While the Happiness Index may have been positively received by the public....at the time they were answering the daft questions, did they know how much it was costing them?
And while the politicians may
think they are delivering what they promised...or a proportion of it, it might not be the proportion we, the electorate were hoping for.
I think the main and most relevant thing I can say is, that once elected, most governments cease to listen to the people........don't take the concerns of the electorate seriously(immigration is something that springs to mind,another is the justice system).....and the majority of them talk to the electorate like we are not capable of any kind of intelligent thought.
And I am not just referring to this government..........I feel let down by all the political parties.
They all seem quite keen to hand over more and more power to the faceless un-elected bureaucrats in Brussels.
