This Is Unbelievable! This Politician Actually Believes That People's Happiness And Wellbeing Are More Important Than A Country's Economy...

My God I hear you exclaim.
It's not possible. Is it?
Obviously a political figure bent on self destruction the medical experts proclaim.
Quick, get him out of the public eye. Get him therapy. Just don't let the media know about his outrageous, radical and dangerous thinking.
This is not though the raving of a demented member of parliament attempting political suicide. No, this is the considered opinion of Lord Gus O'Donnell, onetime head of the civil service, current UK member of the IMF and Secretary to the Treasury.
He believes people's happiness and well being, Gross National Happiness, GNH, are more important that a country's GDP.
You can, after you get over the shock and sat down with a cup of tea, read more about it here.
Lord Gus I don't know what this outlandish idea is going to do for your career prospects but
I'd seriously consider moving to the UK
just so I could vote for you...
