Have We Got A Dysfunctional Government?

[Gromit]

- Today the Government postponed a debate on Brexit until November for fear of losing the vote.
- Also today, the Government enmasse abstained in a vote on Universal Credit for fear of an embarrasing defeat by its own MPs.
- The Government are heading for a 'No Deal' on its negotiation on leaving the EU.
- The Governing Party are deeply divided, with Ministers publicly fighting with colleagues on a daily basis.
- The Prime Minister seemingly has no authority, regulatly being undermined by her own Foreign Secretary.

How have we got into such a mess to have this useless bunch of failures governing us ?

// a good Government is made by a strong and acceptable opposition as well as a reasonable majority. //
The two recent examples of good Governments, Thatcher and Blair, also coincided with hopeless oppositions.
Thatcher had Foot and Kinnock who were pretty terrible. Blair had Hague, Howerd and IDS who were highly ineffective.
Corbyn, now his party is finally letting him lead, seems to be doing more than OK. May is like Major and Brown - very mediocre. In theory May (or whoever) have five years to turn things around, but those five years will be painful to watch, and damaging to the country.
