"Dear BBC,

why oh why oh why can't the government of the United Kingdom be decided by a small minority of ex-pat voters who won't be directly affected. Or potentially by a minority of the population who have regional powers. Who came up with the idea that decisions should be made by the majority in a democracy?"

What do you want, fairness? Away with you. It's like playing simcity by proxy.

Like almost every election this one was decided in England by English voters.

Even that SNP bitch's victory?

I actually quite like East Kilbride, fantastic place for running.

Scotland's fate in a few years time - I tell you they are already on their knees.

Should you need any proof of this my local rag in Scotland - the East Kilbride news has an article of our post Mary and Jesus Chain Gang group - called EK Decay (as in East Kilbride Decay).

Their new album is called "No Hope" . An extract from an interview from one of the band

qDHow did you come up with the name EK Decay ? "With East Kilbride being in the state its in factories are shutting unemployment is high shops are shutting its a rerun of 77-78 . No-one has a job, People are fighting whilst politicans are telling you " Vote for me and we weill give you this - well why didn't you give it last time you were in power."

Oh and plus the fact that there are not many other words that rhyme with EK ....


And by Jingo he is right - my home town is a shambles - nobody has a job. What to do ? As from May 24th - I am selling my Mansion and moving to Sunny Climes.

So there.


PS My pre-election prediction was correct " No matter whom you vote for - the Government always gets in ..."

You see - The Government has got back in !!!

So the forecast looks like a landslide towards the SNP in Scotland. Turkeys voting for Christmas on an epic scale.
Meanwhile "Call me Dave" has been quietly cementing his position in Westminster where the real seat of power is.
All that he needs to engineer is wholesale restructuring of the Barnett Formula, something that will be hugely popular down south, then Nicola and her minions will need to find much of the funding for their harebrained "progressive" policies by raising taxes or cutting spending within Scotland itself.
Let's see how popular she is then.

It's one ballot paper in Glasgow east. Hardly the dumping of ballot boxes in the canal.
