Remember, even if you are currently popping the champagne, that the new government will disappoint you. No government ever does all the things one person wants.
In the eponymous film Bruce Almighty, Bruce, standing in for God, was so bothered by all the prayers he had to deal with that he had them converted to emails and answered ‘Yes to all’. Consequently the following week’s lottery first prize was shared between thousands of people who all won a few cents.
A good government does the utilitarian thing of the greatest good for the greatest number of people. This means that some will be disappointed. And the mugging victims won’t believe it if the crime figures are down.
If, as seems likely, we have a Labour Government tomorrow, we need to give them a moment or two before being disappointed.
