It is now ruled by various vested interests and pressure groups who maintain the facade of democracy only to keep up appearances.<br /><br />How democratic is it for a football club owner who is a Vegan to ban his players from eating red meat and then to ban it from sale in the stadium? How 'democratic' is the Wiltshire Council who, after spending thousands investigating a ridiculous claim of "racism" against the Chairman of a Patients Support group, bans the group from all council property and withdraws their financial grant - no doubt increasing the amount already given to the anti-racism campaigner who seems to spend all her time going to meetings to look for 'Racial Slurs' and 'racism?' How 'racist' is the expression "Jungle Drums" in the context of rumour and gossip? Yet that is what has sparked the latest Politically Correct banning. <br /><br />Frankly, if you want to reclaim 'democracy' start out by hanging every 'special interest' campaigner and pressure group, then tackle the Civil Service.

In fact many hate all of the main parties, thus many votes are not really for anyone, simply against the ruling one. Voting for a smaller party, like UKIP, is seen as a wasted vote, might as well stay at home, and increasingly they do!<br />Polls that ask, who will you vote for do not necessarily show support, simply intent.<br />Whether this attitude can be changed and a peaceful democratic solution found is debatable.<br />As regards the prisoner vote, it's obvious where it's going - Dave will wriggle through the gaps, 'take note' of the vote, but follow the EU rules by granting it to some less extreme prisoners.Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-401200220351171092011-02-11T01:02:50.235-08:002011-02-11T01:02:50.235-08:00You really sould get over it or you will burst a b...You really sould get over it or you will burst a blood vessel.<br /><br />The Germans and French now call the shots and we will do as we are told, or else.<br /><br />Our own Prime Minister, of whatever party he may be is there to do the bidding of the Germans and French and he will disregard what parliament might want and ensure the people of this country are never given the chance of changing the status quo.<br /><br />Get comfortable with it, start eating frogs legs and saurkraut, hang a photo of Merkle on the wall at home and pay homage every morning and instill a discipline in your house that all members do the same.<br /><br />There are some big advantages: you will never need to vote again, for example and German beer is quite nice, and you won't burst a blood vesselAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-72688670434774095502011-02-10T16:21:42.087-08:002011-02-10T16:21:42.087-08:00Have a look at the Daily Mail comments page. Accor...Have a look at the Daily Mail comments page. According to lots of contributors there, Cameron has struck a blow for our liberty. They follow the lead of the headline "Day we stood up to Europe" (whatever it was). Totally disengenous. And the poor Conservatroids are so desperate to have their faith in the Tory criminal set repaid that they just lap it all up. THIS day is like that one prior to WW2 when that t*t rolled up at the airport waving a piece of paper. <br /><br />Re the debate itself. MPs cannot be as stupid as all that.
