In that case, the party for you and for many others is the UK Libertarian Party

which is committed to getting this country out of the EU and Big Brother government out of all our lives.

Fr, what happened to the self-denying ordinance on political comment?
For what its worth I believe we now have the politics we deserve. Massive over-selling of what any government could ever achieve at an election followed by a massive let down once the “winning” party demonstrates that it doesn’t stand an earthly of delivering its promises.
And a media that loves nothing more than a build-’em-up story (remember Obama?) followed by the knock-’em-down story that can be run once the political honeymoon is over.
Idiots that we are, we lap it all up: yes I really believe Party X has the answers and will change my life for the better; oh, dear what a let down, to think I trusted them, they’ll never get my vote again. And who really thinks that a party that ran on a platform of “well we cannot offer much, things are pretty much out of our control and lets face it the UK doesn’t really rule half the world any more so keep your expectations low” would be returned on a landslide.
Rant over.

Oh, and I propose HM to run the country – if it ran with the same polish, timing, attention to detail and sense of duty as the monarchy, we would have few problems.

You’ve also summed it up for me!

Although the idea of the left holding social justice high and the right claiming the moral high ground is almost a thing of the past. I don’t really see much difference between all of the political parties now.

Well, for what it’s worth you are not alone in feeling like this.

Yes UKIP does look attractive right now, but I don’t share your confidence in folks viewing the BNP as moronic nutters and sadly I am also referring to the Christian world. We are going to see the rise of the far right in the UK and I blame nuLabour.

As you rightly point out, because of our new EU masters, voting for any of the 3 main parties is a practical waste of time.

And we certainly can’t look to the church, let’s be honest, as the leaders are too busy gardening, in their eco allotments.

My conclusion, I am personally becoming more and more libertarianism and simply want the government to STOP legislating and start reversing the process and stay the hell out of our lives.
