Seeing Red
2nd November 2014, 23:35
Hi, I am from South East London. My local MP is from the Labour party and is one of the good 'uns from a pretty dodgy bunch. In the last year I have become increasingly politically active as my eyes have slowly been opened. I don't like what I see and am now doing my best to change things little bit by little bit by communicating with my MP and taking part in online groups such as 38 Degrees.
I am not an educated man, and am slowly learning about this complicated beast called politics.
My granddad was from South Wales and he was vehemently vocal against Thatcherism. In turn my dad was very proud of his leftist ways. Although, I feel politics is a lot more muddled and murky than it was in previous generations. The culture of popularity in which the man with the higher charisma gets all the attention along with all the major parties not having enough about them to distinguish from each other has a lot to do with this confusing of politics. Politics needs to change.
