It is nothing to do with "right wing" .It is a sad phenomenon that governments are so inept at running anything that they have to let public services be run by private enterprise. The disaster is brought about by the absence of competition.

One only has to look at the incompetence of the left wing's grip on public services to realise that private sector is the lesser of the two evils.

Not really, once upon a time governments were run by people who had worked in the communities that then elected them, therefore they knew what that community required. Modern governments are now run by people who have gone into politics without actually having enjoyed the role of being a 'real life' working person and so therefore have no knowledge of what is needed. Sadly governments are now run by middle class liberals, regardless of left or right wing governments, who have no understanding of what is required of them.

All the government is needed for is justice and defense.

The rest can be privatised more or less.

Even I am not that right wing!

[Robinho]

It's not right wing. It's centrist. Right wing would be things like slavery, feudalism or the caste system.

That's the way i see it anyway.

I've been theorising with this idea of a School token system, where all Schools are private and each kid gets a grant of the same value to go to a private school.

Oi Dodgy, leave him alone. I'm using him as an example for why I want to have my son privately educated.

Where have you put him down for? No doubt he will be scholarship material.

It worked out okay for George Osborne.
