Here's a bizarre thought. As each bank successively goes tits up and is bought by the taxpayer, that means that the people effectively own the wealth. Then they can sack the halfwits in Westminster and take over. Maybe?



Maybe I need to get my thoughts a little closer to the inside of the box!

In theory we can already sack the feckwits in Westminister, they are only there by the consent of the public.

How can we sack the government? Gordo is surviving at the moment when an increasing number of MPs of his own party are calling for a leadership contest.

I believe that governments are the servents of the public, not their masters, something labour seem to have forgotten... But how can we get rid of them?

21st century socialism? Siesing the means of capital? smile
I wouldn't be surprised to see the real left try to make a comeback now.

In basic terms that is what a democracy should mean. But the rules that underpin this mean that we can't all have a voice in the middle of a term of office.

Twunts.

Because, using the Constitutional Law we can. In theory. As I said.

Never mind Britian. It's that bastion of the free market across the pond who have really turned into a socialist state.

Lenin would be proud.
