Well by the summation of the survey in the op, liberal bias has contributed to economic misfortune.

The liberals are supposed to hold the majority sway over education as well so... maby thats why education standards and practices are so fudged up.

Though imho one should avoid a blame it all on any one faction kind of mentality.

I didn't see a jibe in Tantrics post myself, he just pointed out that the sophism used in politics is rampant in both camps is all and that for things to change for the better it would be really benifical for those kinds of tactics to be put aside.
