Mr Soft Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Absolutely amazing ! Why not write a book on that. It could end up being a literaray classic alongside Dickens "Great Expectations" I liked it very much too really, but didn't like admitting it as you taught me bigotry.

Mr Soft Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 There is no possible, legal way of getting rid of a government in office, you cant withdraw your vote, you can complain to your MP and they can ignore you, you can go stand outside parliament in silent protest and the police will arrest you for an illegal assembly. And if you attempt any illegal ways then I guess the building industry will receive a massive boost as they'll need a few more prisons to hold all the arrested people. Once in office they are in charge and there is nothing the people can do to change that until the next election when they can elect another bunch of grasping self centred megalomaniacs to tell them what to for four or five years. People power removed the Heath government. People power can also remove this unelected government. This unelected government could very easily be removed by people power.

Mr Soft Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think its time for a modern day Guy Fawkes. Times have changed. We celebrate Guy Fawkes night because the powers that be caught him before he blew up the houses of parliament with all the people in it. Now they would celebrate his success if he managed to do it.

Exactly, funny isn't it? We need a modern day Guy Fawkes who can do it without getting caught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomdido Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think its time for a modern day Guy Fawkes. We need someone or something to change the way we elect our representatives. I would not vote for any of the main parties because they are too busy trying to ensure they will be re-elected next time. Greed has taken over. There are some decent politicians but they hardly stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esme Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Absolutely amazing ! Why not write a book on that. It could end up being a literaray classic alongside Dickens "Great Expectations"I didn't say it was easy, I didn't say it was perfect and I didn't say it would work, it could fall flat on it's face. Simplifying a lot, every constituency forms it's own party and chooses a head of the party to vote for come election time, that person represents the local electorate in their constituency, they agree beforehand to put the constituency first, legally binding contracts are put in place so that they can be removed from office if they don't perform as the constituency wishes. Hopefully we end up with a parliament populated by representatives of each constituency and everyone has a voice in parliament rather than being told what to do by whichever colour rosette won. It's risky and requires work but it could be done and it could break party politics. No one wants that though, they want more of the same just with themselves in charge.

andyofborg Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'd get rid of the monarchy and the House of Lords while I was at it. i'd get rid of neither, for the last 30 years the house of lords has been pretty much the only opposition to all the governments we've had.
