New Gov

Some countries are clearly better run than others and more sucessful. Considering that ours isn't very well managed, if you could invite another government to come and run Britain, which one would you vote for?

Japan, Zimbabwe, the USA, ...?

To clarify, I mean that this foreign government would repllace ours and make all decisions, like a company buying out another and replacing the management.

Isn't it?

*Looks at Britain*

*looks at rest of world*

I dunno we seem to be doing better than the vast majority.

German probably. But we're really not in that bad shape.

neocon · 14 Jan 2011 at 20:52

That's ok if you think there's no problem.

I've heard recently that education is not what it once was in this country and we're very far down global league tables.

Public transport isn't good and healthcare isn't as good as it could be.

Not what we said. You're trying to lead the thread somewhere, I'm not interested in being led.

One of the Scandinavian nations? Be hard pressed to really tell the difference though....

neocon · 14 Jan 2011 at 20:59

What about Switzerland, they have punctual trains and strict immigration?

Tunisia don't seem to be doing too bad at the moment.

Here's the part where you start turning the thread down the road you originally intended.

They also have Nazi gold, and secrecy laws that would make the Masons blush.

People will start riots if they raise the tax levels to their levels.

The Healthcare in the UK isnt as bad as people make out.

Given we are a small nation with virtualy nil in the way of natural resources I say we dont do half bad. Most of the better nations have either much higher taxes or wealth from natural resources.

Healthcare in this country is the envy of the world. It's human nature to think the grass is greener on the other side but in terms of value for money for all its failings the NHS is almost unbeatable.

How about you give them more than a few months to try and undo 13 years of damage?

Either that or I vote for a Tunisia's government, they're all available right now...

Britannia rule the waves!

Just not with the little floaty boats we took away from you!

What have a bunch of foreigners running the country, never.
