Cameron and Clegg

This picture has been doing the rounds on facebook. It clearly suggests that the solution to our problems is the removal of the coalition and the election of an alternative government – probabley Labour

I have to admit that they are – and indeed do look like – a couple of heartless conmen but removing them will make little difference.

Politician who claim that the removal of these conmen will solve our problems are indeed conmen themselves.

Send these two men to the moon if you want but it will make little difference.

It’s because the present system is not geared to meeting our needs but to making profits for businesses and the rich people who own and control them. At the moment this capitalist system is in an economic crisis where profits have fallen. The only way out for the system is to restore profits at our expense.

That’s why what our wages can buy has shrunk. It’s why benefits are being slashed.

It’s the system that’s to blame, not those elected to run it. That’s why changing the politicians in charge makes no difference. As the saying goes, “changing governments changes nothing”. It will be like this as long as the profit system lasts. So there is no point in voting for parties that accept this system.

The alternative is to change to a new system based on satisfying our needs, where the places where wealth is produced will no longer be owned by profit-seeking businesses but will be owned and democratically controlled by us all.
