As voted for by YOU!
And people say democracy in the UK is not broken?
Either the blues or the reds get voted in, despite more people actually not voting for them. Some vague waffle on their manifesto and in press conferences about how everything will be wonderful. Then do whatever they absolutely fscking want when they get in because they feel they have a mandate, advised by the usual crew of blazer-wearing eunuchs and history of art degrees.
I despair. I really do. The Great British public had a chance to modernise with the referendum on AV (though not perfect, still better than FPTP IMO) but they p1ssed it away.
Constant coalition politics, so loonies on both sides are kept in check, preventing the vague lurch of Tories<->Labour, encourages long-term strategy instead of getting through until the next election, might even encourage constructive debate in Parliament instead of the school playground bickering you normally see between Gov and opposition. A legislative cycle of 2-3 years, parties submit the exact diffs of the legislation they wish to change/add. It is then voted on by the people who will be governed by that legislation, then changes merged or rejected.
... Or something like that, I've not figured out the details. Just vote batfastad in as your great leader overlord and it will all be wonderful. I promise.
On a less-ranty note, who the heck is paying for all this? Oh, me, you etc as usual. Cheers May, you witch.
