Bliar and Brown gained power under false pretences and failed to deliver what they promised in what way am I to blame for that?

Not you personally, since I don't know you personally. I am talking about the general public. The view that often gets assigned to the public by the media and judging by a lot of this forum is a good indication of that public.
I already mentioned the reasons why I think the public is not blameless in the way the country is (Although I think it's still pretty good). It's because everyone seems to think the goverment is the answer to everything, we demand to much which means politicans promise too much, we never look at the success of the governments and focus on the negative. It's all unhealthy way to do politics.
