What's the point of elections? No-one likes them.They're a turn-off. They don't sell newspapers, no-one wants to watch TV news. Even the politicians hate elections. It's not that they have to tell the bleeding truth for once. It's the opposite. They have to outbid each other in throwing us bored voters more trinkets like less taxes, not that anyone believes them. You can see them scratching around thinking of some other daft proposal they can chuck in our direction. They start the election with a box full of toys which they sling our way one-by-one to see how we react. And if basically we just yawn and give 'em the middle finger, they rummage around the bottom of the box to see what else they can find. I'm surprised one of the parties hasn't come up with the idea of giving us each a free watch if they get elected or maybe a couple of pints of Kronenbourg or three days at a timeshare. Works for me. Cut the dross about tax cuts and get straight to the point; vote for me and get six cans of Special Brew sent to your door. The politicians would be happy. Instead of bleeding boring TV question time, we'd just get the party leaders to pile their bribes up in front of them and let us, the voters, make up our minds. It's called democracy…
