People who vote for more government are people who rarely deal with government.

And I guess people who vote for less government are people who never have dealt with good and efficient government, only government destoyed by people who don't want it to work or lobbying companies.

Where I live e-government is super smooth, like having your taxes filed for you - all you have to do is to sign it with your e-id. E-id is, as I see it, actually saftey for me as a citizen, with delegated security so that the SP only get verification and the info actually needed from the IDP.

Although requiring it for porn is just sick.

  • The government is famously dysfunctional in the UK. It is unlikely to get any better. So most of us would rather they do nothing than make the situation worse.

    I've lived in other countries in Europe and their government isn't that smooth either. In fact the UK was much better than Spain when I lived there, though things may have changed now.

  • Sorry people are downvoting you, I guess some folks think the downvote is for people they disagree with. But this is my experience too: government that works and is smooth and efficient can turn one into a fan.
