Problem being that whatever party is in power, they have the same issue or needing to borrow money because we arent paying our way.
We haven't been paying our way for years. We are content to export our work to other countries and allow foreign businesses to buy any profitable UK owned business. See
https://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/808646/economic-growth-really#Post808646Both parties are profligate because that's what Jo Public expects. Too many people are content to sit on their @ss and expect the state to provide their needs
I agree with this logic/sentiment, awkward when those two things collide. It does seem to have become "promise to win and fail to achieve" by both parties for some time now. Is that because the relationship between the public/elected has changed from "this is the program to run the country as a professional service" to "this is what they are expecting to get/keep us in" because the electorate will hang them on the sochul medier otherwise and they are insecure puppets? Tail wags dog then gets trapped in door and blames dog....
There needs to be some kind of rebalance. I have pulled up the popcorn and am watching the US election run-up with humour as all other emotions about the effects of that one going wrong defy belief. The orangemonkey party appear to be spending more time on subverting the vote process than actually campaigning to win. Perhaps not a surprise with a baboon and a third rate shape-shifting thug (other opinions are available) to work with.
Is it time to re-evaluate the objectives and working model of how the people/two party system is meant to work for the better? Perhaps we should add a fourth element to that, the press in all it's build/murder/exaggerate glory. Bring people back to a positive engagement and make it productive.
