What is 'Voting' for?
I remember they had this thing a while back, think it was called 'General Election' or something. I remember some people voted Labour, others some other party, Conservative or Liberal. Then for a while I remember there was government, Labour I think, then the other two were 'Opposition'.
I guess this last bit has ended now. I saw the two 'Opposition' guys (that I voted in, since I wanted some opposition, lol) walking into the government guy's house to discuss points of concurrence on terrorism.
Did I miss something? Did they cancel opposition? When did the tories and lib dems start having tea with Tony? I know its a special issue. But the principle!

In the last war, we went in illegally against UN backing.
Hardly the same thing
I don't mind concurrence. What is the meaning of any opposition statement if all they ever do is oppose? Strength is given to opposition statement if they are seen to concur at times, or not to score points in certain situations where they could have. Its not what I'm advocating.
What alarms me, however, especially given the current lad we have in office at the moment (Jesus Christ reincarnate, in his own eyes) is what I saw yesterday....(did I dream it?) Leaders of the main opposition parties going for a visit to 10 Downing Street to discuss how best to approach the war on terror. Does anyone else think this is madness? Oh sure, we're all against terror, but apart from anything else how the hell is this teaparty supposed to work??? Does cooperation now weaken power of opposition when they will need it? What, for example, happens if Tony Bush decides to invade Iran tomorrow, because of another set of 'terrorist threats'. The opposition might want to oppose.......but they have been formally involved in cooperation over this anti-terror situation.
Not happy with this at all.
