      This and your username simply reads as short-sighted, uneducated and immature. Not all change is good, and by definition, some things being conserved is good. However, the balance must be struck, and in the UK we have a long and reasonable history of it ocillating between polarities every few years.

      However, 23 years of Conservative rule is not anything close to balance. Austerity and all. Change is sorely needed. The profiteering and upward soak of money must tilt in the other direction for a while, for the sake of people like in the original post.

        Some things being conserved is absolutely good. However, the “Conservative” government isn’t really all that conservative, is it? Unless you refer to conserving their own self interests, I’ll grant you they’re really good at that…

        Oh and I am 40 years old and educated to masters level, not that that really should matter in the slightest. I do admit that I am pretty short sighted though, damn eyes just ain’t what they used to be. Thankfully I can fix that with glasses through our wonderful national health service… at least for now until the “conservatives” get rid of that too…
