So there’s this thing that happens with conservative governments that don’t get the boot early on: their policies don’t work out so well, so they end up quietly drawing funds from elsewhere to support infrastructure and programs, all the while slashing budgets and turning the ill out onto the streets.
Now, in the UK we’re seeing the advanced form of this: there’s almost no more money to be siphoned from the citizenry, and thus the conservative government there is making its first forays into cannibalizing it’s own political base.
