That's Politics, it applies to every Politician in any Party in any Goverment in any Country, with the exception of Communist Countries and Dictatorships.

So you'll be off to Cuba, Zimbabwe or some other African country if you want to avoid it.

use your brain

you recon the state of the global economy is caused by bad policy decisions by the labour party

a change of governemnt wont really make fuck all difference in this modern world so all you end up doing is pingponging between the 2 major parties so neither has any chance to actually do any good

All the main political parties are a joke. I think the Conservatives are the best of a bad bunch.

yes the current crisis is world wide so are you saying the world got us in a trillion debt,the world opened are boarders and signed the european constitution with out even asking us if we wanted some of our sovereignty taken away?Are you saying the government could not have stopped/cut back the borrowing situation that got out of control years ago?are you saying the labour government could not of done anything about this in this country??

Neither party will make any significant difference, its still the same civil servants and advisers essentially making the decisions.

Where would you move to? As you would be surprised what levels of debt most countries have!
