Yes, it's entertaining. I must admit that reading that forum is an occasional guilty pleasure of mine, a "so bad, it's good" form of comedy. I always have a look when we play Millwall, to see what they are saying about us...

The funny thing is, if you read between the abuse and terminology there are salient points still being made. It is (statistically) a fact that the electorate are disengaging with government, the three parties are very much now varying shades of a bland colour and the voting system needs reform (why bother voting Tory in Barnsley, why bother voting labour in Henley?). It's no longer the politics of the people but the politics of ego, it has to change and maybe a left of centre UKIP alternative is also needed to maybe prod Labour into change. There's no left and right anymore, just a watered down centre right sardine can. Party politics over the last 40 years can be summed up in three bullet points: The Tories do finance well but have no social skills or awareness. Labour are Socially aware and adept but can't do money. The liberals don't know what they want to do but offer some interesting (if somewhat naive) alternatives. Increase the importance of local government, where parties will represent their areas and people. Scrap boundaries for general elections, make every vote count. If it means a hung parliament, 5 BNP MP's, 5 Communist MP's and a dozen Green MP's then so be it, that is the will of the people and the 635? (I think!) might just have to do what they're elected to do and debate rather than appear in tv prompting their own interests.
