This is probably the last blog I’ll have time for before the polls open and it strikes me as odd that people still don’t seem to “get” what Jury Team are about. They can’t get their heads around the idea of a party that’s not a party, so entrenched has the propaganda become over the years.
Jury Team is a movement, formed solely and expressly to put an end to the sleaze, the corruption and the anti-democratic practices we have allowed our politicians to slip into. There are too few people today involved in politics with real experience of the world. People like Balls & Milliband predominate – straight from uni to the front bench, with only a few years scheming and conniving behind the scenes in between. These people owe the Party everything and the Party demands their absolute obedience.
If David Cameron stood up tomorrow and announced a plan that would solve the financial crisis, end world poverty, guarantee wealth & health for everybody …. 300 or so Labour MPs would vote against it automatically because it came from the Tory Party. And the same would be true in reverse if Gordon Brown came up with such a plan. This can’t go on. We can’t continue to allow Party bigotry to literally kill us.
Jury Team lets ordinary people stand against the politicians. This includes you. Instead of reading & writing blogs or whinging on message boards, you can stand and have your view heard. If & when Jury Team candidates get elected, it doesn’t matter if they’re right wing, left wing, liberal or green, it really doesn’t. The only thing that matters is they are legally committed to acting honestly and openly. They may well go off and form alliances or loose groupings but again, they’re legally obliged not to follow the orders of such groups. We’ll probably end up with the same mix of political views, perhaps a bit more representative of society’s views, but not a lot different. The most important thing is we’ll end up with politicians who will first and foremost act in the interests of the people and will do so openly, honestly and with integrity.
The first step in cleaning up politics is to get people in whose first principle is to do as we tell them. Unless we start out with honest people, the system will never change. If we let those tainted by all that’s gone before just re-write rule books, we’ll see the same kind of scandals a few years down the line. It’s not the expenses per se that we mind, it’s the type of people who have shown themselves to have such poor judgement in the first place being in a position to damage our society so greatly.
I’m not against UKIP, the socialists or the main parties because of their policies. Many are quite good, sensible policies actually – from all sides of the fence. I’m against them because they won’t change the broken system of politics we have.
Voting for any of them won’t change a thing.
Not voting won’t change a thing.
Spoiling the ballot won’t change a thing.
Voting Jury Team begins the change.
