I really hope that people take the responsibility of choosing what they want for this country next time, but I really don't think it will happen. I hope that the American election and the record numbers of turn out have inspired the apathetic generation that we are in this country, to get up off our arses and take the privilege that we have been given.

You're right about our politicians, they are the older generation, and Lib Dems leader Clegg is probably the youngest, but people struggle to remember his name - I only managed his surname - and we do vote governments out as opposed to voting a new inspired party in, which is sad, but just shows that we are tired of the way things are going and that attitude 'it can't get any worse, so lets give the others a chance'. Sad but true.

Apologies for answering your comment to my post here, but I promise it's relevant! I get that traditionally, Labour are for the working class and Conservatives for the rich and aim to make them richer. However, with the recent things the Labour party have done - abolishing the 10p tax band being the main one - you don't get that sense about the Labour party now. That said the idea of a Conservative government scares me slightly, what scares me more is I've found the things coming out of Cameron's mouth sounding reasonable. I know my sister is voting conservative this time 'just to get Labour out', which, as you said, seems to be the norm. I just wish we could be iinspired to be proud of our country, and be allowed to be patriotic as well.

Sorry if I waffled, especially as I didn't mention November the 5th at all, but on that note, have you watched V for Vendetta? I highly recommend you watch it. It's based around the gunpowder plot and is about the corruption in government and brainwashing and it's fantastic.

Have a good day, mate :D
