You have lost your mind. Politics does that.

"Politics is the competition of half-truths."

We'd like to replace the just plain nasty with some that aren't half
sharp -
but it would be a start.

OK, another quote. This one is mine:

"Liberalism is the practise of unintended consequences."

Funny thing though - its our liberal democrats party that's propping up the
nasty party in coalition.

The nasty party makes American Republicans look like a bunch of raving
lefties!

You can sum up coalition with the following: "we couldn't keep our
electioneering 'promises' because we weren't elected".

We're heading in the same direction as 30s Germany, with a long list of
insignificant parties that serve no other purpose than split the vote and
introduce the chaos of endless coalitions.

Hitler promised to sort all that out, and the German people shouted;
"wunderbar" - and look how that turned out!



The only thing worse than multiple parties is one party.

I've got to admit that you have a bewildering number of parties. I
still don't understand how Parlimentary systems work.

The guys who wrote our Constitution debated whether to allow political
parties. It would be interesting to have a Constitution that forbids
any official recognition of political parties in government functions.
