It was only when the poll tax riots happened that i became aware of politics and to have that as my first impression did make me wonder why so many people were angry. I asked my parents and remember them telling me about the miners and the unions being destroyed. This is when i became interested in politics as i was curious as to why someone who was universally hated by everyone in my community and my country kept getting voted back in. How is this possible ? I found out about what being in the Union meant. It meant a country never getting the government it voted for. Why did we accept it ?This woman was reviled and destroyed our communities and our industries. Our country believed in Labour the problem was the rest of the uk didn't and we were stuck with the tories for 18 years and then when labour finally got power we were got Blair who turned Labour from the left to the right and idolised the very woman that we reviled. Did we learn from the 18 years of government we didn't vote for ? We will find out next year in the referendum. Make no mistake a no vote means continuing to let another country choose our government and if you get stuck with cameron for 18 years the 80s will seem like utopia compared to what he will do to Scotland.
