Boo the Prime Minister

Now, this blog isn’t primarily a political blog. However there are things that are done in the name of politics that affect us all, and right now the behaviour of our government is having a profound impact on the ability of millions to get on with their everyday lives. In particular, the government’s inept management of our economy and its shambolic fiscal policies are destroying jobs and wealth. 

What’s to be done? I believe that only an election can bring any hope of a cure (and such cure, when it comes will be neither easy nor painless). Yet the one man with the power to call an election isn’t listening. To all challenges his response is: leave us to sort it out. But we don’t want you to sort it out Prime Minister; you created this mess in the first place.

My suggestion then is that all right thinking people make their views clearly known by routinely booing the Prime Minister and his ministers. If, whenever and wherever the PM makes a public appearance, he is roundly booed the message will be hard to ignore. Cry ’shame’ too if you will, but keep it simple. Booing is an unambiguous way of expressing displeasure; it is universally understood; and it gives no room to respond. Booing does not elicit a reply, it will not allow the PM to engage in phoney debate (’I'm taking the difficult decisions we need’). Booing sends a clear message: it’s time to go.
