The last week of political debates in the UK where I night mare for a spectator. There is no surprise if you express concern to your neighbor about the fact that there is no one good to vote for, everyone feels the same. Its been like this for years but now its seems we are used to it and it's only getting worse.
The representatives have no sincerity and no real desire for problem solving. It seems all their positions are simply angling to buy votes from the general public. Its a disgrace. They read prepared line and take themselves so seriously. They couldn't listen to the population if they tried, they'd be thinking about making sure they looked as though they where listening as you spoke. They posture for strength and sensibility and Its clear all just a charade. I think even the teenage first time voters can see this. Look into there eyes it all blank their minds pickle from lives in the sick twisted politics arena. I can't hardly watch the stuff.
The New Zealand Election last year was much the same. it however had a new dash of excitement with Kim Dot com vying to turn his digital fame into political power in an attempt to save himself from the prying arms of the FBI and to uplift the people with his modern ideology and slick we pages. And it was exciting, the media went mad.Kim went made. At Kim's rallies, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange cryticised the prime minister and the NZ government.Kim Dot com broke up with his wife, his house servants turned against him, and He cried on national TV. All before the election. then when he lost Dave Tamahere, the honorable Maori Mana party rebel rat bag didn't get the seat which everyone thought he was born for.
Hopefully we will get a spanner in the works in the UK, it would make good tv. but some how I think this place is a bit to big for that kind of impact. This year at least, however It does seem like a growing trend.i Certainly consider Julian Assange a more credible leader than any other public figure. I guess I'd donate to him on a yearly basis at the level he said was needed.
Certainly I'd rather do that than give the current government more money for policies like, giving teenagers cheap loans to help them move out of home!! I mean you don't have to think about that one long to figure out it bad on so many levels. I was 20 once i know what i would do with the extra cash, and I don't think the land lords really deserve any more government money available so they can raise there bond requirements. Total vote buying. Its a kind of democratic inversion.
internationally though we do have a new kind of leader emerging. Movie stars, musicians and big businessmen seem to have a greater part to play in the world. Names like Arnold Swartzenager, Richard branson, Bill gates. Edward Snowden, Bono, Joe Armstrong, Tom Gable, Lorde!? Could it be George and Amal Clooney, Brad and Angelina?
Russel Brand is even telling us not to vote. He fells the same about these pointless elections. Will they ever change? Our lives are no longer confined to one country. We have an international economy and now we have international currency with Bitcoin. Why not international elections? A Bitcoin president. Rubs against some of the anarchist tendencies of some underground crypto supporters, but maybe they'd change their minds if Henry Rollins could get a seat. i think a voluntary Bitcoin election could be a good thing. especially in light of the splitting of the Bitcoin foundation recently. Even if its influence was minimal at first it would certainly make a great marketing campaign.
Could it be Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Could it be Russel Brand? or is it that girl who does the bitcoin youtube videos? Either way would be much keener to participate in a Crypto Election than to the circus that we have now.
I say we make a new election for someone who we really like.
