Brown gave control of interest rates to the bank of england, so its now administered by a professional with a vested interest in long term economic stability rather than an amateur who just wants things to be going well in 4 year's time. (I think) Inflation just happens; it is influenced to an extent by interest rates .

Your correction to first axiom is irrelevant; it just means that none of the others get voted for either.
I'm still not convinced that the government can still have a measurable and predictable effect on a counteries economy, but I guess it might be possible. It used to be the case.
I'm less convinced that it is this argument that causes people to vote in favor of pro-business anti personal rights-in-the-face-of-bussiness policies.

As far as I could tell everyone was going to spend their money on more police in cleaner hospitals. whilst thinking that 'forward not back' was the real alternative.
