New Labour, is this a democracy or a dictatorship?

Democracy or Dictatorship?

New Labour Dictatorship?

We allegedly live in a democracy, yet in truth; a vast majority of the voters in this country either failed to vote, or voted for a party other than New Labour in the last general election.



Is democracy a system we really need anymore? For a long time now, our parliamentary politicians have become steadily more useless, steadily more corrupt and greedy. The wishes of the public are continually ignored.

26-11-2007I 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.jk12

27-8-2007The 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 b...moreChris
