Well, firstly I should point out that this is my first post using this medium. Until now I have been more of a social networker than a blogger. My step from myface to a dedicated blogspace has somewhat been fuelled by my desires to rant and speak my mind far much more than i would normally allow myself in the teeny-bop world of spacebook!
Please be aware, that this is just my opinion and thoughts, nothing more. So please feel free to comment constructively, and light-heartedly!

So, straight to what i've got on my mind right now...

It's starting to become very clear now, that the major players in UK politics have started to flex their muscles once again, as the run-up to a general election appears to have gotten underway.
Now, normally I would sit back at this point, knowing that the outcome of an approaching ballot is usually well anticipated before polling day arrives.
If you would have asked me a few months ago who i would expect to see inside No. 10 this May, rummaging through boxes frantically searching for the kettle - I would have had no problem whatsoever delivering my answer.
Daveyboy!

Now, Mr Cameron is a man who in my opinion has the ability to a great many things for UK politics.
I remember the first time I saw him on SkyNews, and can remember instantly thinking 'Now this guy doesn't look like a politician - nice touch'. Yes, he's clean shaven, smartly dressed, well educated, and opted for a Raleigh over a Prius. But he's certainly no Michael Howard. He's new skool, not old skool.
To begin with, this was a good thing. This was probably a view shared by many others.

So how come of late, have the Conservatives suffered such a slip in the polls. For so long, public opinion and support had swayed in the direction of Cammys office door. Now, this appears to no longer be the case.
Of course, the difficult thing for voters is the endless accusations from one political party to another, that the other is borrowing the others ideas and policies. Endless televised bickering from the commons, and constant smear campaigns from one party to the next.

I honestly don't recall for some time seeing a report in the media from Whitehall that has either failed to wind me up, or has made me sit up and take note of a good idea being tabled.

From Daveyboy and his party wanting to withdraw British troops from Germany, in order to make them more operationally ready (because, of course the Army spend their time in the FRG eating bratwurst and knocking back the Jeagermeister!), to Mr Brown standing up in Swansea defending his governments economic record! Which is funnier?? I can't decide!! Nor can I decide which of the two main parties in this country could do the best job of running it.

Can you?
