Charade just keeps floating

Sir — I’ll do this, I’ll do that, we can make this/that happen, I promise you this and that — it’s all rubbish. What is actually being done?

I don’t claim to know much about politics, but at the rate things are moving it’s not exactly hard to keep up as nothing seems to be happening. All sitting on their leather benches with their fancy attire, driving their elegant cars with their handsome salaries and pensions — and for doing what exactly? Squabbling with each party trying to gain oneupmanship? It’s an absolutely ridiculous carry-on, and the sort of thing you would see in primary school.

I find it downright cheeky of them to keep expecting to get away with this charade — then, on the other hand, we are no better either.

Do-gooders are saying this that and the other — and they are also doing nothing.

This country does not like change. “Ah, sure — it’ll be grand.” It’s not grand — homelessness, house prices, justice system — it’s all a complete farce! Reform is needed. I’m not sure how or where it is going to come from, but I know it’s essential in order to stop this rollercoaster of ignorance, complete disregard and incompetence to the situation we are all in.

Instead of saying “this idea is flawed, I have reservations”, just try something.

If it doesn’t work, raise your hand and say it didn’t work, or say what needs to be changed.

I’m not sure why I’m even writing this — I’ll probably just stay on this unsteered ship that we are all passengers on, all contributing nothing!
