Whatever you do - don't vote!

As we all know, next year there is going to be a general election so whatever happens I will not be voting for any of the main three parties and if anyone does bother to read this I would urge you to do the same.
I have just finished reading yesterday's newspaper which I have been too busy to read until this afternoon. Yet again there are more stories about MP's expenses and how some of them are 'maxing out' on the John Lewis list before the closing deadline. How they have the bare faced cheek to claim all this money is beyond many of us honest and upright citizens. They are already paid salaries in excess of those of most average people and yet they are still unable to run this country with any degree of success. I think at the moment we as a country are in debt to the tune of £800 billion, and Gordon Brown has just pledged £1.5 billion towards the climate change fund. Meanwhile the politicians are doing very nicely claiming more in expenses than most normal mortals earn in a year, the bankers who were also partly responsible for the mess we're in are going to get their bonuses which are the equivalent of a lottery win for the rest of us.
As if that wasn't enough, they are now going to 'freeze' some of the pensions that many people who are already on the breadline receive. Yes, they are giving pensioners a 2.5% increase n the basic state pension but lets face it, 2.5% of sod all is still not enough for pensioners to meet the ever increasing costs of fuel, food, council taxes etc..
One thing is quite plain, politicians currently serving in Westminster seem to be there to feather their own nests at the expense of the rest of us and don't appear to have any conscience.
When the election does come round we will all be bombarded by leaflets, newsletters and flyers from an assortment of parties and they will all be claiming that they can improve our lives and make a better job of running the country. Well, I for one will not be taken in. We never see anyone one the doorsteps or out in the streets canvassing anymore so that we can ask them questions to their face, they all seem to be anonymous. If any well known politician visits an area in order to drum up support for an unknown candidate of their party, the audience is usually an invited one so that heckling can be avoided.
Well. I shall definitely be voting tactically and for any potential or serving politician thinking of knocking on my door expecting my support.....BEWARE, you may well wish you hadn't!
