Reviews of the politicians kissing babies and running governments around the world; applaud and criticize the decisions they make and their implications.

So bad it works
Towards the end of last year, when the uk had a general election, I heard a theory I hadn't heard before. There were the usual posters, tv adverts and buzzwords but there were always some that stood out and got talked about the most. They were the posts that were unclear, muddled or simply looked lie they were done in a school project. There were 2 or 3 word slogans that either covered many things as were so vague or nothing as they were confusing.

The Age of Political Arrogance
Political arrogance has been around for a while now, at least for the majority of the time I've been a passenger on Earth. I've never been politically naive, but this time I really was. I thought that, at least in a time of crisis like this one that we are living in now, people would come together to pull through so we can go back to fighting each other over the next thing.

Clone Dictators of North Korea
Clone Dictators of North Korea? North Korean dictator Kim Jong il's long awaited journey into the assuredly horrid fiery afterlife waiting for him is now a reality. Thoughts of him being roasted slowly yet eternally, hog tied on a spit while myriad minor demons rectally abuse him with pineapples dance merrily through the relieved heads of nearly all South Koreans, escaped North Koreans, and most the world's heads of state.

What Is The Truth About Boris Johnson In Intensive Care
The rumours started a week after Boris Johnson went into self-isolation in the top floor flat of No 11 Downing Street. The story, spread by the PM and his ministers, had so far been convincing.

The Plot That Killed Governor William Goebel
"Politics have never been this divided," people declare about the current state of American politics. Bipartisanship does seem to be a thing of the past, as both parties dig their heels in on certain issues. However, one needs only to look at the 1899 Governor's race in Kentucky to see how bad it could be.

Life is a Carnival
About two years ago I started writing a series of connected pieces meant to describe the fall of Trump. Two years, that’s a long fall. Still, he’s far from fallen. People have to train themselves, try hard NOT to think or talk about him.

Sir Keir Starmer,The UK's Next Prime Minister?
Former Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, Sir Keir Starmer emerged as the victor in the Labour Leadership Contest, defeating Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy. Starmer replaces the former leader, Jeremy Corbyn who proved to be rather controversial for his far left ideology, branded by his supporters as 'Corbynism'. However, Starmer aims to bring the party in a more soft-left direction.

Stop Abbott
If there is no such thing as bad publicity then can someone please explain the glaring exception to the rule - Abbott. Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott is the human embodiment of the Labour Party's missteps. If ever an MP rolls their eyes, expect to see Abbott giving a nonsensical rant about ten subjects at once. Abbott is the political version of turning up to PE at secondary school and for some reason the substitute geography teacher is in charge. You know that they were hired in the first place, they must know something. So why are they hunched in the corner of the gym, fumbling to find their words, whilst being pummelled by basketballs?
