Yes you are totally right, i'll just go to Brussels and sign a pullout clause for the UK, travel to Zimbabwe and oust Zanu-PF and President Mugabe and on my return persuade the Chinese leadership to dissolve the communist party.Quote:

As for PR being a good system, lol@any politics student believing that
Yes sir.Quote:

I'm pretty sure they do, hence they were elected.Quote:

UKIP would be in opposition, they polled second to the Conservatives. On the majority view, why do none of the main parties want a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty?, why do none of the main parties want to leave the European Union?, why do none of the main parties ever make any attempts to stop immigration?, why do none of the main parties wish to bring back the death penalty? (or at least have a referendum on it)Quote:

Yeah I hear minority governments are really good and benefit the people loads.
The government should lose powers via the idea of more referendums, meaning government would become less important. Whips also need to be abolished and MP's need to vote based on what their consituency wants and not what their party wants. The lines need to be re-drawn as Scotland and Wales are over-represented based on numbers compared to English seats.Quote:

Democracy should mirror what the people want, not what the ruling elite want.
