Democracy or Dictatorship?

Why don't you go live in Cuba or North Korea if you think the UK is so terrible?

Britain is sinking and soon it will be gone.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

this goverment have stolen are pensions lost are identesis banned smoking can.t drive witthout breaking some new money making law and just heard there going to take your vital organs when you die thats on top of tax tax tax on everything could go on

Ask the people who have the riches why they keep paying for a government or govenrments which represents bad value for money. Why do people give away millions towards incompetent party funds. Or is it really that they like the incomptenece and are willing to pay for it? Is it because incompetent governments never ever really change the status quo, that after each election the government always wins?

The Government we have in Britain is a mediaeval dictatorship, rule by one man - a monarchy. Do not think that because we have elections this has changed anything. Don't think because we chopped the head of one of our monarchs off that this gave us individual freedom. It did not.

I visited Britain on Holiday last year and was shocked to discover most British people now seem to be either black or Asian! How the hell did that happen? Have your wives been eating too many liquorice allsorts or what?

Perhaps they brought their own dictatorship with them? Then again perhaps not.

I always did find Britain a bit of a drag.Glad I live in Australia and had the sense to leave Britain years and years ago!

Honestly, you'd get more peace and freedom in Zimbabwe!

Most British people are vile little bullies anyway. No wonder they have a dictatorship ruling them.

I have a solution. If you don't like the government: VOTE. Its that simple. If the government is really doing such a terrible job then they won't be around after the next election. For instance take a look at Australia, I see their foolish little man has just been replaced.

Look to yourselves. Do any of you truly respect the rights of others?

We're not a democracy today because it is awkward for business.

In that sense I doubt that Britain is even a country anymore. Now we're just an economy.

Anyone remember how our politicians occasionally put forwards the idea of having another bank holiday in the calendar. Ten years ago the Trafalgar Day idea was floated and last year the Celebrate Britishness day (because our politicians thought Britain was losing its identity) was suggested. But Business (and the Daily Mail) said no, so.....nothing.

We're not a democracy (or even a country anymore) because we're just an economy. Our politicians fail to represent us, (they can't even squeeze another bank holiday into our lives!) So if not representation, then what? You are being MANAGED, not just in work, but outside it too! In effect our politicians have been hijacked by business. Business owners (directors) can "buy" peerages for God's sake. So, it's OK for Directors to ruin your life, family life, etc whilst you sit back and watch them Lording it up over all of you? Thanks Britain, not Great anymore.

Ha! What makes you all think you don't deserve a dictatorship? I've seen the way you all behave in public....

Democracy is when 4 foxes and 1 duck decide what to have for dinner.

The overwhelming political problem in this country is that we keep voting either Labour or Conservative into power. Many have commented on how the 2 now seem little different from each other.

The point is why should these politicians be bothered about you, the voter, if they don't have to be bothered about you? They know getting elected must be a given at some point. One just has to wait for the other to become unpopular.

We have a dictatorship style democracy because you the voter have no courage of conviction, our politicians - all of them - have been bought by big business and you don't force them to represent you, instead you let them get away with bad decisions. It still amazes me that the Tories were re-elected in 1992, in the middle of "the worst recession since the second world war, " and the incompetence of the ERM. These things caused fiancial ruin, small business failure, family breakup, critical social division and a nation of utter despair. We have dictatorship because you were incapable of thinking, (how wrong this was.)
