Unless I decide to stay at home on Election Day or spoil my ballot in some spectacular way, I shall be faced with the choice of voting for the two main political parties, ADPD and probably a handful of independent candidates. Labour?  But how can my conscience let me, knowing that its soul stinks to high heaven? And when I think of how Adrian Delia, elected fair and square as PN leader, was treated and other examples of hypocritical behaviour, then will it still absolve me from voting for the lesser of the two evils? ADPD? I have always given them [that is, AD in those days] my vote. But now, it seems that this party has come out in favour of abortion in certain cases.

I believe with all my heart, body and soul that only God is good – yes, God! You know, He who once came amongst us and wasn't really enamoured of the ruling classes in Judea. And that belief has been amply reinforced over the years by the behaviour of certain politicians and their acolytes, some of the biggest humbugs walking this earth. Yet the former, at least so far, do not just waltz in and select their parliamentary seats – for they must first be given to them by the voter. I, therefore, take to task all my fellow members of the electorate who accord the trappings of power to these people only to have them abuse it in the vilest of ways. But why should they care as long as they've been "accommodated"?

It appears that we’re in for another five years of Labour. Vox populi vox Dei? Poppycock!
