Well, I'm pretty skeptical of the welfare state myself, largely because it's badly managed in almost all instances. I think there's ways to manage these things better, but as it stands a lot of the systems are disfunctional and prone to abuse.
We have the NDP in Canada, too, but one reason I've been somewhat wary of them is that they seem more keen on extending than actually reforming the welfare state. :hmm:
