Bobert....thanks for that...   :0)

Trouble is, I dont see "party policies" in black and white.
There are some good things in conservative policies and some shockingly stupid things in "liberal" political thinking.

The problem is that both are constrained by this economic/social system, which means that whenever they are elected to power they tend to act in the same way....as slaves to the system.

We have experienced this in the UK with mr Blair's "New labour".
A supposedly centre left liberal, banging the drum for war, slavishly following the hated W....privatising everything that moved, continuing and "improving" the policies of his predecessor....Mrs Thatcher.

Politicians of all persuasions know that their future lies in the survival of the Capitalist system, regardless of the fact that it is a cyclical system and we in the West are on the down side of the wheel.

Unless we are prepared to write off at least two generations of our children, we must start to make some real change in the manner in which we are governed.
