I tend not to involve myself much with politics. I'm an avid reader of the left and right, but after hours, I often feel that this huge mass of debate is created by man, quasi-true and not pure, satisying, and without material substance for a timeless good.
Everyone seems to say politics is very important. In my case, I'll do whatever I have to do, and forego thinking and getting worked up about politics because there are too many greater pursuits out there than a petty attachment to someone's manifesto which will always remain one person's godsend and another's downfall. Politics at a national level is a man made problem, inherently unsolvable, and really not worth wondering too much about. If my country goes extremist, then I feel I might have a say for some greater good, but otherwise, it's a simple choice between a set of clowns with nice suits who converse very well. If one of these clowns can save me a few hundred pounds in taxes, that's great, if they don't, then that's fine too, I would have spent it anyway on music, travel or entertaining myself and others!
Sometimes, a voter is faced with the decision to abstain from voting. I don't believe it's right to abstain, but I also believe that a layman's understanding is usually fine to vote to a moderate level of confidence. Above all the hype surrounding the British General Election, there's people who don't care less. I'd rather go on holiday!
Yeah, my shoutbox has been down for a while because it's host has measles. It should be up soon! I had a great time in Nottingham for a few days on training.
