They are easy to defend from an "opposition" standpoint because the party out of power doesn't have to provide detailed insight into how things should be done -- they simply have to point out that what is being done doesn't work (which is usually the case these days). Once you are no longer an opposition party and instead become a governing party, you have to face the realities of governing in a democratic system where rational, logical thought rarely plays a role in government policy.

Interesting description of the opposition.... One little thing left out is that the opposition has been the major reason why "what is being done doesn't work".
