Oh dear lord. I've been looking into our politics more and more and it's feeling more and more like the UK's (England's, especially) politicians are operating under a 'Fuck you, got mine!' system.
Today: greatorder learns how conservatism works.
I knew how it worked. I just didn't know to what degree it worked.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD PEOPLE VOTE FOR THESE SHITLORDS?!

You can ask exactly the same thing of the crazy republicans in the US.

Alternatively, you could exclaim, were they in power, "WHY WOULD PEOPLE FOR FOR THE LAZY LABOUR PARTY."

Really, politicians are all rather selfish creatures. It's part of being human.

So looks like the Tories are backing down on repealing the Human Rights Act, mostly because it's a near impossible solution to a largely undefined and non-existent problem. Their supposed 100 day priority is now maybe have a draft in 100 days to pass to a consultation for a few years. IIRC no draft has surfaced in the last 9 years of this being Conservative party policy, and the last attempt to create one failed to get beyond the title in about 3 years.

Then clearly we must appoint a politician who is not truly human! A deranged psychopathic tyrant bereft of emotion and desire to rule us with a benevolent iron fist!

I hereby volunteer for this position. I promise you a minimum of three years before I have my enemies publicly slaughtered and their skulls used to build a throne from which to lord over the land! That's three more skull throneless years than any other politician promises.

Will you at least impose Viking-style raids on other countries?

If so, you have my vote!

I have to wonder how much you could affect politics as the leader of an insignificant party just by making election promises.
I mean, Clegg got Cameron to turn around and match his promised increase to NHS funding. And that's a pretty big deal coming from David "not going to privatise the health service whoops my pen slipped" Cameron.

Sigh... will America start doing better than us at human rights now, too?

Oh, sorry, forget I asked....

I promise viking raids not only on other countries, but also on the viking raids we sent out to raid those countries! Only the greatest raiders will return with the spoils of war and it shall strengthen us for the coming of Ragnarok and prepare us for shopping in the lead up to christmas!

Reverse viking raids on Sweden absolutely mandatory. Also, we must put vikings on the north pole, that way people will actually feel guilty when it melts.

I promise viking raids on every nation descended from the Norse, viking kittens on the north pole and a national hunting season on bankers!

A vote for me is a vote for petty tyranny and unusual policies!
