Aren't the British credited with inventing modern democracy? No, that would be the Greeks , who gave us the word DEMOCRACY Demos = people, and Kratos = rule or power


So I can assume they want to end democracy Make all the baseless assumptions you like mate.

Many SNP supporters want the elderly to lose the right to vote
Just where did you dig up that rather dubious "information"?....The Daily Moseley?

It is simply staggering at how how can be so misguided, or just plain wrong in your thinking. (Oh, and I helped out a little with your grammar too.)

While some of your points are not entirely without merit, the Greeks did not invent modern democracy. Oddly the ancient Greek version may well have greater legitimacy.

I was going to go on and say something quite similar, re ancient Greeks, but it was turning into an essay and I didn't think I should subject that sort of torrent of prose on anyone - while just trying to correct the point that modern democracy wasn't one of our own claims....
