Paper fleets I should imagine.Come on fellas, use your imagination, what should we spend it on?
It's far worse than that of course. With the fall in voter attention spans and the rise of identity politics we are seeing an increasingly splintered polity. Expect more and more independents with utterly diverse agendas and the chance of proper strategic government gets harder and harder. Herding chickens will be seen as simple by comparison.ngatimozart said:
On top of that every three years there is an election where voters have the option of firing the incumbents and starting with another lot of much the same.
Then see if you can get enough votes on the floor to spend extra on defence while satisfying the individual demands of a bevy of politicians elected because "they're ordinary folk, just like us" rather than because of any coherent thought that might have once crossed their collective minds
