As expected, the hopeless British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, called a General Election for Thursday  May 7th. My prediction is that the opposition Conservative Party will either win a small majority in Parliament or just fall short of an overall majority.

I will be glad if/when the Labour Party lose the election. They have totally run the country into the ground in the last 13 years, but, to be fair, they only continued the work that was started by the dreadful Margret Thatcher back in 1979. For the last 31 years, Britain’s political leaders have done their best to ruin what was once a great country.

So what do I expect from a Conservative government? More of the same. I see the UK continuing to decline economically, socially, and politically and none of the so-called politicians today have what it takes to stop the rot. I expect a low turnout (by British standards) on election day because millions of people think that the political parties are pretty much the same and are not worth the time or effort to to receive their vote or support.

Since I have lived outside the UK for the last fifteen years, I am no longer eligible to vote in UK elections. Even if I could vote I would not bother. None of the politicians have the best interests of the country at heart and, as the expenses scandal clearly showed last year, most of these politicians are nothing more than lying, cheating bastards.
