As you undoubtedly know there has been this continual decrease in expectations that society has had of the individual citizen in the past 50 years.
And as any parent or teacher knows, if you don't expect much from them, that's what you'll get.
So we pretty much have the electorate that have sought to create by our lowered expectations.
