Easy.  This government cant get any less popular and the opposition are just as authoritarian.  If the PM went on live TV tomorrow and decapitated a kitten with his teeth, it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to the polls.  And then the Shadow Cabinet would criticize him for not decapitating ten, because he is soft on crime and the causes of crime.

Yeah, but why the fuck aren't the streets swarming with protesters? Isn't that what people do when the government doesn't give them any acceptable options?
Why aren't you protesting?

I live all the way over in Canada. Canada's government is much more reasonable about this sort of thing for now.
I'm certain that if you did some digging you would find stuff to get really angry aboot.

Well look at me being a hypocrite.
I'll just wallow in selfloathing now.

We tried that with Iraq.  1.5 million marching against it.  Didn't work out too well.  Since then, it hasn't really seemed worth the effort.

Unfortunately it seems 1.5mil is no longer a significant number.

No.  They watch TV.

Fuck this monkey-infested earth. I think I'm beginning to understand this "rage" concept a little bit.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.
