Bibi is Prime Minister for the 5th term in a row. That's what happens when you have a leader who supports his country and its people, something that never seems to occur to British politicians

The real problem is, of course, that so many people just vote for the party their dad used to vote for. They haven't got the intelligence to think for themselves.

I had the local liberal party lady call the other day. That's the first time I have ever seen a councillor at my door.She said she only got involved with local issues like when they tried to close down the indoor market and currently them trying to cut back on the bus services.
She said she was didn't want to talk about national politics as it was such a complete mess.
