Well I am off on hols to Prague for a few days so will be back posting mid next week! An interesting point to consider, the Czech Republic had elections earlier in the year and since then have not really had a government due to the main alliances getting virtually exactly 50% of the vote. However where as you expect this to cause serious problems, according to the media the Czech economy has continued growing and the people have carried on with no disruptions to anything, to the unsuspecting eye you would say its a country with a popular government with a strong majority. It is an interesting twist on the regular touted idea that without central government things begin to fall apart, it does all make you wonder !
And remember, turn all your lights and everything off to save power, and then rather than sitting in the dark why not go to London and see your environment friendly energy saving used up lighting Bucks Palace (be careful when looking though, dont want to get hit by a Chelsea Tractor)!

Perhaps it proves economic libertarians right - limited government is good government.
