Great quote about "moderate" politics...

Well, I suppose you could create moderate politics, but why on Earth would you want to? With an ever-increasing chasm between the rich and the poor, a planet that just entered another mass-extinction event, and the replacement of informed debate with rampant and unchecked hyper-bollocks, what sort of person would condone a tepid brand of politics that passive-aggressively enforces the status-quo?

Because the status-quo is awful – right – you do realise that?

That’s why Status Quo named themselves after it.


(Note: for those who don't know, Status Quo is the name of a long-lived UK "boogie rock" band)
