(or how I learned to stop worrying and hate everybody)
This is a graph of the approval ratings of the Coalition Government from around September, well before the protests and cuts started setting in.
Frankly, that is just a fucking nosedive. Even in the face of incredibly vague opposition from Ed Miliband, the majority of the country no longer finds themselves able to put on a brave face in spite of the cuts. Maybe the bank bonus conspiracy is getting us down, maybe the Government's refusal to close tax loopholes that certain members of Parliament are exploiting is starting to annoy us, or maybe we're just a tiny bit miffed at the fact that they're also readily allowing fucking corporations to hold our workforce to ransom.
Not even a year into this Government, and the cracks are showing. Once the cuts actually start to run deep, and the recovery never manifests, it is dangerously at risk of breaking apart. So what happens then? Do we get an emergency election where the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats split and run separately? And if so, do either of them really expect to win? The Lib Dems have become an entirely hollow party by alienating their base and breaking pledge after pledge, and the Conservative party have made up a majority of the legislation and changes within the Coalition (that weren't in the manifesto I might add) that are wildly unpopular with both the public and a wide array of experts in the fields of education, healthcare, economics, social welfare, and the arts. So does this leave us with the pimply pre-pubescent under developed Labour under Miliband?
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we are now on a new frontier of bullshit.
