I expect this won't be a popular view, but here goes.
With total media saturation via TV, papers, the net in general and social networking sites in particular and viral marketing groups it has never been easier to sway the population.
Look no further than Kevin 07 and our national disatisfaction not two years later.
Look no further than the "better the devil you know view" (no particular offense meant yeldub, its widespread) and not two months later look at the growing natiional disatisfaction.
Its like at election time individual good sense takes leave whilst we have reassuring group hugs as the most persausive political party sells its soul to the devil.
