#2 Cameron went to Eaton and hasn't done a proper day's work in his life. I doubt he understands the value of money having been surrounded by enormous wealth for the whole of his life. Thatcher? The economy is sound, yes. Socially we're f*cked.

#3 Have the Tories really thought this one out? Like lowering the per capita GDP of Britons to $800/year, just like the Bhutanese. Not much GNH in that.

#8 "Gross National Happiness?" That doesn't have quite the right ring to it. How about "Community, Identity, Stability," or "A gramme is better than a damn."
