Conrod Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Should class even exist in a democratic society?We can put labels on people and describe them of one class or another, but 'class' is just a form of natural selection on a social scale. Some poeple are more successful than others, that's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickiethecat Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Far from boasting, Cameron does his best to cover up the fact that he is an Eton educated millionaire from a family of millionaires and married to an Earls daughter. Along with most of his colleagues and friends and associates. Which is a good thing. The ideal Prime Minister should be one who has received the best education possible and has connections with big businesses so he can have some influence on how they affect the economy. You wouldn't employ an uneducated, unqualified candidate in any other area of life, so why would we want a thick working class chav as prime minister instead?

Magilla Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Cameron would never have been PM if it was not for his family and connections. You still didn't tell us who you would prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a possibility of moving up into middle class but nobody ever breaks through into ruling class circles. One cannot achieve landed gentry status by effort and hard work it is where you are born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we'd had a parliament ruling in the UK fdor, what, say a few hundred years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepman Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 You still didn't tell us who you would prefer? The big problem here is that there is nobody worth voting for. We need new blood to upset the cosy apple cart. We should not have a government that was not voted in governing us though. It is NOT democratic to be ruled by people were contrived and not voted for.

Prefect Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 The bankers rule this government. How is this government different from any other and also can you tell us the last, no sorry, ANY prime minister that was elected from a council estate whilst also ruling the country And being "in touch" with Joe Public?
