right, a tad exaggerating, that.
no real excuses, folks, except that i'm sufferin a malady called blogger's block. sort of.
alrighty, in brief, the general elections took place on the saturday past. only for the ruling party to claim a "decisive" [whatever that means] victoryof 66% thereabouts, against the collective opposition's 33% or summat. and this time round, not only said collective opposition fielded a huge number of candidates; they were mostly made up of completely politically-clueless but mighty cosmopolitan [they once stayed and worked in places like Sweden or France as a nanny for a couple of yonk's, like] mong's in their early thirties and under.
yeah, only on the wee islet that disgruntled whiny bollocks-spouting youngling's could become politician's. serving the needs as well as a brave [::snigger::] voice for their equally whiny bollocks-spoutin intellectually-impaired peer's.
it's a piss-poor result for said party as compared to past election's [2001's is 75% which already was an indication of their performance - see piss-poor bit]. who are they kiddin when their "veteran" MP's took turns to publicly emphasise [read: propaganda campaign overload] their "decisive" [whatever that means] victory everyday shortly after the elections? if that doesn't smack of utter desperation, i don't know what is.
no, graspin at [whatever remaining] straw's, more like it. further proof: see the *first-ever* overseas voting exercise for loyal albeit sad wee islander's. which is a mighty sharp u-turn from their "we don't need no overseas voting to boost our ratings as we know we'd win *decisively* anyways!" mandate.
oh, and the increase in underhand dirty tricks which they begun resorting prior to 1997's and 2001's elections. for instance, the latter which is "givin" each and every wee islander a certain sum of dosh [soz, "government's bonus"] due to the well-performing economy. indeed, who are they kiddin etc etc etc.
this certain amount of dosh [ [soz, "government's bonus" - in instalments spread over 3 year's, mind] was electronically transferred [my, how technologically advanced, eh the wee islet?] to em wee islanders' bank accounts. BUT - and it's a massive BUT - wee islander's could only lay their grubby paw's on the coveted dosh [soz, "government's bonus"] only and only after their application's [eh wot?] been submitted. electronically, as they'd encouraged you's to - see technologically advanced bit.
btw, the sum of dosh [soz, "government's bonus"] is according to the type of flat they live [the "bigger" in size it is, the lesser you'll get] and income earnings. and to think that some wee islander's swallowed the entire well-performing economy fib hook, line and sinker. when in fact this certain sum of dosh [soz, "government's bonus"] is actually over-surplus of overtaxed and overcharged daily costs - transport, petrol, fast movin consumer goods, and summat.
and since voting is mighty compulsory [else anyone found absent will be fined and then sent to gaol; not to mention, publicly shamed], the only way that dissatisfied populace could register their grievances is through voting for the opposition [some of whom once stayed and worked in places like Sweden or France as a nanny for a couple of yonk's, like] or "spoilt" votes.
and what did i say about em ruling party aka legitimate gangster's panicking? "decisive" victory, me arse. oh, and i thought they called em "au pair" in France?
oh and btw, i've just checked the figures again. 66.6% eh? wee islander's ought to be spooked.
