Today, it is perfectly possible for a government to get into power - and to stay there indefinitely - simply through winning the votes of people who make no contribution to society.
So many millions of people now receive state benefits, and are wholly dependent upon the government for their income, that a political party which is prepared to pander to them, in order to win their votes, while at the same time ignoring the needs and rights of those who work and pay tax, could stay in power for years.
I believe that Blair and his government are so discredited that it is impossible to believe that anyone dcould have voted for them for any other reason.
Do you agree with this? Do you really think that New Labour has deliberately expanded the dependency culture for electoral reasons?
