I avoid politics like the plague. Not that I don’t think it’s important to vote, I most certainly do – after all, people died so we can vote. But the state of our current political parties means I can’t bring myself to support any of them. The lies, scandal, deceit, self-centred egos and general corruptness of spirit are so rife across the board, there’s simply no one to vote for these days. It’s like a massive popularity contest with the main players seeking to entertain and please as many voters as possible. It’s so bad I might as well stand myself. Oh for the days of Tony Benn or Ken Clarke…
