Considering what a shambles the Tory Party has been in since Thatcherism became understood, I have to say it's a godsend for a criminal like George Bush that he was able to recruit a thug like Tony Bliar for his gang. I keep hoping for a "great awakening" among the American public when they finally take the red pill and end this nation's nightmare fascination with theocracy and primitivist fundamentalism. Unfortunately, the signs seem to be that America is going to have to descend much further into its dementia before reason can once again prevail.

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.
