What is the point of this government ?

You should try working in retail. Its a real eye opener in terms of alerting you to how many utter idiots there are out there. And each and every one of them has the vote, And it doesnt take a lot to persuade idiots to vote for idiotic things that are not even in their own best interests. Tory electoral successes utterly depend upon this.

And if you have never worked in retail or any other role that involves interaction with average Joe Public, try doorstepping in support of any political party of your choice. There really are a worryingly large number of utter twats and idiots out there in sufficient numbers to decide electoral outcomes. Intelligent and thoughtful voters from left to right are utterly swamped in terms of numbers by the twats and idiots, and it is  they who decide the outcome of elections.

Brutal reality. And reality check incoming. The problem with democracy is that for good outcomes it is entirely dependent upon stupid people voting intelligently. And that - unsurprisingly enough - is proving to be a problem.
