I'm getting real sick of constant can kicking.
Just...fucking so something!
We suck at long term thinking in this country. I guess three year election cycles don't help.
I used to think the same, but then I realized the UK government is just as shit with a 5 year term. I don't think the issue is 3 years, I think it's the lack of political impetus to make meaningful change.
