Anyone hear been following it recently?. Does anyone care

I used to be a member of the conservative party but left due to being seriously disillusioned with both it and politics. I don't even vote now.
To be honest everything is a mess. We have a conservative as Labour leader. Both main parties are trying to outdo each other for the centre ground. Huge scandals for Labour 'losing' foreign murders and rapists, and 'two shags'. Sleaze is rife, cash for peerages in the Lords,
Crime is rife. At least where I live. And no it wasn't as bad ten years ago.The unstable ness of our poltical system can be seen in the rise of the British National party. A racist party if Americans are reading this. Labour will play it down but to be honest a party with it's views in a healthy society shouldn't be getting any votes. The BNP has much more support than it used to.
We even have Black and mixed race people voting for them. As theyare tired of the crime and overcrowding as well. It is a protest vote for both parties to wake up and listen. And it is annoying when people dismiss these voters as racist or stupid. If you have parties fighting for the small amount of political ground people with all different sorts of issues are being disregarded.
It also doesn't help that most of the politcal elite in the UK are either senile old fools or brainwashed by political correctness. Blair and Labour have spat on the working class and this is what results. The conservatives always seen as the party of law of order will not address these issues as they want to come across as caring , not racist and 'in touch' with society. When Thatcher was in power for all her faults the BNP were nothing. And they hated her for it.
The Old Labour party always stood for tolerance and inclusion and workers rights. I was never a supporter but I respected them. What will be Blairs legacy? a rise of intolerance and racism, Sleaze of a large magnitude and the marginalising of a large section of society.That is what I feel people will remember him for anyway.
