The Government of Broken Promises!
Well as he plans his Humpty Dumpty exit from Number 10 (did he fall or was he pushed –out that is), it appears that Blair has broken a promise that could have perhaps saved his party at the next election. As it is, it now stands as an issue the other parties could pick up and run with.
The promise in question is about a referendum on EU issues. Now we’re a democracy right? Yeah, that’s what I thought too. But doesn’t it seem to you as if suddenly we’ve lost the right to direct our government? Doesn’t it suddenly feel as if this government has forgotten that we are a country that is supposed to be based on what the people think? And isn’t getting public opinion through an open referendum the way of finding out what the majority of people – as in all people, not just those in a carefully chosen demographic – think about what’s happening. It’s not exactly as if the referendum was going to ask for opinions, all it requires is for people to say “yes” or “no” to putting our foot down and being an EU leader rather than one of the many sheep just blindly following other countries who are creating the policies that the rest sheep will follow or face eviction.
As long as we kowtow to the EU and not keep a rein on what it’s up to, we will pretty soon find ourselves in the situation of many of our EU peer countries, with an imposed currency whilst ours is phased out. Come on guys and girls, it’s time to find us a government that doesn’t break promises and has the guts to recreate the UK as the land of potential dreams, rather than the shattered ones we’re currently living with!
