Re: The withering of Labour (none / 1)

Why is it that anytime I pay attention to politics, it boils down to the characteristics of the politicians and NEVER about solutions to DEFINED problems? At this pace, it will be "stay the course" simply because NO-ONE has described a NEW course. How about some old fashioned problem solving?

Well it does explain the summer quietness
