What I find odd about the current opinion polls is that the indications are that the Labour party still has the support of 25% of the electorate. What is going on? Who are these people?
And then, I worked it out. We have functional illiteracy within our benighted population which is at present in the area of 25% thanks to decades of useless liberal/left education policies. Is the plan coming together? Are we finally witnessing the "triumph of the will"? I fear so.
The creation of a state in which there is a bolus of voters who are completely dependent upon the government for their jobs, their housing, their transportantion and, most importantly, their opinions is surely the triumph of the left. All, for them, has become politicized. Unhappily, so it has for the rest of us.
And look at the state in which we find ourselves. Tucked away down here in the countryside, The Backwoodsman talks politics a great deal and is sad to report that the state of morale among hard-working honest people has never been lower. For while they acknowledge that this miserablist administration is doomed, not to return in our lifetimes, the mess they have left (and will leave - it's not over yet!) behind them may take a generation to sort out, at unimaginable cost. They hate the disease, but they fear the cure even more. They cast their minds back to 1997 and wonder:
"What the **** happened?"
But it must be done. I have, by the way, formed a policy with which to address those who profess 'disappointment' with New Labour. I conclude that if they are disappointed then they must have voted for them at least once. In which case, I will never feel the need to speak to them again, for they have committed an act which borders on treason.
