I do on occasion wonder if there is any mileage in having a benevolent dictator. Theoretically corruption could be reduced and having absolute power to begin with he should be less prone to undue influence. | ||

Funnily enough Benevolent Dictator is exactly what I thought when I read that post! | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | John said:I never wanted Cameron as pm but I'm shocked and sadend that he has stepped down,especially now my confidence in Corbyn has been rocked,at least Cameron had conviction and direction,thought he could at least begin to steer us into the future.not a total suprise though I guess. :/ Conviction and direction? He gave us a referendum on something he knew would be a crushing disaster if he lost in order to shore up his majority by throwing a bone to his right-wing nutter element. That fact that he was sure it would be easily winnable doesn't excuse his cynicism. | ||

It just annoys me when I've heard people saying 'I'll just vote for the top option whatever that is' and equally as daft reasons. Everyone has a right to an opinion and I don't have to agree with them, but if they are based on any form of logic or good reason I will respect them. But for me too many people just don't take it seriously. I am very much for democracy, I just wish people would appreciate it a bit more and do a bit of thinking before voting. | ||

He debated,made clear his views and led the way .Ok I don't particularly like him and I don't like Tory governments but he stood up ,don't think he should have stepped down so quickly although I can understand why.as a Labour voter I don't have any faith in Corbyn at all.......and he won't sing the anthem. | ||

On the other hand, I do hope France lets all the Calais migrants loose across the Channel. Not our problem anymore, if it ever was. http://imgur.com/topic/Brexit/RKKYC?forcedesktop=1 | ||

Worried there for a second Rob lol,your right ,I was speaking to a work colleague, I said "you voting tomorrow" she said "yeah I'm out" I said " cool why is that?" She said to my dismay "coz everyone seems to be" If that's representative of the average voter then I can kind of see the point in Churchill's witty quote. | ||
