The UK government is completely bent. Look at things like the Post Office sell off where blokey who fixed the price pocketed millions worth of shares. Where our last Prime Minister promised to attack offshore accounts while not disclosing his family money had been made through the setting up offshore accounts. If you want to get elected you know your policies will be led by whoever paid for your election win. Meanwhile vast amounts of the citizens of the country are left to rot, while the whole population is played off each other to ensure we keep our eyes off the bent bunch at the top. Of course it's the same in the US and more extremely so in Russia. The horrible left wing governments just have a different kind of corruption.
Neither's citizens have any freedom, people talk about oppression in Venezuela but it's no different in western countries, try chucking your government out and you'll be met with the same response. You'll say you can vote them out in Western countries, you can but you will 100% of the time get the the government the money men have paid for because it's really those that are running the country.
Morrissey's stance on this would be to not vote, a part of me thinks you have to get involved but ultimately he's right, it's futile and pointless.
