Blair poll rating slumps further :
"BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair finished the week with a succession of bad opinion polls for both him and his Labour Party despite his efforts to recover from heavy losses in local elections.
Mr Blair's massive May 5 shake up of his cabinet changed nothing, because many perceived it as a bid to divert attention from the bruising his party suffered in the previous day's English municipal council elections."
I think your "average" person has come to the conclusion that real people with their real, everyday problems and values are far more important and worthwhile than our elected "leaders" who seem to be a group apart on a completely different path and mission from us. They don't value what we value, they don't like what we like, they do not value us, they don't want to know what we think, they think we are stupid, they don't care about our friends and families. We want real people who can govern and run our countries and our world in a way we value. We like each other, we squabble a bit but sort it out, we want enough money to eat drink and be merry, we want a place with trees, birds, animals and fresh water. We want to talk to people and help them when they are stuck. We rally, we care, we laugh and we do not squander life and money. So if Blair is slumping, well, they all seem to have lost their shine. They are not like us. Average people are doing heroic things on a daily basis and they are managing chaos with monotonous regularity. Thing is, you can trust your average person to help you out when you're in trouble. Average people are actually far stronger, more durable, more multifacited and more articulate about what the real issues are. Your mate is going to keep you out of trouble and hold on tight to you when it gets rough and then they'll crack up laughing with you and make you feel so much better about yourself. Our leaders have excelled in making us feel useless and inadequate.
