I think most of Britain are......you never know, one day they might get it right, but then again, think i just saw a pig fly past! Donna x

Have been for years.......... under different Governments The trouble is we just aren't a revolutionary country........ never have been....... It's just not British to make a fuss! LOL Mandy

i was so angry when labour got in again,they just mess up the country.also tony blair spends too much time sucking up to george bush

The trouble is I don't think that this new Labour government is truly Labour............ There is so little difference between the parties now that it doesn't matter which one we choose, they all have similar ideals and agendas. The only ones that can risk having radical policies are the smaller parties.......... the major ones have to go with the flow to win the majority of votes and not risk alienating people. But the trend seems to be to create the 'melting pot' where we are all set in the same bland mould and fear anyone who is 'different'. :-) Mandy

it just annoys me,i work all the hours that i can,they take loads of tax off me and then wont give a lot of help with council tax etc. But if i had left school at 16 and gone straight on the dole i'd be better off!

YES YES YES YES YES I think you get the idea!

so your'e fed up with britian ? So was I 35 yrs ago,and guess what ? it's not changed in that time, i've been back several times ,we also have similiar complaints about oz , unfortunately it's the way of the world these days no matter where your'e living all you can do is let your'e frustration be known at the next election,support the party thats going to do a better job in your view, and remind them if they dont stick to their promises. I reckon the mafia would get better results and it wouldn't cost as much to run the country.

Yes, thats why we sold up and now live over here.My parents also left and now live in the Isle of Man. We meet a lot of people all looking to buy property and live here. Jill xxx:)

If they brought back the £10 again to emigrate to Oz, image what the queue would be like to get out of Britain! The whole of England would be queing up to get out. Yvonne

we are of to France this year had enough of all the petty rules and regulations

Yes, but the people who would make a better job of it are all out in the real World, running businesses, and wouldn't touch the job of an MP with a barge pole! So we're stuck with power mad men/women with huge egos, ambitions, who think they have a right to tell us what to do, and how to do it. And they are ALL motivated by self interest. Lily (off her soapbox now!)

Yes, but then my b-i-l who lives in Germany is not happy with the way theirs is run. And guess what? we have visited New Zealand, Australia and Malta this year all of these are complaining about their governments too. Also it's no surprise that South Africans are not happy with theirs either!! So where in the World has a really GOOD government? Val

Not just the way it is run but the country itself the biggest mistake we made was 30 years ago when my wife had second thoughts about imigrating she now says she would love to get out but both being in our 60's we cant afford to John

I am, and with all the 'Thou Shalt nots'unless we say so/or you pay us so you can do it,this Country of 'Ours' dare I say it,is becoming more of a 'Communist Enclave' than the Communist Countries ever were,Curtesy of T.B-liar and his cronies. Hal (Completely Peed off with all the petty regulations and crap put out by this so called Government )

our local council is about to reduce the number of parking spaces in town and has at the same time announced a new team of 28 self financing traffic wardens, the same councillors keep complaining about people going to neighbouring towns shopping

Lots of people here (Canada) are fed up with the way the country is run, same with our neighbours next door in the U.S. But some people were fed up before the present leaders of both countries were voted in and some people will no doubt be fed up, when the next round of new leaders come along.

I live in the best country in the world love it warts and all. wouldn't want to live any where else, and very proud to be british except when football surporters travel abroad. Gill

Depends which country you're talking about. In the recent election, I understand England didn't vote Labour in again, but Wales and Scotland did. To me, it seems a very stupid system in a 'democracy' that lets the minority of the the UK population dictate how the majority are governed, especially when they have their own regional assmblies. Still, we're stuck with them now, aren't we - and paying through the nose for it! CB >|<

I dont agree with CB on proportional representation, I understand where she is coming from but if my area vote labour in that is what they should get, and if another area votes conservative or liberal in that is also what they should get, I think it unfair that all the votes of the country be counted up and then the seats dished out according to the amount of votes cast overall, It is not a fair way of issuing the seats because then we dont get the MP that we voted for. The boundarys have already been changed a few times. I think if proportional representation was brought in the liberals would probaly end up with more seats than most.But once again I have to respect CB for the intelligent lady that she undoubtly is.
