Actually here in the uk we are having problems with increasing amounts of
both government and buracrecy. I read the other day that half of our new
laws come from Brussels. The European Union is steadily encroaching into our
sovereignty. I don't know how all this stupidness got started, I'm all for a
common currency (though not the Euro) and fair trade on a level playing
feild but we should contol most of our own country's decisons.
Our buisness's are also suffering from being choked by red tape since this
dang Lefty Labour government got in power (and again quite recently:-().
Oh, and the cost of government has also spiralled with all the spin doctors,
advisors and hangers on they employ.
Steve who want's less government and a hard line on perv's.
