One time there was a fluke and the Liberal candidate was elected in Sutton. Now they have a stranglehold almost on the local politics there.

A common aspect of British politics I have noticed over the decades. Once one is in power, and the average wussie voter concerns are being addressed, no one wants to risk a change.

The Conservatives were in power for too long, now Labour.

Not liking real change is a common weakness. In the manufacturing business I used to hear all sorts of B/S from managers about "change". At the end of the day, real change is very rarely selected except by those managers with real balls. "Change" is almost non existent in the UK and Europe these days. The regulations are there to protect people and prevent change imho.

I still see problems with fiat based currencies in the near future. Within 5 yrs. I sincerely doubt Gordon Brown or many other influential "economists" know what they are talking about.

Happy to see your view on my concerns of course.
