Within a couple of years of the last election many people had conveniently forgotten the mess this country had been left in so expecting governments to plan and act in the long term when that's going to involve pain for the electorate in the form of more tax, austerity or whatever is asking a great deal IMHO. The truth is that far too many people expect far too much far too quickly these days and the politicians who get elected are increasingly those who simply tell people what they want to hear regardless of reality.
