on current opinion polls she should win an even bigger majority, meaning she won't have to deal with her own back benchers to get her policy through. This election is not about the Brexit negotiations, it's not about (SOUND BITE ALERT!) "strong and stable government", it's about our PM doing what's best for her and her determination to remain as PM.

As we haven't even begun the exit negotiations it's alarming how little clue the ministers for the UK have about what needs to be addressed. It's incredulous to believe that the ministry for Brexit have published summary trade graphs that support the position that the UK has benefited from being a part of the IEC and later EU. That the same department then publishes another graph showing how many countries the UK trades with and every single one of them are covered, in some way, as either being part of the EU, having trade agreements with the EU, being part of the single market, or applying to join.

There is no debate because those most strongly for leaving do not want to deal in fact, but in "alternative truth". When you want to say "black is white and white is black" that is not "an alternative truth". That is a lie, or an indication of stupidity or some mental condition that requires diagnosis.

All the pro-remain people posting on social media are not going to make a difference. Those who are not keen to share their stance will hide it, those who are willing to share their stance will not discuss their reasons but just shout them. Case in point was the pensioner who yelled at Tim Farron, there was no fact in what he was yelling but he was passionate and determined. He would not engage in debate or discussion because deep down he (and the majority of them) know that their stance is not supported by noise of their shouting, so they must shout louder to ensure that they're understood. It's a classic British was of communicating to people in other languages, don't speak the local language just speak LOUDER. Unfortunately shouting doesn't make what you say any more sensible, just highlights that there's something wrong with what you're saying....

Once this election and disastrous negotiation is complete, the politicians must be held to account. And the public? They will just bare the consequences, and those consequences will be felt.....
