Small Parties should be banned from the elections

By now, everyone should know that on May 6th 2010 there is to be a Local and General Election to decide which political party should supposedly "run" our country or local area... if you don't know, then where the frick have you been hiding? In a wardrobe with a dream of one day visiting the big grizzly lion in Narnia?

Anyway whilst putting some rubbish in the outside bin this morning I noticed the usual pile of flyers and leaflets that congregate at our front door for weeks on end until it gets unbearable and they have to be cleared. I picked them up to have a ganders and to see if there was anything of substantial interest to anyone with half a brain cell.

Amongst the heap of shit on the floor, there was 4 leaflets for food, two of which were from co-op to make sure we got the message, some one offering cheap sofas, another for Sky TV and TalkTalk and another leaflet with someone who looks like he should be from that "WONGA" advert. (Check out the spoofs to see what I mean)

Amongst all the usual crap that no one ever really reads, I found two political party leaflets one for the Green Party and one for the Socialist Party. A few things about this got on my tits:

1. Where are the major parties' (Labour, Tories & Lib Dems) Leaflets? They are meant to be the strong parties who strive to get peoples votes, yet there is no evidence that our households votes count. Admittedly we might not vote, but its not the point we should still be bombarded with their crap to recycle with... its kind of our right.

2. Also if your a small party, what is the point of just posting a poxy little leaflet through someone's door and then walk off. That's not going to get anyone in to Westminster or to chair the local area because most people will just think "Bleurgh... BIN!!" They should knock on the door and try to explain to people what it is they do and all that jazz. Although, I really don't think this rule would count with parties such as the BNP, unless they like getting smacked in the face with the closest blunt object to hand, most probably a fist!

One thing that both of these parties seem to have in common though is the ability to produce flyers that are so bad it makes this film look like it will be the best experience of your life. Both these two parties will never get into power just for the simple fact they are the dunces of the politics world and everyone else laughs at them HAHAHA!
