 I think the country needs a good dose of capitalism

No thank you, It was a good dose of captilism that has lead to the global recession, if they're's anything we do not need it's capitilism.

Not quite true, rastari.

It wasn't capitalism that caused the mess - it was stupidity. When you have countries that owe a lot of public debt in the biggest of troubles, you know it wasn't capitalism.

 

I digress, its nice to see healthy debate among everyone in the UK. Seeing SamuelRSmith argue that NHS needs to be scrapped in favor of HSAs and emergency insurance makes me giddy.

Oh, as for why people are wondering why people would fall in love with Clegg and the LibDems, despite their priorities being in totally different directions - I would look to none other than our American equivilent, Barak Obama. He proved that if you can look nice, and polish a turd (in terms of policy and experience), you can win the people over, especially when you have a very unpopular leader in power. You know, that whole 'change you can believe in' speel - even if whats contained wherewithin is pure crap.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
