What's gone wrong? PDF Print E-mail

"What’s Gone Wrong" (WGW) has always been the most asked question in politics. We won a good election victory less than a year ago. Yet our WGW is that we look like a government at the end of its term facing an election we’re unlikely to win.

Takes leadership to do that.

Sorry Tony, I can’t hear you. You’re speaking the same stuff, better said but less listened to and no longer believed. I just wish I knew what you’re doing. Or understand why.

Schools: What you say and what Ruth’s having to do just don’t fit.

ID Cards: Let’s say £20 billion. To what purpose?

Terrorism: Wouldn’t it be better to use the powers you have before taking more?

Reform of everything: Why suddenly turn everything upside down? It’s only when things are going badly you do that.

The Party: Our only instrument. Why fuck it up?

So what are you about? Let us know. A note via Tommy McAvoy will do.
