Sadly ving, I think you're on the money - and it's hard to blame them in some ways because a government tends to get hammered when they're not producing the best short term outcomes. If we as a voting public rewarded long term thinking, more of it would happen - but unfortunately we don't.
Similar goes for our purchasing choices too I guess - we want companies to be socially & environmentally responsible - but at the end of day, we will tend to choose the cheapest product.
