Reply #6: Our political and economic structures [View All]

are simply not capable of dealing with the problems that now face them. Cameron's Tories are just as clueless as Labour. None of the parties seem capable of tackling the huge problem of debt default combined with spiraling fuel costs. Far sighted politicians would have at least made some attempt to tackle the issue of energy dependence in the UK but as usual it is all spin and sound bites. No one in politics has the guts to take on the corporate vested interests. What is starting to catch up with politicians is that they can privatize the delivery of some service but they can not privatize the blame that follows when it all goes wrong. They now find themselves in the worst of all worlds where they get the flak from the public but they do not actually control delivery. Poetic justice.
