@Matt: Just read up on your home town, it does sound grim! The biggest farce around the West Midlands is the Public (Google it if your interested). It's a joke, considering the area (they pulled the baths down), cost (plus relocation of the bus station) and the failure of it not attracting crowds (well duh, as if people from the West Mids are going to flock to draw crap on a touch screen and discuss its artistic merit). Yet people that think up such ideas and then have the audacity to think it will be a booming success still exist high up in control of our societies.
Matt have you thought of politics? You have the ability of thinking , even if our ideals don't match in places I always have time for people that can think. There have been a couple of young labour candidates around the west mids, one almost got in (not that I recommend joining the Labour party of course ). Either that or get prepared to travel for a suitable job (like I did ).
I was expecting a mess whoever got in. I had no time for Gordon though, so at least one good thing has turned up. I liked John Prescott, Mo Molan and Robin Cooke but I took an instant dislike to the Milliband Bros.
That Public thing looks awful. I gather from Wikipedia it cost upwards of £50million (reminds me of the Millennium Dome in that respect; expensive, ugly and ultimately crap). It would be funny if it weren't so tragic! And you say it struggles to pull the crowds in? I've been on the website and I still don't even know what it is, is it some kind of museum or what?
I have thought of 'doing' politics, but never really as a job. I wouldn't know what party to join either, but you're probably right in hinting at Labour. No matter how disillusioned I get with them, or how far away they stray from their roots, I know in the long run they're probably for me (even if I have never actually voted for them). What job do you do by the way? How come you had to travel?

There's alot of truth to this. I think Cameron will be a man of action though, considering in his first full day in charge they've already decided to cancel the 3rd runway at Heathrow, and the arguments about that had been brewing for years!
