WITH the prospect of an all-encompassing, profoundly damaging, Conservative landslide in the highly cynical and opportunistic general election, perhaps there is still time for the bamboozled electorate to consider the true implications of such a disastrous outcome.

It can be hard for the average voter to know what and who they should entrust to govern us and our children’s future. The choice is made even harder when the traditional definitions of political parties are deliberately blurred by the legions of spin doctors, propaganda and opportunists who sacrifice principles for false promises in order that they prosper at the expense of the many…. think Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher.

Theresa May’s campaign management appears to be counting on the corrosive effect of the political assassination carried out by the right-wing media of Chippenham-born Jeremy Corbyn.

That, coupled with damage done to the reputation of their former co-conspirators, the limp liberals in the immoral imposition of punitive austerity measures as part of their ill-fated coalition, they have opted for a robotic, tightly scripted, presidential preen-fest.

The fact that Theresa May refuses to debate on live television with Jezza says as much.

The much maligned Corbyn is surely 'dead in the water'. He has made the mistake of keeping to his principles and, as Theresa May’s Church of England vicar father knew, as he signed her up for the Roman Catholic primary school she attended, principles are for idealists, only pragmatists garner power.

The fact that May’s father was a vicar and therefore lived in relative luxury compared to the majority of his parishioners, a lifestyle in direct contradiction to the teachings of the ‘Jesus-construct’ that has been used and perverted for centuries by the elite to control and tax large swathes of the world’s population is, or should be, of great concern to us all (except of course if you are under the illusion that the meek will inherit the earth. Luckily, with the Conservatives in charge there will be little inheritance tax to pay)!

As real politics is not generally taught (we are lucky that English is when you consider the appalling shortage of funding for state schools) people often don’t know who is best placed to represent them or indeed who has their best interests at heart. Perhaps an easy-to-answer questionnaire will be of use to you.

1. Do you do or have you ever done real work? And by real work I don’t mean instructing your butler as to what time you will require supper.

2. Does the estate you live on comprise of an assortment of identical dwellings with little or no room for your children to play, or does your estate open to the paying public so that the masses can help pay for the upkeep of the Orangery that was built on the proceeds of the plunder of some distant civilisation in which your forefathers took part?

3. Was your garden designed by an overworked underpaid council worker whose surname happened to be Brown, or was it designed by 'Capability'?

4. Is your ‘hedge fund’ a collection of loose change and some vouchers that you will exchange at your local B&Q for an electric trimmer, or is it part of a cunning offshore investment that your accountant has procured as a way of you avoiding tax?

5. Did you go to an underfunded but socially diverse state school, or did your parents take the sacred responsibility of parenthood so lightly that they used their inheritance to send you away to be raised by strangers, spending so many long nights crying into your pillow that you never really trusted anyone fully again and have attachment issues?

If you answered mainly yes to the first part of the questions you are not and never will be a true Conservative, so wake up and stand up for our society. A Conservative landslide will bury us all.
