Oh dear

Music,Politics 7 May 2010 | 2 Comments

So, I’ve had three hours or so of sleep, and it seems as though I needn’t have bothered staying up. The country has decided, and has decided in a fog of uncertainty to decide not to decide anything.  Well done Britain.  You’ve decided to give Cameron just enough room to get his right wing hack press to press his advantage.  As I listen to the BBC now, they’re already there, talking about how the Conservatives have ‘a clear mandate’ and how the only option now is for the dribble chin kid to take power that he’s not been fully given, on a vote base of roughly a third of the population.

If I sound bitter it’s because I bloody well am. The one thing I really didn’t expect was for the Lib Dems to utterly fail in every regard.  Nick Clegg may soon be the kingmaker (and I still hold out hope for a Lib/Lab coalition) but I think that the Lib Dems need to look long and hard about whether he can really lead the party forward to make any gains, or if they are doomed to electoral nothingness for ever.

This is about all my brain can handle right now, I will have more thoughts as the results become a bit clearer, and the new Government takes shape,  In the meantime, I leave you with the best musical representation of my head right now.  Altogether now… ‘Why am I pissing blood?’

    Sleep?
    Wuss.
    It has all turned a bit shit, taking a break from bbc one, it’s either that, or my brain melting.

    In hindsight it was less a sleep and more of a depression induced coma.
