[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 8839632, member: 818"] Because the electorate are human beings who want to have their cake and eat it. They want to vote for politicians who promise to look after the birds and the bees and the fluffy bunnies, and save the planet, but they also want to fill their shopping trollies with cheap food each week, so they can afford the high consumption lifestyle they think they are entitled to. They are in effect utter hypocrites. But then farmers are exactly the same - they demand the consumers buy British food because its 'better', yet drive Fendts, Lexions, and Hiluxes. Precisely because they are human beings too. Wanting to have your cake and eat it is a fairly universal human trait. Very few people are prepared to force themselves to live within their own stated ethical boundaries voluntarily. [/QUOTE]
