> Are you saying that there are literally no policy differences between major political parties in countries like the UK? What about countries that have voting systems that make the legislature more representative of voters' preferences? In the context of my parent's comment: "Government trying to legislate things that they do not understand", no, there is no distinguishable difference between the Tories, Sinn Fein, the DUP, the LibDems, the SNP or Labour. The Raving Loonies at least have the introspection that they consider themselves incompetent, so ... more power to them, I guess?
