N’Jai The Writer

All laugh and jokes in the Houses Of Parliament..

These days the average, hardworking citizen finds themselves waking up to constant negative newspaper articles, news reports, radio discussions and such regarding the buzz acronym of the last 24 months (CC), no not congestion charge, but CREDIT CRUNCH.

While one wonders how the country is being led financially, the question that also springs to mind is whether the MP’s even rally care too much about this situation that it leaves the average citizen in. After watching Prime Ministers’ Questions’ my initial doubts were even further enhanced.

The back and forth banter between the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition, although entertaining, did not serve the purpose of the public, rather than discuss pressing issues, they seemed more content to nit-pick at eachother and even when they did get down to meaningful discourse, the delay in answers and constant back-tracking made it increasingly eveident that there were lie’s and cover-ups that were being clearly exposed by David Cameron.

I know, I know.. People don’t wanna hear about my discontent with politics as to most, it’s boring however I am interested as it’s a subject that as a writer one should at least be aware of and furthermore, when they are discussing raising VAT to 18.9% and beyond etc I think you need to sit up and pay at least a small bit of attention as if you’re complaining about the credit crunch now, then… It could get worse?!

One final thought though, I cannot understand why there are so few women in the Houses Of Parliament and also no representation from any of the ethnic minorities (no, not even the ‘token’ Dianne Abbott).. I know my local constitiuent is Asian but to see him in Houses Of Parliament at PMQ’s? That’s another question.
