Note – I authored this piece, discussion and criticism more than welcome, thanks!
Can’t really offer much discussion as I agree with everything written, but it was well written and I enjoyed it (as much as a very depressing topic can be enjoyed). I’m 39 and feel that corruption in politics has been the norm for as long as I can remember but I’m still clinging on to some hope that a labour government will be able to do some good despite campaigning on being centrist. If they win and don’t start making improvements then I’ll have no reason to believe things can ever get better and then what’s left to me, despair?
As an englishman I do take some comfort from the Welsh and Scottish politicians, it seems like they’re doing a better job of serving the people than the English politicians.
I think you might have used their instead of there here: “The very concept of their being”
Thank you for the kind words. I’m probably a little more pessimistic than you, but I’ll say I’m absolutely with you on hoping that an incoming labour government, even if it’s more right-wing than I would prefer, would be good (Or at the very least ‘better’) for the UK. Time will tell, I’m sure I’ll have more to complain about.
Well spotted on that error, fixed it now, appreciate it!
And suddenly, Guelph!
