Today is the official start of the General Election 2015.
At midday the Prime Minister David Cameron visited Buckingham Palace to see her Majesty the Queen to formally dissolve parliament.
The meeting of the Queen and David Cameron today, is absolute nonsense, it's simply an outdated tradition - and yet more proof of how out-of-touch those in power are with the general public of Britain.
If I was a fly-on-the-wall during the brief meeting between the Queen and David Cameron I reckon this is roughly what I'd have overheard...........
David Cameron - ''Dear Queenie,
I've had a good-run screwing over your peasants.
And if I'm re-elected, I'm certain you will be pleased to know that I will continue the noble tradition of 'the rich screwing the poor'.
I am going to make drastic benefits cuts, that take £12 Billion away from the poor and disadvantaged, but don't worry, rest assured, the biggest benefit scrounger in Britain will get to keep all of their benefits, and receive even more. So, yes, your family will continue to live in the lap of luxury, at the tax-payers expense - while the proles continue to struggle to survive, and are forced to use food banks - unless of course they die, which as we know has been happening; with suicides due to money worries increasing since the Tory party has been in power. So, that would save even more money, as there would be less scroungers to pay for.''
How do I think the Queen would respond to what David Cameron has told her?
Well, I doubt she would say much at all, because she cares even less about her people than the government does.
I wonder how many hard-working people will vote for the Tory party at the General Election 2015?
By hard-working, I mean the average person in the UK.
The regular man-on-the-street, or woman, the majority of 'us'. The people with 'normal' lives, living in their 'normal' houses, with their 2.5 children, struggling to pay their mortgages, stressed at the ever-increasing price of food and bills, angry about the fact our government gives away £14,933 billions in foreign aid (to corrupt countries, where the money does not help those most in need), worrying about the education their children are receiving at their state schools, and concerned about the reported failings of the NHS...........
I wonder how many of the 'average people' in the UK will vote Tory?
I wonder because it mystifies me , do they fully understand what they're voting for?
If any of the average people in the UK who can relate to any of the points I made above, realises that when David Cameron says he will make £12 Billion in benefits cuts, that those cuts may very well affect them - detrimentally.
David Cameron says he'll save £12 Billion by making further cuts in benefits, but he doesn't bother to mention that half of the people who are claiming benefits are employed. They are not, as the Daily Mail etc. would have you believe, lazy feckers who sit around watching Jeremy Kyle all day, and don't want to work.
Half of the people who claim benefits in the UK are employed. The reason they are forced to claim benefits is because of short-term contracts (which aren't worth the paper they are written on) and the fact that there's no fixed minimum wage.
So, I wonder if those people who are employed, but have to claim benefits, such as 'Tax Credits' realise that when the Tory party slag-off benefits claimants' - they are referring to them too?
I watched the Daily Politics on BBC earlier today, despite knowing that it raises my blood pressure - mainly due to the fact that the presenters, Jo Coburn and Andrew Neil are blatantly biased in their views about Tory and Labour (I think they should be impartial in their professional and public life), and yet again I ended-up ranting at the TV.
I find the whole political system in Britain so very frustrating.
For example -
We don't have proportional representation. We should have proportional representation.
Why haven't we got proportional representation? Because they don't want us to have it, that's why.
There was a referendum on proportional representation in 2011 - but apparently it was so deliberately made so complicated that people voted against it - or at least that's what the media reported.
The Tory party, by which I mean David Cameron keeps saying how well Britain is doing; there are more people with jobs; today he said that unemployment is the lowest it's ever been - which would be great if it was true. It's not true.
And even if it were, that wouldn't take into account the numbers of 'hidden unemployment' you know the people who are not counted as unemployed by the government because they need to skew the figures to make it appear as though they (the politicians) are doing a good job.
I also wonder how many people in Britain actually realise that people are seriously struggling to survive?
Do Mr and Mrs Average know that we have food-banks? Do they care? Or are they in so much financial trouble themselves that they can't afford to care?
David Cameron also said today that things are going to plan...........
That we're paying off our debt.
That the economy is healthier - thanks to the work of the Conservative government.
It's all lies!
We are not paying off our debt we are borrowing more and more money, none of which appears to be used to help those in most need.
But the government obviously doesn't care about that, and why should they?
I mean, They're alright Jack!
They receive a decent wage, expenses, bonuses, good food and wine at ridiculously low prices in the House of Commons Bars and Restaurants, and they are protected from all that is wrong with this country.
They literally and quite obviously have absolutely no idea what life is like for the average person living in Britain today.
As usual I have wandered slightly off topic, and rambled on longer than I intended, so I think I'll end this blog post here...........

The 2015 General Election will take place on Thursday the 7th of May.
According to the current opinion polls Britain is on course for a hung parliament.
A HUNG PARLIAMENT! Just as we had in 2010, which resulted in a coalition government of the Conservatives, lead by David Cameron and........... who? Oh yeah, Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats.
So, for the past five years the UK has been governed by a government that the public didn't elect, didn't vote for.
And sadly, it looks looks like once again we will be governed by another unelected Prime Minister - for the next five years - and if that doesn't prove just how archaic and ridiculous our political system is - then I don't know what does.
Hahaha! It would be funny - if it wasn't all so seriously outrageous.
And on that note.......
Do you intend to vote in the 2015 General Election?
Are you claiming any benefits?
Are you worried about your income being reduced by a further £12 Billion in benefit cuts?
Or are you blessed, independently wealthy, and living a life most people can only fantasise about? By which I mean you have the keys to Number 10 or Buckingham Palace etc.
So, which party will get your vote?
The Conservative Party?
The Labour Party?
The Liberal Democrats?
UKIP?
Or what about The Monster Raving Loony Party?
Or Al Murray, aka The Pub Landlord?
