The government (and especially David -heir to Blair- Cameron) are fiddle-farting around with minor problems (Lord's Reform and Anthems) that are way down the list of concerns for the British people, because they haven't a damned clue what to do about the major ones! Their one and only interest is to cling on to power and to hell with everything else!
There's a strategy emerging here. The Useless Tories and the Lib-Dumbs have kissed and made up over their spat about the House of Lords because it's too far away from the next election to split apart and form battle-lines for the contest. Both parties know full well that as a Coalition they stand less than a dog's chance of being re-elected, so they're going to wait for the right time (pre-agreed of course) before having the final 'divorce argument' and going their own seperate ways. My God, we seem to fall for it every time!
Stick your damned anthem where Beethoven stuffed his bath sponge and get on with sorting out the economy, the NHS, the treatment of the elderly, unemployment, crime, immigration etc etc. because that's the job you were elected to do and leave musical problems to the likes of Elton John and Andrew Lloyd-Webber!
