Why is British politics so fragmented? : Comments
By Mal Fletcher, published 9/4/2015Will any political party ever again command a mandate to govern on its own? Will any party leader ever again speak with authority to and for a constituency beyond their own members and committed supporters?

The reason British & our politics are so fragmented is the standard fate of democracy. Once all the bludgers realise they can vote for a living, rather than work for it, the system is doomed. It is just a matter of time.
No party could ever be elected with nation building policies. The huge screams when Abbott & co wanted to trim some of the ridiculous spending of our previous dills should show you that. The only way to get elected is with the vote buying policies we have seen in Victoria & Queensland recently.
We have a huge bureaucracy doing little but sweep up tens of thousands od useless graduates from our equally bloated university sector. Add a health care sector, paying surgeons millions to stick spare parts into mostly totally useless people, just because they can, & between these 2 alone we have a burden the productive sector is unable to support long term.
Add the NGOs, & welfare sector, & there is no possible chance we can sustain our spending, but to say so is electoral poison.
The Greeks gave us democracy, & are now showing us the ultimate result of it's implementation.
All the bleeding hearts, who think we can afford everyone a comfortable standard of living would never vote for a party with policies for a competent government.
So eat, drink, fornicate & be merry folks, because tomorrow we'll be paying the price of the 70 year party since WW11, & it won't be pretty.
