{"pk":2624,"title":"Protest Vote to Bollocktics ","description":"Bollocktics! Why should colour matter?\r\nHi, I'm Karsten Evans. You might remember me from previous local elections standing for the Swindon Org UK party, the Green party and now as an Independent.\r\nFed up of expense scandals, secret deals, rising Residential parking fees?\r\nDo you like me feel that politics is mainly a load of obfuscated bollocks and excuses?\r\nYou don’t trust the ‘system’ where a party can be 3rd according to the number of votes they\r\nreceive, but get the most seats in Parliament, or where residents views on parking are\r\nignored by ruling councillors.\r\nWant to express your frustration, but believe there is no point in voting?\r\nI did too!\r\nI am standing in Central locally and in South Swindon in the General Election, so that every vote for me can be counted as a protest!\r\nIn Central, it is a protest against rise in the Parking permit fees and a vote of no confidence in the parking Dept. of SBC.\r\nIn the General Election, it is a protest about the low standards of Members of Parliament and the government civil service that should have been checking them.\r\nRemember the TV sitcom 'Yes, Minister!'?\r\nSupposedly a satirical spoof, but recently seems more like a documentary! :-)","party":{"party_id":null,"party_name":null},"people":[],"images":[{"image":"https://images.electionleaflets.org/leaflets/f25c8074c4da6ed7b58f764185fdba0f.jpg","image_type":null},{"image":"https://images.electionleaflets.org/leaflets/fb533fcf570fe2f05a76d2c4de0f4ea0.jpg","image_type":null}],"first_page_thumb":"https://images.electionleaflets.org/thumbs/350/leaflets/f25c8074c4da6ed7b58f764185fdba0f.png","date_uploaded":"2010-04-23T23:29:32+01:00","date_delivered":"2010-04-23T00:00:00+01:00","status":"live"}
