| I hope so, but if there was a real democracy there would be the power of recall, and those people could be shifted now.
I'm more worried about my own government. Theres no way I'm voting Labour after they sheepishly fell in line. Yeah some revolted but they have done little more than token jestures, knowing full well that the war would go ahead, meaning their objection could be dismissed. The Conservatives are worse than Labour, and I would vote them whatever their policies, they're right wing, I'm left. The Liberal Democrats, the only others left with a shot at government are political oppurtunists. Sure they're social democrat right now but they'll go whichever way the wind blows. That leaves me with the Socialist Alliance, disorganised and dominated by a Stalinist and bureaucratic SWP, the British National Party, neo-nazi scum, or the Green Party, in favour of reducing Britain to 20 million people. Excuse me, their are already 60 million of us, how are we gonna go to one third of that without sterilisation? Where the hell is my 'abstain' box.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
