It has a sort of twisted logic.<br /> Does it mean weak in authority or just weak as in rubbish? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4277#post-12024 Tue, 11 May 2010 16:45:22 +0000 MrChigleysAunt 12024@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yup, strong government is massively overrated. A weaker government would never have got away with the Iraq War, for one thing. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4277#post-11995 Tue, 11 May 2010 13:56:27 +0000 Scroat 11995@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Just read this somewhere about the possible next Government</p> <p>"The safest government is a weak government. That way they have to take other views into account, pass less legislation in a country overflowing with laws and regulations, and can't just hector the country and do as they wish, because they know best. In other words it lessens the chance of arrogance setting in as with Blair and Brown [and Thatcher, let's not forget her just yet]. I for one am sick of being lectured by a succession of half witted posturers who can't think their way out of a paper bag."</p> <p>A good point this, I think. Don't let Dave see it though - he'll want to go it alone. </p>
