When Sheffield Wednesday play well, I shout from the rooftop.

When they play crap (not that they ever do, you understand...) I give out a million and one excuses for them.

Methinks some see politics in the same light?

There is one way, and one way only to be empowered. Be a floating voter. In order to do so, you have to remove all chips from shoulders, accept that a bloke in a suit who stands for the same party your Granddad supported may not have all the answers after all, and be prepared to accept that whoever you vote for, you get the government. And in recent times, this has been an incompetent government who means well, accepts that a social program is needed but needs funding from growth and panders to soundbite populism. You couldn't separate either party from each other with Norman Lamont's Access card either.

But floating voters get them horny...



Not that voting on policy ever got many on this thread interested. I suppose that tradition is one of the things that makes people interested in being Mudcat members after all, and many songs are about how "that lot over there" are all bastards and "we" should inherit the earth...
