Governments quite like crises, their rating tends to go up - Thatcher and the falklands, Bush and 9/11 etc etc...I don't think any other Government would do any better given the world financial crisis.
Seriously, whilst its a great headline, making WAR ON GOVERNMENT isnt really that smart. As we live in a democracy, we would be making war on ourselves. Anyone want to volunteer to be the first to bash themselves over the head with a baseball bat? (Not not you George, sorry, I meant a sensible person!)
It seems to me we get to choose them every four years, and as far as most people are concerned, thats quite enough - let them get on with it and then if they screw up, chuck 'em out next time around. Or you can always stand for election yourself!
