Safe Seaters - don't they make you madder than a wet hen in a hailstorm? Not a new baby buggy, I"m talking greedy politicians sitting back and raking in our cash simply because they have friends in the right places.
A safe seat means they can't lose. With their 20,000 majority guaranteed by the careful drawing up of boundaries there is no need to do anything other than turn up to claim the prize.
Makes me want to spit. It's only in the marginals that anybody bothers to rouse themselves. Labour are saying they can get fewer votes across the country than anyone else and STILL WIN! Whatever your politics are, that should make us all seriously angry. Every vote should count. It would - if we were to concern ourselves with getting the best in to do the job. Whichever party, doesn't matter. As it is, too many vote for the one their dad voted for. Or worse, don't vote at all.
It's not a democracy and if it was happening in a third world country we would be sending our election overseers in to sort it out and denounce a corrupt regime. Course, there's no corruption among our lot, is there?
