Why do they always say "everything is fine" until something happens?
Badly worded question really but I just started wondering when I was watching the news.
In the months before any election politicians constantly repeat they have got it all right, everything is rosey and they are doing the right thing for the country. Or everything within the party is fine, we are all in agreement...
THEN.....
There is an election announced and all of a sudden manifestos for CHANGE appear, even from the party in power at the time. Telling us how this needs changing, this needs reforming and that needs a complete makeover!
Within the parties its the same. Watching Ed and david Miliband, as well as Ed ***** today saying how the Labour Party needs new life, a new direction etc...
I just dont get how these people expect anyone to believe a word they say when they cant even tell the truth about their own situations.
Not a dig at Labour, they all do it, but right now its so glaringly obvious that there are so many different agenda's that its impossible to know what to expect from anyone.
Also, I am sick and tired of hearing "we need more women and ethnic minorities involved".......... WHY !! Im all for equality but let the balance be whatever it is, dont force people through because they are the "right sex for the role or the area.

Interesting that internally suddently they all have different ideas about which direction labour should be heading in now. To such an extent that even 2 brothers are pulling in opposite directions.

Doing something positive which improve the lot of the people or the country is a very low priority by comparison.
Politicians used to think the opposite but those halcyon days seem to have gone!
