I do follow your logic 20pipsaday and agree that you could be right... However, my personal thinking is that politicians like to APPEAR to look after the masses whilst actually favouring the ruling elite.

Why else have the following been allowed to occur in the US, Australia and other countries when all are so clearly against the wishes of most?

Genetic engineering of food, Iraq war, nuclear industry, patients paying for medical treatment with private ownership of hospitals, deregulation of utilities, outsourcing of once secure jobs, "free" trade, allowing private ownership of water resources, tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, growth of "casual" jobs...

All of these things have benefited the elite at the expense of the masses.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not a socialist or anything like that, but the way I see it governments in general do things to benefit those at the top of the chain rather than the bottom. I don't see that changing but I do acknowledge that if it does then that changes EVERYTHING.
