I can understand why, if they see that all other countries are starting to all have austerity measures then they will see that it is not just their administrations 'whim' to do that.......(I would have a grievance cos i dont think they are doing it right.....but im not stupid enough to think that if i went on strike it would make anything better)

Anyone have any answers as to why people think that this is appropriate action? or why they think it will solve anything?
