Subject: RE: BS: Happy Days Are Here Again - Cameron UK
Cameron nicked that policy straight out of the constitution of Bhutan, and his policies bear NO RESEMBLANCE.


         
             Domain of the Dragon King.



Bhutan has a benevolent king who sees his job as being to ensure the happiness of his people.

It was he and his government who coined the phrase "Gross National Happiness" and who have advocated this approach to policy at the UN.

His position is that Gross National Product does nothing to measure the prosperity of nation/state, but if anything, trying to reach GNP targets and GDP targets is the root cause of many problems globally as a result of its social, environmental and spiritual consequences on peoples lives.

The proof of the pudding is of course in the eating ...

... what do the people of Bhutan have to say about their king? ...

... They Love him!
