Cover your ears. Apathetic Politics

Yeah well, Labour seems to be continuing its trend of getting increasingly right wing...
I didn't send my registration to vote back to the council. I won't get a voting card in Derby.
And I don't care. None of the three parties with a chance of getting into power actually interest me any more. The policies change on a daily basis, none of the leaders have the charisma to actually encourage me they'd be best PM (except the Lib Dems, who now HAVE no leader), and nothing has been done in the past few years that gives me any faith in our political system.
It's all so reactionary from my point of view. One party will do something and the others will turn around and say "Well we were going to do that anyway" or "Well we think that's a crap idea and we'll hound you about it for the next few years if you bother going ahead with it". None have any core policies that I can see - I'd personally go as far to say not one of the major three has a set of policies that they'd refuse to go back on if push came to shove. Hell Brown's even gone back on running an ELECTION this year because of these stupid arguments. A GENERAL ELECTION.
Worrying enough, the only party I know of in this country with that kind of hard line "This is our way" type of policy I respect in poltics... is the BNP. So therefore, I'm refusing to vote until something is done to rectify that godawful situation.
Says I. A taxpayer.
