Are this lot even less competent (is that really possible) than the last lot?

While they are making their best efforts to answer Yes and Yes, surely it cannot be so, because their credo is for government to do less, whereas Labour's credo is for government to do more, or even do everything. It must be possible to do Less with fewer fsckups than you get trying to do More?Originally posted by zeitghost View PostI've been asking myself this recently.Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.Comment

I can't tell the difference between this lot, the last lot and the lot before that. Which takes me back to my GCSEs.
Before that it was homework by candlelight in the 3 day week.

I am not disappointed with their performance; they have exceeded my expectations.
However, my expectation was that they would be every bit as bad as the last lot.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
