Local Elections

Today I got my polling card.

What the hell am I supposed to do?. I am one of the thousands of totally disillusioned voters. History will judge this to be the legacy of the Blair years. They have managed to turn us all off completely. I simply can't vote Labour again either on a national or a local level. I don't believe them, don't trust them and frankly don't have a clue what they believe in anymore. I could never vote Tory especially on a local level where reading their campaign literature actually makes me feel slightly ill. The Lib Dems seem to have vanished into thin air. For a while I thought that could be my new home but now I am certain it's not.

So I feel unrepresented and disenfranchised. After years of feeling highly politicised I am now becoming apathetic. I am cynical about statements, claims and promises. I am slightly paranoid about the intentions of ambitous politicians. Far from admiring, I now tend to despise people directly involved in politics. What has happened?. Is it because of Blair, his lies, his war etc? Is it because it feels as if we are being controlled and manipulated? Is it because it seems as if there is an erosion of our freedoms? I don't know what the answer is but sometimes I feel as if Democracy has run its course. They are so good at manipulating the media, the facts and the way we vote that it has almost become pointless.

What should I do? Does anyone know of a party worth voting for.
