This is the point that is so often lost in any political discussion, especially in these kind of settings. Rather than admitting that both sides are flawed and have (more or less equally) screwed things up, and do not accept any of the responsibility, all anyone wants to do is point fingers and cast blame at the other side.
People in general, and politicians especially, have a very poor long-term memory, which in this digital age where it seems as if everything is recorded in some form or another can be a very bad thing to forget.
