OK no great preamble – the Election. Most of you know politics is my hobby and most of you know I am a socialist. I also voted to remain so I guess I am not someone who the Daily Mail cares deeply about. I have decided to to limit my political contribution to this election to one and one only – this one. I shall not be voting Labour at this election. Nothing on earth could persuade me to back the hapless wight who holds the title of Leader of the Labour Party. He is an innocent abroad in a den of hobbledehoys. The only reasion anyone follows him is out of self interest or an idle sense of curiosity. So Labour cannot rely on my vote. Of the rest, while there is a bit of a leaning towards the Lib Dems, its short and dismissed quickly. The thought of any of their front bench pontificating again on how effective they were in coalition with the evil Cam/Osborne era is utterly vomit making both in tone and in truthfulness. SNP are entertaining but not many candidates in rural Suffolk, besides which, like the slippery Salmon, the scaly Sturgeon has displayed an inability to change bets when it becomes obvious that you picked the wrong horse. She cannot do any better than 2015 and any lessoning will kill the devolution agenda again. Who is left – Nigel the Gnome? – whilst an avid follower of politics, I am also a Christian and to wish that poisoned little turd on anyone is a mortal sin so great that there could be no absolution. Comes down to Ms May or abstaining. Abstaining is easy but actually I think Ms May has shown some real cleverness in calling the election when she can. Took the plunge and called it (listening Gordon?) an infantryman’s ambush if I ever saw one. Caught the rest on the hop without any reason not to overturn the 5 year election bill and will have frightened the EU out of their panties. They never saw it coming and she comes out of it with a personal mandate to negotiate Brexit. I also suspect she will go to the country having completely junked Osbornes Austerity Manifesto and will deliver an old style  Tory “One Nation” manifesto that might conceivably slash the overseas development budget and put some more rifles on the ground (or GBAD SAM’s for RAF Bases). Its nice to take a long view of aiding developing countries and with little on the direct threat against the UK, it was also a good idea, but now that Vladimir has developed some delusions of the old USSR, its a bit late to be trying the diplomatic game. Get some bayonets on the ground. Mrs May is a very clever politician and I have no doubt that, as in all things, its about timing and she has timed it to perfection. Maggie needed a war in the S Atlantic to get this sort of lead. Corbynn is obviously the Galtieri equivalent. He will suffer the same fate. She has shown that she is not afraid to take decisions and show leadership by delivering what the country voted for. I didn’t not agree but it is obvious that she has chosen to follow the script left for her. It would be entirely ironic that we get her, a very astute lady, after one of the worst PM’s in British history and his poodle George. She might get my vote and thats all I will write on it.
