Those politicians can’t even do their job properly. Currently the government is failing to do it’s most crucial task, while taking control of thousands and thousands of other tasks we can easily perform ourselves. We are told that the governments’ prime job is to protect us from harm both foreign and domestic. One foreign threat we faced were the 7/11 bombings. It was rumoured to have been the handy work of Al-Qaeda, a foreign terrorist group. In the bombings a total of fifty-two innocent people lost their lives and around seven hundred others were left injured. Did the government do anything to protect those individuals?? Cleary not!! How would you feel if you got hurt because a group of people couldn’t be bothered to do their duty? It’s exactly the same with domestic harms too. As a result of politicians being lazy, innocent people are being harmed. Some may argue that the government is actually doing it’s best to protect us; however I have evidence against this. Records show that since 1998 gun crime offences in the UK have gone up from three thousand to eleven thousand. If the government were doing something to protect us from domestic harms such as these, then surely we would see the positive results. Why then have the offence numbers increased and not reduced?? Why are blameless citizens being victimised? Why are laws being broken every time the clock ticks? It’s because those pesky politicians need to pull their socks up and get working!! If the government does not do it’s most important job – who needs it? If I ruled the world I would ban politicians, along with their pointless politics.
Politicians are commonly known for breaking promises. They usually make election promises in order to gain more votes from the public just before an election take place, but all the promises they make to bring “change” to the world are all complete falsehood! Richard Nixon was a politician who ran for the American presidential elections in 1968. He promised America that he would “resolve the Vietnam War” and “bring the troops home”. However a year later, in 1969, the war was still raging. Clearly Nixon never planned on ending the war; his promise was no more than a public attention grabber. Politicians are nothing but impostors who see breaking promises as a way of tricking us into voting for them. Is it fair to falsely raise the hope of the public then disappoint them by doing the exact opposite? No it’s not! It’s like telling a toddler that you’ll give them sweets but instead you give them the wrapper! It’s complete torture! A few may argue that it’s not the politician’s fault that they don’t keep promises because the results are not always in their control. Well if this is the case, then why make the promise in the first place? Surely they are not so dim as to not know the difference between something that is likely and something that is impossible! Obliviously politicians are well aware of the impractical promises the make yet they still go ahead heartlessly and swear to make the impossible happen. That’s why if I ruled the world I would ban politicians, along with their pointless politics.
I’m sure you are all aware of the recession that the politicians have currently put our country in. the IMF have stated that the UK economy would minimize 2.8% this year, but why are we experiencing a recession? How did we get into it and who’s to be held responsible? Well, all my evidence points the finger of blame towards the government. The government has been borrowing excessive amounts of money. In 2007 they borrowed 37% of the GDP. By borrowing so much money, the politicians have to find a way to pay it back. How do they get the money to do this? By snatching it from the public of course!! They force us to pay back their debt by increasing taxes. Increasing taxes means wages will have to be reduced. Low wages means that our parents can’t spend as much on us! We are the ones that suffer! Nearly two million people in the UK have agreed to cut their wages as an alternative to unemployment. Why do we have to pay for the mistakes made by those careless politicians? It’s completely unfair! That’s why if I ruled the world I would ban politicians, along with their pointless politics.
My final reason is that politicians divide people. During elections they force us to take sides and support different parties. Different people want different things, so politicians tell people what they want to hear. One party tells hunters that they support hunting. Another party tells sports men that they support organised and competitive activities and another party tells law enforcement officers that they support a well-trained police force. All these people take different sides and instantly begin to hate all the supporters of opposite parties. In the 2005 elections 35% of the population voted Labour, 32% voted Conservative and 22% voted Liberal Democrat. We can see plainly from these statics’ that the population was divided. Politicians are turning citizens against each other; maybe even destroying family relationships by turning father against son, mother against daughter! Do you really want people who are capable of doing such horrific things, to run our country? I know I don’t! That’s why if I ruled the world I would ban politicians, along with their pointless politics.
Politicians must be forbidden from the world! They are promise breaking impostors who care only for themselves. They control our lives ad destroy the world. They do nto do the job that justifies their reason to exist! That’s why if I ruled the world I would ban politicians, along with their pointless politics.
