An alternative view on Politics
So the UK come’s out of Thursday’s election in a hung parliament and quite frankly, an embarrassment to the rest of the World. Only the UK could have a ‘first past the post’ system, and we are now left with no-one running the Country!! Maybe that’s a blessing in disguise! In any other Democracy the winner when all the votes are counted would govern the Country, but hey ho, this is the UK.
So when the dust settles, and I don’t mean the Volcanic Ash cloud that is still threatening the travel industry, we maybe left with a coalition Government between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems.
I did however, receive the below email in the week which made me chuckle, as it’s kinda true!
An alternative view on Politics!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’
Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The Prime Minister.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night,! he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his nappy.
So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and see s his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say’s to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. ‘
The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’
The little boy replies, ‘The prime Minister is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.’
