Sometimes I wonder if anyone is "at the wheel".
Members of Parliament are often amiable, myopic midwits running on a treadmill of media announcements and socialising. Hard to tell who's a cynical hypocrite serving vested interests, and who's just a fool captured by "the system" and unable to see outside it.
Neither kind serve any greater purpose, its true.
We need to replace quite a few institutions with protocols after the guillotines, to prevent them recurring.
