00:00 Do you want to see a general election in the new year and how are you feeling about politicians in general in 2024?
00:06 Yeah I really do need to see a general election.
00:10 We've hit almost like a plateau of where we're going at the moment.
00:13 Are we actually going to have a government that listens to people or are we just going to have a government that buries the head and just carries on as they want to do?
00:20 What I would really like to see the government to do is to actually say what do the people want?
00:24 Come out to the people, don't tell us, you know, say this is what we're doing.
00:27 Actually be able to have an open session of MPs where we can actually say this is what we want.
00:32 You know, I don't want to make an appointment to come and see my MP in six weeks time.
00:35 I'd like to message you and get a reply quite quickly and say this is what I need locally.
00:39 You know, you've got your health care, your education issues and obviously we've got, you know, the small boats issues.
00:44 But at the end of the day they still live in this big cloud of not knowing what we want on the ground basically.
00:51 And how soon would you want to see a general election?
00:53 Well, they say May. May's good enough for me. January 5th will do me. Yeah, I'm free. I'll vote. I'll vote that day.
00:59 I mean, if they say May, May is good.
01:01 Do you think there should be a general election as soon as possible and what's your view on politicians in general in 2024?
01:07 I think they're really struggling to find what politics is about.
01:11 I really do think that they need to go into themselves and see what the priorities are, to have a vision for the future rather than get stuck in these awful battles.
01:23 And would you want a general election as soon as possible?
01:26 The thought of all the campaigning is very off-putting.
01:31 Nonetheless, if there was a dialogue and people got an understanding of each other and then came to a reasonable, just a reasonable selection of people who care about society, care about the world we live in, just care about us all.
