Those Brits

The only thing in the British media over the last couple weeks has been the elections. No the only thing is the British media is the surprise cluster-fuck results. No one won a majority. This means the politicians are going to have to work together to get anything done. Good luck with that.

Some say that if one party had won, the result would have been that this party would not have won again for a generation because of the massive cuts that are going to have to be made to the budget and public services to prevent Briton from pulling a Greece.. It looks like the responsibility and blame are going to be spread around.

Both parties want a change in the way the Brits do elections. I don't think either of the parties are happy with the results that basically are a draw. The people are basically not being asked. Sounds like the U. S. in that case. However, some are using the word “stalemate” to describe the situation. That just doesn't sound good at all.

This entire planet is in a state where the ruling class is not listening to the people they rule. In the past this would have eventually lead to revolution. We have become far to civilized for this to happen today. Well, let's hope. No, I think something far more interesting just might happen because of this disconnect. The people, not just in the U. S., but all over the world, just might start paying attention and reading the news. This would be disastrous to our current generation of leaders. They depend on ignorance and apathy to get what they think will keep them and their peers in power for another election cycle.

Yes, I believe there is a ruling class of people. They reside next door to the celebrity class of people. These in turn employ the working class. I do not think this is a good thing. This is an old idea that people will simply fall in to their place either by birth or will as society shakes out. These layers are promoted as a good thing in some countries and ignored in a few. They are always there it seems. Maybe it is simply the way human relationships on mass work

Beware any alterations to rules governing the ability of the people to know what is going on and become an informed citizenry. Obama has already complained that he cannot control the message on the internet. He used it to win and now he plays the victim of information and communication. This is just one example.

Am I the only one who feels this disconnect?

From the author: I originally called this “Bloody Brits”. I intended to be very negative, but it didn't really work out that way so I changed the title. this whole story started with the phrase “Briton pulling a Greece”.
