Someone has said this a lot more eloquently than me but I think we've nearly all been disgusted by the bankers and their huge bonuses, how they crashed the economy and got away scot-free (still getting bonuses more than most of us earn in a year).. huge corporations like Starbucks not paying hardly any tax.. billionaires paying virtually nothing in tax using loopholes to sidestep the taxes that cripple low income families. People like "Sir Shifty" Philip Green have robbed our economy and retail workers pensions for their own gain. He had to be practically begged to reimburse minimum wage workers who had being paying into pension pots for years. Legally he was able to get away with it seemingly.
We finally have a politician who has spent his whole career challenging these injustices and we have the opportunity to give him a chance as our prime minister. He's also against wars, both the senseless deaths and ludicrous expense. If we stop bombing the Middle East we might find we are not being targeted by extremists, or certainly that these arguments are no longer valid and a recruitment tool to radicalise.
One thing is for sure the 25 yrs or so of Gulf wars have not brought about peace or improved anything. In fact, Libya is far worse now than under Gadaffi's rule. I'm fed up of consecutive governments (Tony Blair included) of engaging in wars apparently on our behalf when virtually no one agrees with it. I hope others want a change as much as I do and will vote accordingly today.I fail to see how the Tories will change anything. It will be the usual looking after their mates, selling arms, senseless wars, privatisation of public services and the divide between rich and poor will continue to widen..
