That the starting gun has started for the General Election is clear as is the fact that Gordon brown being the cowardly wimp he is, won’t call it until May, we are therefore in for the most boring 5 months imaginable.

It is all a total waste of time because the result must surely be inevitable, Brown out of Downing Street and out of British politics altogether, David Cameron the next Prime Minister and following that, a surge of self confidence that could get the economy floating again. Still we are forced to wait and therefore an amusing little story someone sent me today in an email, it should make you smile…

What is Politics ?

This is one way to explain what Politics is about, can you think of a better way??

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’

Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family, so call me The Prime Minister.

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.

We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night,! he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his nappy.

So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep.

Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. ‘

The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’

The little boy replies, ‘The prime Minister is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.’
