hmmm somehow a change in governance as far as the monetary is concerned would be nice.... to finish off corporate britain that would be good also.... would i trust the er first past the post and therefore undemocratically mandated gov to do the bizz? need i bother to answer?

So, I assume you won't be trusting any Labour Government to deal with the issue, either, ecu?  ;-0

It wouldn't only finish off corporate Britain; it would finish off corporate 'world' as well, as it would need more than the UK to do this to fully work.

what she pointed to in the german systems were the high pensions (well no doubt that would be affected somewhere at least potentially) and also the high union participation ... that the unions and the roles of the unions in germany took on a whole different complexion they were valued politically as well as within managemetn structures of industry workers themselves sat on the boards ... here she implied we saw unions as nuisance factors and something to be despised... like as we are hearing in current debates from various tories there is a desire to rescue corporate britain and small busainess britain by squeezing the poor ....  coprorate britain favours the rich and foreign investors and financial services small business britain will affect or impact loads of people of all sorts

  Interesting that high pensions seems to be the business in Germany, since it is the very same issue that is causing such a problem throughout Europe, and Greece, Portugal and Ireland especially.

I'd also disagree with your interpretation of the value given to the unions here.  Some are absolutely brilliant, whilst others seem determined to undermine the Government (of whichever colour that Government might be).

so where really are the seat of the problems?  are we content to create a virtual slave econonomy  where people are forced into labour without being able to afford food lecky bills transport and accomodation?

even the Vineyard owner made sure that his helpers were paid the right amount to live tomorrow

GOD BLESS!
