Hey what's new, we've suffered from the ministrations of unelected spin doctors for the last 7 years at least. In the UK every time the Conservative Party announces a good policy, the Labour Party steals it. however that's no surprise, as the Labour Party is only the Conservative Party wearing a red tie.
Politicians are the same the world over, remember what Billy Connolly says, 'Don't vote, it only encourages them'
