A Can Do Society & British Bulldog Spirit

In these hard times
A time of recession
A threat to ones Jobs
A threat to ones pensions.

We are told to be prudent
And manage on less
A time for austerity
To get us out of a mess.

You are expecting alot
From those unemployed
And those losing their jobs
Will certainly be annoyed.

You Can Do it
If you are well off
Like a P.M. or a banker
Who won’t lose his job

To have a Bulldog spirit
Is certainly a big ask
Not for those who can
But especially for those who can’t

A Can Do society
And a Bulldog Spirit
Are alright for those
Who can afford to be in it.

D.M Jackson.

This is a poem that im sure alot of you share the same thoughts. Its very easy for David Cameron to say that we should have a can do attitude, when hes getting a pay rise. He can easily live within his means unlike many people in this country. /Rant

After weeks of boring TV debates, loads of election leaflets through my door, the election is finally coming to an end.

This election is unlike many others as the Liberal Democrats seem to be in with a chance, making it a three horse race, but who will be first past the post?? Im not sure, but whoever gets in better sort the country out. The last thing we want is riots like Greece.

This election has hung parliment all over it. Do you think this is a good or a bad thing? Leave a comment with your response.

If you havent already voted get down to your local polling station, most close at 10 P.M.

Let’s face it, if you haven’t yet here’d or seen anything about the UK General Election 2010 you must be lying under a rock in the Sahara desert.

The way I see it is that every single party is the same, they all promise this and that but when they get into power the promises are not fulfilled. Being a first time voter, everything is new to me, Im going to vote with an open mind, I will be voting based on the things I feel effect me, like student tuition fees and the duty on petrol.

What I find very interesting about this election is how the different parties have embraced social networking, by using social mediums such as youtube, facebook and twitter. It seems that whoever manages to blag his way through the TV debates, gains the lead. This is what worries me, people are just basing their vote on who looks the best on TV, without really looking at the policy. The TV debates have reached around 4 million viewers each debate with Nick Clegg ‘winning’ the first debate and David Cameron ‘winning’ the second debate, but the TV debates are very sugar coated.
I’m still un-decided, but no matter what happens on May the 6th, there needs to be a change for good.

Check out the poll on the right hand side.
