Color wrote:Maybe the problem with Britain is similar to Norway, they have too strong socialistic roots and come from ages of monarchy. People have kinda grown accustomed to things being that way and lack guts to stand up to do something about it. Any other party which has ideas contrary to the socialistic mainstream parties, are mockered and seen upon as inferior.

And the die-hard socialists won't let their power slip too much. Obviously they don't listen too much to the people, but run their own game and just hope people follow the old tradition of voting for them. I get the impression socialism is not about listening to the people, it's about the state deciding whats best for the people not the people themselves. The problem is that there are too many people out there who agree to that and vote these parties into goverment. I for one like to decide for myself what is best for me, maybe I should start my own party :-)

Oh, and suspect this will start a heated debate, so . . :hijacked: 8)
Not with me as IMHO well stated...

It's not going to happen here because we're a wet country! I presume it was a cash cow in Ontario too, but people stood up for themselves and forced change. It will never happen in (not so) Great Britain! :x
