With power comes responsubility, which is not always a welcome thing.

The easiest job in the world is to be the person who has no power or responsibility, but takes pot shots at every decision made by the person who has.

With the gorvernment, this happens all the time.  Labour will come out with some new proposal or other and the Conservatives, Lib Dems and all the rest will say the exact opposite - which is fair enough as that’s their job, even though it’s a pretty pointless way to earn a living in my eyes.
