Brown is PM and before him was Bliar. They had the power and resources given by the electorate to do the right thing and cocked it up royally. Why are we to blame for that? Whether or not I hate the next PM will depend entirely on what calibre of person they are - if they're rubbish they'll be in trouble but if they at least do what they promised beforehand and I voted for that then I won't be blaming them for anything. Bliar and Brown gained power under false pretences and failed to deliver what they promised in what way am I to blame for that?
