I am fed up. I can not afford to be a student any longer, due to Blair's fucked up ideas about education for all (except the working classes who won't be able to afford it?). I have quit my degree as I can't afford to carry on. I'm unemployed, with shitloads of debts, thanks to the past six years of the Government's fucked up education policies.

I am absolutely fed up with the Bush dictat in the USA and the Champagne Socialist regime of Tony Blair in Britain.

There's no point in me sitting round moaning about it, so I have become active in a political party here in the UK. I chose the Conservatives.

There are three main parties in the UK (five if you count the Welsh and Scottish Nationalists): Labour, Conservatives, and the Liberal Democrats. Labour is out for me, so it's the Lib Dems or the Conservatives. The Lib Dems here are a bunch of the political version of ambulance chasers: opinion-poll chasers. During the Iraqi war, they stated that most of the British public had agree with them. That's only because they kept changing their minds every few days. They are ineffective, use underhanded tactics, and cannot agree even within their party on anything. An example of their stupidity: they are all for legalising cannibis, but are also all for banning smoking completely. Hypocritical if you ask me. So that left either a fringe party that is unlikely to ever win even a seat in an election (i.e. the Greens, the Millenium Bean Party) or the Conservatives.

I have actively fought for our Conservative candidate in the last election, working so hard that I got the nickname "Campaign Monkey" (it's better than the other alternative, "Campaign Bitch"). As a reward, I am being nominated by the party to stand in the local council elections in my city next year. It is now my plan to go into UK politics.

I have some genuine concerns I want to address. Britain, Ireland, the USA and the Western World, for example, are strip mining the Third World of human resources. This is a sneaky underhanded way of exploiting nations. This URL for example shows this: http://www.manilatimes.net/others/special/2003/apr/21/20030421spe1.html
