I was annoyed I heard zero arguments from the right about it
nothing said from sargon, nothing from anyone else.
makes me think it might have had a point
first past the post system removes most of the risk, storin
I agree that needs to go
And the house of the lords while we are it
agreed
the moment they stopped being heridatory peers, their usefulness evaporated
though they would't be useful in a global age anyway
The problem is most people who become lords generally speaking own businesses or other forms of wealth, they are only ever going to vote in favour of themselves, and as far as i'm aware we don't elect them either- so they are incumbent till whenever the PM or Queen wants to change them
lords are just political appointees at this point, they're just an entrenchment of the establishment
Exactly the problem
Getting rid of first past the post and the HoL would be a start, then like I said hold the politicians in the HoC legally accountable for what they promise
If they fail to deliver public tribunal to see why- if its fair ok walk along, if it was them just using it for points fine/prison
when there's choice at elections, that'll happen naturally
doesnt' need trials and prison
People with power often get into power.... kinda the way it works....
The referendum was on the ballot since Blair
Imagine voting
What a cuck
The bottom line is all BRexit has shown is how contemptable they view the British people- both the UK parliament and the EU
You cant run a country where the elected hate the electors nd try to usurp them 🤷
Indeed it they continue to pursue this path then I say the public has all rights to go after them
Both civil and non civil
Słoma in z butów wystaje, a oni by chcieli głosować!
Ye
Which naturally is coming from the weighted element that is the question being asked and was already answered
Rights lol
The pleb has right to remain silent and work
Dude my biggest question is why terrorists always attack the common man, dark waters I know but look at 9/11, did anyone in those towers really have a say in the foreign policy of America? Nope, the people who did were in the senate and the white house- should of gone for them instead of the common man just trying to get his way through life, but that is my 2 cents
People would argue the domestic populace represent the governmental will. Which is not true universally but has merit to it.
Terrorism is about creating political change via violence, or the fear of it
Of course they target the common man
The attack was very effective
I would argue the other way, that we live in a democratic oligarchy, where the few elite rule over the serfs and the class system is still very much what divides everybody 🤔
And we get just enough bread crumbs to keep playing the game
Because if we stopped- well, Hello French and Russian revolutions where people were executed...
I mean perhaps in the UK but in the US there is reason we keep our guns to our chests
Daily reminder that, strictly speaking, republics claim that it is their voting population that is sovereign. Thus terrorism makes perfect sense as an act of war proper. The US bombs the ME, Middle Easterners retaliate against the US sovereign. 🙂
There is an obviously balance of power in terms of checks and balance within the system. Should it fail to uphold the balance then the populace are the ones who are levied to correct said imbalance
