a prediction based on observation

In the midst of all the conversation/debate about the DE Bill, and my uneducated view on politics in general, I have come to a realisation. You can write to your local MP, but you'll probably get ignored or he won't show up to represent you. You can vote based on policies, but the ones you care about are probably lies. You can vote based on personality, but politicians are great actors. The name of what we're living in may very well be "democracy", but the more I think about it, the more I realise that this country isn't run by politicians who care about or attempt to represent our interests, or act upon promises that have been made. It's run by companies who can find and bankroll the most corrupt politicians and capitalise on their greed and idiocy.

I, and many others like myself (it would seem), am tired of this, but I don't know what to do about it. I don't think there's anything I can do about it. I could not vote, but a lack of vote doesn't count against everyone, so that's useless. I could vote for a minor party, but that's just as useless. If something so whimsical as Rage Against the Machine getting to number one at Christmas can be achieved through the internet, maybe something as important as the party running our country can be organised, too. I'm not talking about something radical or game-changing, just everyone who's pissed at the government voting for the underdog (whoever that may be). I don't want to see someone else go "I hate the DE Bill, but what are you going to do?!". Vote for the fucking Pirate Party - they're the only ones who seem to care about what I care about anyway - freedom of action.
