Politicians of all colours have let the electorate down,with catastrophic blunders,because they are so short sighted with a total lack of governance,as they are too busy feathering thier own nests.
The system has been bolstered up with vast borrowings, which will take more than one generation to repay, mainly to prevent a break down in society, which would have sent us on a slippery slope into an economic dark age oblivion, and the possible situation similar to the rise of dictatorships in Europe, (Germany, Italy, and Spain) together with Russia during the 20s and 30s,where populations had to toe the Party line or face a very uncertain future.
This time they would have long fingers on atomic bomb buttons!
