I'm sure they will go wherever they can ensure the media can get the best angle on them suffering unprovoked state sponsored brutality.
Listened to (a very small segment of) one of their tracks and I felt similarly motivated.
I think you are great Pieter good to read your bloggs and everybody elses too. Good thread.
For the record I never like Benn. Thought he was a bag of wind. Talked well but was more of a smart alek than anyone useful imo. He also pretty much messed up the Labour party. I see Kinnock as bringing Labour back from the precipice of total oblivion. Sadly, instead of him or John Smith we were left to the likes of TBliar who also got carried away with his self importance. Labour kept that other 'T'-wit in power by being in dissarray and behind on global developments.
What ever one has to say about democracy we need balance. Super-powers need balance too. Thus, I think several parties are essential as are several super-powers. When views/parties become so polarised then extremes follow as we saw in Thatcher and Foot/Ben & Co., resulting in a lot of pooh being dished about.
If we had to look to see if we are better off or not, I wouldn't just look at GDP but many more indicators on health, weight, happiness, education, number of children, pets to age distribution and how many individuals in any household. Crime, people in prisons, people on holiday and most importantly distribution of wealth etc., to have a view if we are better off or not and which parties have contributed to the greater national good.
We need some objective PKI's which are agreed by many professionals and experts not just politicians.
