Because unswerving loyalty to the Murrells meant that anyone with an ounce of nous, or potential for upsetting the iron-rod status quo, wasn’t selected.

Somewhere up there ^^^ I recounted how my friend was beaten by The Party machine (its ‘middle management’ in his words) which had already decided which dull, loyal footsoldier’s turn it was. He was there to make up the numbers, although even I’d have voted for him had he been selected for my constituency.

The MP/MSP caseworker-councillor-parliamentarian route is a better example of a closed shop than 1970s British Leyland. That’s how the thought-free gormless yes-men/women/pick-yer-place-on-the-gender-spectrum tossers and air-headed lobby fodder dicks are in place telling you and me how to run our lives, with hardly an hour of real-life experience or more than a dozen brain cells between them.

It’s a 19th century rotten burgh in fleshly realisation, obvious to a blind person with a glass bool in their erse, but only, it seems, since the she-goddess has fûcked off leaving a sotter with nobody capable of clearing it up. I await the real reasons for her departure with some interest.

You get what you vote for, suckers, and the unimaginative will continue to do so in hope rather than expectation.

Another election next year with fuuck all worth voting for. Ach weel.

Apart from the foregoing, I have no strong feelings on the matter etc.
