I'm an anarcho-syndicalist that rejects the executive authority of our head of state claimed by the mandate of some watery tart offering a sword.

I guess, to take it a little more seriously (must we? Yes we must. Okay then) I don't really have terribly strong political views. In our last general election I voted for Sinn Fein (Republican Party, Gerry Adams, all that lot) simply because I was sick of voting for one of the Big Three (well, two: I would never vote for Fianna Fail. You have to be Irish to understand) and thought feck it let's see how they do. I didn't expect them to win (they didn't) but I still felt better for not going for the obvious.

Other than that, I pretty much see all politicians and political parties as painted with the same brush. One gets into power, the other bitches at their policies then when the positions are reversed they do the very same thing, while the original party, now in opposition, bitch about the new party's policies, which were theirs in the first place. It'd be funny if they weren't deciding our fate, setting our wages and shutting our hospitals!

But I know this is not exclusive to Ireland. It just makes me not want to vote. I do, but it makes me not want to. Seems very little choice, lesser of two or three evils, with the captain's armband, as it were, being passed around but the same team in control all the time.

Bloody politicians!

I usually just vote Labour over here. National however, have come in a **** over our country to serve the rich and make everyone else poorer.

I think the whole republican/democrat/independent scenario is all BS. Ever since Obama's first running into office in 2008, America's been so divided.

"I'm a Republican"
"I'm a Democrat"
"Well fuck you then!"

I actually experienced a confrontation with a grown ass man that said that to me.

You know Slow Groove, I understand your animosity when politics and government are concerned. I wish there was something I could tell you but I know exactly how you feel man. That was my first reaction also, but I somehow eventually came around and realized I could at least voice my opinion. It sure can not make things any worse off than they seem to be sometimes.

There is a lot of grown adolescents out there as well.

like, I get what people say when they say they don't care about politics but they don't realise how ****ing privileged they are to be able to say **** like that.

And that bothers me. I want no part of any people like that.

The world doesn't revolve around you, *******s.
