This is superstion. Nothing bad ever happens on a day like this.

The General Election happened yesterday and I can’t work out which, if any of these states I’m in now:

1. Denial
2. Confusion
3. Anger
4. Discombobulated
5. Relieved

There’s more. But the main point is that something happened which is so far off the scale I don’t know what to do. There’s not much I can do. One option is to just ignore the result and carry on with life, just like I have to do anyway. Perhaps, our Prime Minister Johnson has played a blinder to win with a majority of 80 and now he’s going to to nice stuff. He can do what ever he wants now. All of this time, he might have tricked the hard line of his party to vote for him and now he’s going to spread the wealth around and tackle global heating head on. That would be brilliant. Or, all of the policies he has in his head that will scare the rest of us will be implemented and magically they work. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? He said that things would be better and who am I to not trust a serial lair?

The whole country is going to have to work out what to do. A compensation has been made after the Brexit vote of 2016, where you could argue that the electorate was tricked in to voting out of the EU. This General Election was a double or quits gamble to get out of the hole you’re in. But if that fails, you lose everything. I can’t see how this happened and it feels suspicious. How could safe Labour seats switch to the Tories?

Politics has changed, but people haven’t. Labour voters in the North never cared about social justice. Politics has always been about voting for the party that will benefit you most. After all, no one votes to be worse off, unless you could afford it and most of the people how could afford it wouldn’t do that. Which at this point makes everything more confusing. The political left in this country screwed everything up with their strange London ideas that confused the rest of the country and the connection with their base in the North was lost.

The seeds for this were planted 40 years ago with the miners’ strike and the break up of the unions. The political right wing in the UK think in decades and everything is about power. If only they had the same view on carbon emmissions. But when it comes to the important things, they place their faith in the markets and the invisible hand.

Oh well. It’ll be Christmas soon!
