Re-Elect Steve Pound
I was rather busy last month and haven’t worked on my blog much. But knowing that the General Election is less than a week away, I decided to do one more exception and write about politics. Many of my readers are asking which party I support. In this post I will try to answer all your questions.
Now first but the most important statement: I don’t support ANY party. The reason is simple; I strongly believe (see my posts on economics) that the politics is simply a subset of the economy. Therefore I would never trust any politician that claims he would be able to do “Global changes…”. I don’t believe that any party or government could protect all people from powerful banks, companies, lenders, etc. If any of these entities would raise their eyebrows and say: “Bad Government! Naughty Government!”, then ANY Government would start wagging it’s tail and looking guilty. Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem – everything is pretty much predefined, full stop.
But I am going to vote, not for a party and not for manifestos. I am going to vote for an individual. And honest, I don’t care to what party he belongs as far as I know him as a man of honour. I am talking about Steve Pound, our Ealing MP. I know Steve Pound for quite some time and he always left an impression of an honest man. Last year I had to ask Steve to help me and he did it, straight away. Without redirecting me to his secretaries, without giving standard replies. He just went and did much more than I’ve asked for. And he gets my respect, fully.
I don’t know my Conservative Candidate, I don’t know my Lib Dem Candidate, they might run campaigns and walk the streets of Ealing – I don’t know them. But I know Steve Pound, I know that I can accidentally bump into Steve on our street and have a nice chat, I know that when I email him I get a reply from him, sometimes within just half an hour. I know that if Steve Pound disagrees with “big politics” he would not keep quiet and would speak out. I know that Steve cares about his constituency. All the above knowledge is enough for me to go and vote for re-electing Steve Pound.
This is what I think about politics: global things are impossible to change – objective laws of development would not allow it. But if we have good people in the Parliament, may be we could have a bit better society and a bit better situation.
Steve Pound didn’t endorse this post, he would, most probably, disagree with some of my statements. Making this post is entirely my own decision because I want to make my contribution for our community in Ealing.
Bottom line: I am going to vote to re-elect Steve Pound, and I want all my readers from Ealing to follow. Let’s have good people in the Parliament, doesn’t matter which party they belong to.
