I said it was the fact they had to go to the Queen that I found cool Not that I agree with the term Parasite anyway, I am kind of hopeful that Brown will do something. He needs to win a election soon and even if he does he will likely lose the next one so he is bound to want to make some progress fast. Not to mention he wont have the problem with getting funds that Blair did.

I like elections more though, All day people vote and then overnight the political landscape changes as more and more results come in, So the next morning people wake to a slightly different country Something cool about the process and the fact it concludes while people are sleeping.

As for the NHS is should be one of the best funded Health Services in the World, We all need to use it as some point and when your ill you want the best, fastest service you can get. Every government should have Health and Education at the top of their agenda, I agree that it needs to be managed better and I like the Torys idea of a board in charge of it (i also think the same should happen in Education) but its got better and its failures are not all down to waste. It still needs more funding. This is a health system for the entire country that is free, it should be expensive.
