That is a very good question. No Government prior to this have specialised in setting targets and failing to meet them, and in painting a picture of a society joined together in social justice, harmony, happiness and enterprise. Enterprise used to be allowed, in the early days at least. No Government have ever painted a picture so compelling, and yet so signally failed to deliver, despite the vast spending of resources in pursuit of that nirvana. Sadly, it looks increasingly as though that was money that the country could not afford.
