I split my time between the Uk and Australia, and with politics it just feels like same shit, different country.

I don't like the current government, but I just think the assumption that everything would be so much better with a different one is naive, they are all the same.

Think about your statement, you visit two Countries, who's members have the same opinion and you think their naive.

Don't confuse not wanting the political party in power, with thinking there's a better alternative just waiting to be voted in.

The UK is in the shite in so many ways, I think it’s citizens have a right to be a bit miffed.

I agree, my point was more that having watched the ruling party change in Oz, that there is still seemingly a lot of dissatisfaction and nothing significant has changed, look at Obama for another example. Saving the universe in everyones eyes when he was elected, record breakingly unpopular a very short time on.

Does anyone seriously think a different political party would have lined up the battleships and nuked the pirates yet?

I think Nick Griffin probably would given half a chance.

(i'm not advocating the BNP in any way, shape or form by the way. I just get the feeling that that sort of thing might be right up his street.)
