Voting in 2014... Do you consider your future?

So the Local and European Elections 2014 are nearing and a lot of people seem to be siding with the “no nonsense” vote for UKIP. It is good that people are waking up and realizing that this country needs reform on a monumental scale but before anybody takes the plunge and puts their tick next to any candidates has anybody really researched any party and what they stand for?

I think by this point everyone knows that Labour and Conservative are two cheeks of the same ass with multiple assholes in between ready to shit on all of us, Lib Dem are the catalyst in the shitting on all of us... only lubricating the tainted sphincter walls of the two cheeks. So who does that leave then? Just UKIP?

No, there is still one quiet contender in all of this and a very concerned quiet contender they are. The Green Party have been around for some time now and usually get tarnished with a “tree hugger” brush, although there is some truth in that why be ashamed? We all live on a very unstable planet as it is and there doesn't seem to be much effort to try and aid the recovery. At the moment under Tories we are seeing an increase in the unconventional Fracking process as to make Britain “self sufficient” for gas. What they fail to tell you is the process uses more energy than it creates, poisons water supplies, weakens the bedrock (sinkholes appearing), pollutes the air and the end product has a tenfold higher radon count than in the gas supplied to your home today. If that isn't bad enough then the Tories are trying to remove wind farms because they are “eye sores”... I would rather my view obstructed than my water poisoned.

Now surely UKIP wouldn’t allow this sort of barbaric/counter productive set of events to continue, would they?

Wrong – They have, will and do. UKIP campaigned and won against the building of the world’s second largest offshore wind farm off the coast of Devon. This huge project was to be marked a huge push forward for the UK becoming energy self sufficient by green means. UKIP also plan for a push in the Fracking fiasco, promoting the same rhetoric suicidal message as the Tories by saying “it will make Britain Gas self sufficient”. All this is playing really nicely in their eyes as the Ukraine/Russia gas supplies are on unstable terms at present and threatening Europe with gas shortages... Promotion through fear (not to repeat any history...).

The Green Party have been campaigning for renewable energy solutions, actual long term solutions that protect the environment and will be sustainable far into the future. They propose a ban  on the Fracking companies and their dangerous methods of shale gas extraction, thus protecting water and air supplies and not forgetting less poison filled lorries on our already over used and damaged highways.

I have left out the immigration issue on this blog purposely as that is an issue that affects people differently dependent on what area you live in. But what does include us all is this planet and the ground we stand upon, without this vital lifeline we are all in serious trouble...

So before you vote this year please read into what you are voting for. Do you want a party that will carry on more nonsense corporate sponsored destruction for private profit or should we get the lands we live on in order, not for ourselves but for generations to come?

Basically; would you like to show your children/grand children the amazing spectacles of nature or try and describe how it used to be and how it all went because of the greed of men?!

“Why didn’t you try and stop them Granddad?”

“I was busy reading the likes of The Mirror and watching the BBC and not actually looking around at what was really going on...”

Don’t be brainwashed, think for yourselves and think for the future. Protect your future; protect your children’s future.
