It’s clearly overdue for the unelected, unelectable, multiple disgraced and corrupt twat who forces though draconian laws thought up by his powerful mates who invite him on holiday.

Despite being a few dozen of results short of a mandate, it’s clear now that there can be no overall winner in the glorious stupidity that was the 2010 UK general election. And do you know what? Good.

I had something of a revelation last night. While mostly avoiding the coverage, from the BBC TV and website and also from Twitter, I realised what above all else turns me off British (and American) politics.

It’s the game of association football.

What does soccerball have to do with the nation’s right to waste their votes in a flawed first past the post electoral system? Well, not much, other than it’s a game of two halves, mostly played by greedy and inept people I wouldn’t trust to set my PVR to record Top Gear.

Sport fans (and especially football fans) are a strange breed. Most seem to fall into a similar pattern, picking a team that is either nearby or the one your dad supports, or both. Does this sound familiar? It’s how religion works. These are not choices, but coincidences of breeding and location. Sure, there are exceptions, but they are exceptions. Allow me to generalise to make my point.

There is nothing in this world that confuses, terrifies, appalls, sickens and amuses me more than the blind group thinking of the human race. Despite calls to vote tactically, despite the Lib Dems apparent rise to official opposition behind the Conservatives, on the day a lot of people snapped back into their old patterns and voted for one of the two main parties.

Lots is talked about the importance of voting, the idea that you don’t have the moral right to complain about the results of an election. These people are flat wrong. Better not to vote (either by apathy or conscientious objection) than to vote without thinking about the issues, the candidates or what is important to you. Worse still if you can’t even name your own MP.

That kind of behaviour is punishable by a red card.
