Unfortunately, the ability to actually think is not required to express an opinion, or indeed to vote, which is why we get so many stupid but popular decisions from our governments.
The above is just another example of abject stupidity and refusal to accept responsibility, usually from Labour voters.
I really wish there was a way to test voters, simply on the policies and who has what policies or something, it would cancel out half the votes(probably a lot more than that) by failed people who have no idea what they are voting for.
Politics should be covered in FAR more depth in school so people have a tiny bit of understanding of how things work, something simply like how debt and deficit aren't the same things for instance.
Not entirely, but anyone with half a brain could see a massive and painful depression coming under Labours spending plans, debt up to 1.4trillion in 4 years and Labour thought a 50% increase in our debt from their new plan was a GOOD thing, it honestly beggers belief. The fact that anyone voted for them is ridiculous. People just don't seem to understand we aren't in any way nearly as influencial as 50 years ago and enourmous debt won't continue to indefinately be bought as it has been. We've got the biggest deficit in the EU and we've got the fastest growing debt and deficit in the EU, all thanks to Labour.
If we don't get it in check we're all completely screwed, it doesn't help that too many people went through this recession scared from papers hyperbole about losing their jobs, not having enough food and I dunno, Daily Mail probably threw in the idea of civil war over resources.
When it went by with very little fuss people think a recession and eventual depression won't mean anything at all. The problem is we avoided large problems by employing those who lost jobs in public sector jobs or put on benefits, with HUGE spending on public sector increases to cover these jobs and huge increases in benefits spending for years which is a large part of the reason we got into a recession in the first place. The problem was Labour borrowed their way out of a short term situation they got into by borrowing too much.
They've delayed the problem short term but made it much much much more severe in the long run. The UK really didn't experience the recession as we borrowed our way around it.
People will be shocked, completely, if we hit a real recession of proper depression which without spending being cut dramatically, will happen.
