[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7795012, member: 2119"] I did try to get elected once upon a time. My manifesto was essentially to do nothing as at that time everything was more or less alright as it was. That doesn’t win votes though. You have to promise expensive schemes and run up debt to get elected. Frankly it’s a hell of a mess now yet the government seems to be trying to dig an even deeper hole. So we have shortages of all sorts of things including wheat which we are importing. And we are concentrating resources on making more nature reserves thereby reducing food production. It’s about as mad as you can get really. What about building reservoirs to mitigate future water supply fluctuations? It’s another supply crisis that’s slowly creeping up and will be almost impossible to solve quickly enough if we leave it too late like the power generation shortfall. Before we get too enthusiastic about nature reserves we really ought to be ensuring that the country has sufficient infrastructure and industry to keep the lights on and to keep people fed affordably and safely. They are fiddling while Rome burns IMO. [/QUOTE]
