So, first I think I ought to apologise for not blogging sooner, it has been really quite hectic with Saturday courses and exams. But that is all done now so back to the important business of blogging.
Today, in our politics lesson we had an MP from the Liberal Democrats. She started her talk by telling us the reason why politicians were not trusted by the people who elected them, their electorate. She then proceeded to give us, convoluted answers to our questions, unnecessary information that scooted around the information that we really needed or wanted to know. And she wonders why politicians, in the majority (because some politicians can be trusted, yes, I know...) are not trusted by the people they rely on the most. they want power and a position of relative authority and they are prepared to do anything they need to get to this position. This I think is admirable, if you want something that bad, then you should be willing o do whatever is needed to get there. particularly in a position like that of an MP. However, what I find very disturbing is that they want to take positions, that affect us and our lives, which to be perfectly honest are extremely precious. Yet, once they have used us to get to their wanted position, they feel that they can completely and utterly throw us, our lives, thoughts and opinions by the way side just as a way of bettering their position and their party. We are the people who provide them with the job opportunity in the first place. I wonder whether now she knows why politicians are not trusted and will probably never be?
