 Dear Britain: This, right here, is your problem...

From Nick Robinson's blog: tonight's story may be being over-shadowed by the extraordinary revelation that Britain cannot competently run the most basic part of the democratic process.
You know, in other countries, the reaction to something like this would be: "Someone screwed up. This needs to be fixed, as soon as possible." For some reason, the English - and I think it's an English thing, as I didn't make it to Wales but certainly attitudes in Scotland were very different - take an incredibly dismal attitude to failures. "See? Britain fails at this."
Where's the "What? Britain is better than this, dammit!"? Why the complacency with inadequacy, across the spectrum from train schedules to national elections?
