They are an environmental group really, they can't organise a pissup in a brewery.
brighton is ranked almost last for its recycling record in the country, if they can't even get that right then I really don't know how they'll do running government.

also a non-means tested benefit for everyone of £71 a week sounds great. but giving all that money to people who don't need it seems stupid
that's a lot of money that could probably be put to much better use

But you're getting it back from the people who don't need it in tax anyway.
and it stops them whining about scroungers if everybody gets it.

The trouble seems to be separating macro issues from the day-to-day business of actually keeping the country running.
Big ideas are great, but they take so long to implement that the general public would lose patience and start moaning about all them politicians being the same.

And the other blokes have done such a great job?
