2010 is indeed the election year and in my eyes is a total waste of time. The only reason why labour win most of the time is because in modern day society politics is boring. People vote either labour or conservative just because they couldnt really care who is in power and do not even know what each party aims to do. The majority of the people dont care and those who dont vote usually choose not to because either a) every single leader of political parties doesnt bare any kind of representation of the people. Gordon Brown struggles to speak fluently and what he does say is usually just trying to defend how labour have ruined the economy. David Cameron its fair to say is a total clown in most respects. Nick Clegg performed the best in the first election debate but honestly will probably never get into power and as for the others they stand little chance of ever being in power as well, b) Politics has become a childish game where every MP (who is usually employed to be sarcastic) has a go at another MP for something of little relevance to anything, or C) They dont care/think it wont affect their every day life.
The problem is that in modern day society people are simply not as interested in politics as they were in the past. Many people find politics hard to follow and hard to understand. For example my mum votes liberal every year just because they knock on our door and didnt even know who the leader was until the debate. Politics has become more of a game to the major party leaders, each of them giving the public empty promises and mostly hot air. The reason why labour get so many votes is that they have been in for the longest time, the immigration system has been messed up so they all vote for labour in the know they will still be able to get their benefits and then the rest will vote labour because they think David Cameron is a clown.
I dont have any concerns and nothing will influence my vote in this years election. I think its fair enough if people do not wish to vote in the upcoming election because i feel that the majority of people in this country wouldnt have the sufficient knowledge to vote including myself i must admit. But i feel its important to vote as many people complain about the government that do not vote.
