Will we ever have a Democracy in the UK?
I'm sick of this country's government. For decades, the people seem to be ignored. In the face of public outcry, such as the recent road tax objections, the government state that depite the overwhelming objections against supporters, that getting opinion "online" is not sufficiently reliable. People prost outside parliament, so the government move them. People vote in prime ministers based on their promises. Promises that are broken again and again. It seems these days we have no democracy, just a poorly disguised dictatorship - choose your dictator (assuming the voting system actually works and we are infact choosing our dictator).
If the government can afford to stick an ID card system together that identifies every person in this country, here's what I'd like to see:
A voting system off the back of that, that allows every person in the country the chance to VOTE on new proposals and policies. Don't tell me it'd be too slow. Have you seen how long it takes those guys to actually pass a law? A nice fast online system that allows people to see what's being proposed each week and cast their vots / opinions would be good. To me that's a democracy, so no doubt a system the megalomaniacs in government would not be fond of.
