If you were an MP

Yes, that's actually very Grumph-like. The Greens may have little funding and clout in UK, but they're big in such as Germany where they share govenrment and have even held sway. They have a full range of policies, all of them ethical and generally realistic about the state of the world (unlike some do-gooder parties)

Frankly, it's your country - is it really too much to ask that you sort out who you want to vote for and then do it? Things will never change if everyone just says 'I don't like any of the major parties so I won't vote at all' - how does that make your impact any different from someone who just doesn't give a damn?

Brilliant!

I often toyed with the idea of putting up a sp**f election poster at work, with a picture of the office president on one side, listing below it his failures, then alongside, a photo of 'My Dog', with equivalent entries of 'Would not have done this', and finishing up at the bottom of the columns with 'Unpopular with staff' and 'Very popular with staff'.

The fact was, that if the President had done nothing but sit in his room, the office would have run itself better. I sometimes wonder about that with the banks and their directors...

We're all going to hell in a hand cart ....
