It's the facts that bother me. Long term unemployment being at almost a 20 year high, violent crime rates are the worst in Europe are two of the primary issues that indicate failure in my opinion. I'm very much an apathetic observ

Out of curiosity, (I'm genuinely not attempting to incite a political debate) what would you consider a more effective alternative to the current structure? I don't have any solid opinion one way or the other apart from knowing th
