It's so reminiscent of the Republicans over here and Obamacare!!  For 7 years they have said they will immediately repeal it and replace it with something better, yet as soon as they get that opportunity they are all over the place and cannot pass anything that is acceptable to even their own party!!!  Seriously, what is gong on with politics these days??

A few years ago, well before all this shit arose, I regularly commented and debated with various friends/family members that there are no 'heavyweight politicians' any more and I was particularly referring to the state of UK politics. I suppose it's a similar political situation in the USA although I did have a lotta time for Barack Obama TBH but still unsure where he'd rank amongst the real political 'greats' from the past. I believe the black events that eventually unfolded on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are partly linked to this 'political vacuum' where we can observe all these lesser political individuals with no real substance attached to them - it's the same of the same personas with slightly different political ideologies/allegiances. In Scotland IMO it's one of the reasons why Nicola Sturgeon's standing as one of the devolved leaders in the UK is very highly regarded not just within these shores. She presents her convictions and authority very well compared with other very lightweight political individuals who have tried to challenge her position down the years but failed miserably because they were not good enough and were classed as politically 'frail'!
