UK General Election 2017

[Furunculus]

Why isn't it? Does a policy have no other motivation behind it than to meet the standards of a particular group of critics? Criticism is no excuse for self-indulgent ambivalence. Do you cut all funding for the NHS because administering it is difficult? Do you drop the nuclear deterrent because its expensive and some people don't like it?

A good point worth making:
66% of people recently said that british FP is in some part responsible for terrorist atrocities such as manchester.
but, about the same proportion tell chatham house each year that they support britain as a great power.

How do we marry these two apparent contradictions?

Easy, their may well be a link between our FP and terrorism, but it is a price worth paying for the role people wish their country to play.
