Would love to know where that quote was from.

It pretty much sums up the state of play in the UK.

We've had 10 years of Blair/Brown's NuLabour government and their benefits packages paid directly into the electorates bank accounts have all but destroyed the democratic process in many areas of the UK, if not the country as a whole.

NuLabour can do pretty much whatever they like and lots of the electorate are too financially dependent on the benefits they receive to dare to vote them out of power.

Luckly it would seem that, as the economy worsens, this policy is becoming harder for them to finance and the rest of the UK are getting sick of the ridiculous stealth taxs/charges and fines that they are being forced to pay just to keep Gordon and his cronies in power.

Not sure what that has to do with Apple and Memory chips :-s

I think I need to sit down quietly for a minute :)

going off topic seems to be in fashion around here anyways.

on your point, and against the quote in question, the australian public voted in a labor party government that promised slightly less public spending that the liberal/national coalition party, ending over a decade of liberal government.

during this time, the gov. had a pretty decent budget surplus to play with yet we still voted for less spending?
