The Establishment has only one task – to defend the realm and as the system is designed for two party operation, a swift 12 or 18 months National Government might well be the answer in this troubled economic world, but it will also send a message that voting for smaller parties next time round is futile. <br />Spirit of BMEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-28291553468873482502015-01-08T11:59:23.713+00:002015-01-08T11:59:23.713+00:00John
