Society .vs. State

Well, if you spray acid everywhere:

Public faith in Britain’s political system is being eroded by alarmingly low levels of trust in Tony Blair’s Government, the standards watchdog said yesterday.

A detailed survey of public opinion carried out by the committee on standards in public life has exposed deep mistrust of politicians, with fewer than one in four people saying they thought ministers tell the truth…

The survey exposed corrosive levels of mistrust in the political system.

“This suggests a widespread disillusionment in the way the business of government and politics is conducted – people just do not believe they are being dealt with in a straightforward, honest and open manner” …

Of course, our political masters will conclude from this that the solution lies in compulsory voting.
