So what are the politicians doing for us?

Knock knock, whos there - my local labour can-of-dates, hello mate what the jasus do you want?
Well my vote it seems, and i says fine, but what are you going to do for me as a motorcyclist, I plead my case for low fuel comsuption and low conjestion impact on the roads, low parking needs and so on and so forth.
Know what i got?
The biggest dumb look i've ever seen and then the facts as i had presented them rehashed and spat back at me, to which i says "well i was actually thinking of some sort of tax relief for doing my bit and all", ah yes that got him, the f***er couldn't leave fast enough. What was i thinking, that the bollix might have been interested, silly me. does leave me with a bit of a problem about who to vote for, 'cus i can't see any of the other wankers being any better. I wonder what the greens will say

yeah its not like i was asking for anything major, just abit of recognition for the whole biking culture thing, don't know what his problem was, if i put a solar panel on my roof i get government rebates, surely my sub 1 litre bike is doing less harm to the environment then the countless 4x4 mpvs that infect this country like an ulgy dose of genital crabs. Needless to say i didn't get on to the nitty gritties of it all with him before he high tailed it.
Has anyone had anymore positive experiences with the "fools in power"

sorry, just realised that this thread might have been better placed in the politics and law section, - but hey there is an election soon, so

right i've had a look through most of the big hitters web sites and lo and behold i can't find any policies addressing the motorcycling community. Surely there must be some politicians that are bike friendly, and i don't want to hear about that tosspot Brian Tamaki and nutball church.
