I notice in the wake of the recent Rage Against the Machine for Xmas no 1 campaign, a few new groups have been spawned from the people power success - noticeably a group called - Rage Against the Politicians.
This is in essence - a growing group of people refusing to vote in the next U.K. election. - something which - I have done for years, so it’s nice to have some like minded people around me.
Politicians and their supporters - will always tell you , that you must vote …..
……. blah… blah… blah ……. but if you remove all the rhetoric , they would , say this - wouldn’t they - as they’d be out of a job if you didn’t vote , which unfortunately is not true , as if only one person in the country voted , no doubt the lucky party in question would still be elected .
There has been a lot of talk about people here in the U.K. voting for The B.N.P ,
who are in essence a hard right group , bordering on the Fascist , or if your American
a good analogy is The Republican Party :) , and this vote is supposedly a protest against mainstream politics.
With all respect to our German friends on here , there’s a very un- politically correct English phrase which goes – “that’s how Hitler got started” - which usually applies to small minded English - bureaucrats , and believe me The B.N.P are far beyond that stage , and you only have to look to any fascist regime as to where that will all end .
Now – the German nation have unfortunately taken that long hard lesson , and that is what definitely , makes them a people – today :)
While unfortunately we in the U.K. have never been subject to Fascism , so in the usual English way - we go and vote B.N.P just to send a message - the problem being that message, is a legally binding , electoral vote - which will be counted - and that is highly dangerous.
So if you really, really want to send a message , and voting is your “ god given right “ - go and vote for the Monster Raving Loony Party , or better still - don’t bother :)
