Does anyone else think that politics is essentially the art of picking the lesser of two evils?
I was in a canteen earlier with a TV on, and on the TV was David Cameron talking about how "No one will trust Labour ever again". He was spiteful, arrogant, rude and gave a fair deal of what I would consider misinformation. I thought to myself "Is this really the best person we could pick to lead our country?"
But then I thought to myself "Who is the alternative?". Ed Miliband. I dislike him far more than I do David Cameron. I don't like his politics and I've never really gotten along with his personality. I wouldn't vote for him to govern the country either.
And then I thought back to the last election when I went to the voting booth, looked at the candidates, and thought that I didn't want any of these parties to govern the country. In the end I picked Liberal Democrats as I thought they would be the least worst of the parties. I didn't want to vote for them, I voted for them purely because I didn't want my vote to go to the others.
Right now in UK politics there is no one that I would be enthusiastic in giving my vote to, and I find that to be a rather depressing thought.
What do you guys think?
