Well indeed it is a strange anomoly. Im sure all decent people politicians included wouldnt cheer at the news of job losses, but the strange situation is this...5million job losses and a cynic could see the opposition rubbing their hands with glee. All failure is good news to the opposition...which is one of the reasons politics has slipped into
disrepute. The more failure and misery we all go through, the more the opposition see it as a golden bonanza, as its the easiest possible route to Downing St.
Suppose for a minute, and it is a pipedream, but suppose David Cameron came up with a foolproof plan to fix all our current woes, wouldnt it be great in the interests of the wider country, rather than in their own power-gain interests, to say across the despatch box to GordonB..."look Gordon I have a great plan, Im anxious to share it with you, why dont we work together on this"
Politics would suddenly go respectable.
