Yesterday I sent back my completed application form for another years membership of the Monster Raving Loony Party (OMRLP). It marks my eleventh year of membership.
I joined the OMRLP in 1997 because I didn't like Tony Blair. Everyone was jumping up and down saying what a brilliant leader he was and how he would change Britain, but I didn't know what he stood for. I didn't know what his policies were, what he planned to do and what would happen. I still don't think much has happened in the last ten years or so to be honest. I didn't want the conservatives in again, but I didn't like the look of New Labour either.
I was just wondering - what motivated people on OTF to get interested in politics and to end up taking the view they have. Was it a particular event or rally, or was it just a gradual thing?
