Incompetence. I don’t remember when there was last a competent PM or government - not in my lifetime, certainly, and I am no spring chicken.


I don't think so, I kind of wish but he was a skilled human rights lawyer, the head of CPS, an utter moron wouldn't be able to achieve this much, he's not a lettuce.

I'm afraid it's a malicious intent here, and I also wish I could see a competent government, but until one takes on FPTP and media dictating the policy, nothing changes.

The hope is in the angry youngsters, maybe they could vote Greens+LibDems in.


Alternative interpretation: the purpose of a system is what it does, and the PMs and governments are competent at something else than what you think they should be competent at.
