Just in case you didn't realise... I don't even know where to begin. They are c*nts, out of touch, heartless, bloodthirsty c*nts of the highest order and I hope that Ed Milliband wins a landslide not because I like Labour, but just to rub in in these horrible conceited c*nts' faces that even a morally bankrupt party like Labour with a clown as leader is more popular than their brand of victimising, fear-inducing alienating politics. F*ck you Cameron. F*ck you.
Mentioned it elsewhere - Charlie Brookers VT and summation of Millibands response to the yoof who asked him about what experience outside of politics made him suitable for PM is hilarious if you can find it in iplayer. No politicians are in touch with the populace because they drive and are driven by their own ideology first and foremost.

OOooo I'll look for it..ta That doesn't mean their out of touch though...it could be that the majority agree with them..but just too apathetic to vote for them.

I don't think being in touch with the populace is generally the problem, its the assumption that somehow being in touch with the general population is important. The man in the street, he's a c**t. Politicians spend to much time trying to 'be ordinary' as if somehow being able to 'drink a beer' or 'eat a bacon' sandwich is somehow important in state governance. This kind of popularism 'man in the street' nonsense is what destroys politics. I don't want the people I like to drink a few pints with running the country, they're unreliable and prone to getting drunk on a 'school night'. Instead we've slipped into this dangerous habit of electing 'people we like' rather than people who can do the job, and as a result we have an economy that is run by the kind of person who relies on Wonga to pay his bills, and calls in sick because he 'had a few too many last night'.

Its very funny, and reminds me that whilst I hate the Conservatives, I really despise what Labour has become.

How can anyone disagree with... “Today it is still possible to leave school, sign on, find a flat, start claiming housing benefit and opt for a life on benefits. It’s time for bold action here,” he said. “We should ask, as we write our next manifesto, if that option should really exist at all.” Also, this article is from 2013. Its a shame that its not as possible though to leave school, find a job and afford to rent a flat. I wonder why people opt for the first scenario, when a tiny one bedroom flat around our way will set you back 750-1000 a month (or at least 350-400 a month in a shared house). And that's before you throw in council tax, utilities and food. Good luck affording one if you're a school leaver (or even a university graduate). That's nothin new though. When I moved down to London in the mid 80s I was in a bedsit paying £60 a week when I only earned £120. I just had to suck it up and wait until I could afford to move. I agree something needs to be done to make it easier but equally the sense of entitlement that a lot of people have needs to change. That's half your weekly income. 750 quid is likely 3/4 plus of the likely income of a school leaver etc. And this is Reading, not London. Somewhere affordable to live isn't 'self entitlement' its a necessity (especially when you'll need to pony up two months deposit and agency fees, likely another grand up front). Its hardly surprising that people opt for the housing benefit route, rather than work 40 hours a week to be in debt at the end of the month.
I left school and lived with my parents till aged 22 when I had saved up enough for a deposit on my first house. Not everyone is lucky enough to have parents that support them beyond their teenage years though.
It was made very clear to me that to stay in their house I had to get a job, pay them rent at the going rate and clear up after myself and take a fair share of the other household tasks.

Actually I probably phrased that wrongly. They are removed from an 'everyday' experience is probably more apt, which makes their 'everyman' attempts so surreal.
I like the football analogy. Everyday life is pretty s**t, it generally revolves around repeated boring tasks you do for money, with people you tolerate and a bit of skiving off to look at stuff on the internets. Personally, politicians probably have too much of a diverse life experience compared to most working joes. They do seem to get out, socialize and talk to people a lot more, and spend less time getting utterly shucked on a Friday night.

Was the going rate, almost everything you earned plus food and bills. My parents were fairly 'serious' when I got my first job, I paid about a quarter of my take home a month in 'keep'.
