If you were creating a government...
 
How would you go about it? Would you go the way of western democracy, would you use direct democracy and go one step further letting everyone vote on everything that was passed?

Or would you have a dictatorship that oppressed the people because you know best?

Both have shown to work well, infact you could say that dictatorship worked better than democracy in say Iraq (well certainly at the moment)..

What would you do?

Communism is the only way forward in my book; it's just never been done right.
Follow The Communist Manifesto to the letter and it would be brill.
Honest.

communism works brilliantly on a small scale and also in theory however i doubt the effectiveness on a large scale
i don't think there is a completeley effective form of government as people are naturally greedy and want more than they've got which opens the doors wide open to corruption

so in an ideal world yes a total democratic system would be wonderful however for it to work you would need honest integruous politicians who actually believe that they are there to represent the people and yes the people would need to vote on every issue

i agree wholeheartedly

that is because governments are run by overpaid faceless beauracratic fatcats who are only interested in the benefits to themselvesand not the hardworking majority fighting to make a decent living in this country

i think you will find it is very rare that you will find anyone entering politics because they feel the need to do good and help make things better

the majority of them are attracted by the benefits or the possibility of great rewards like expenses , backhanders and free lunches and i seriously think quite a lot of them actualy like the idea of been in charge and dictating what people shoudl do rather than working for teh people that vote for them

if all of tony blairs new laws he made and the iraq war had been put to a vote to teh people i would bet my life over 80% of his decisions would not have come to be especialy teh iraq war

we didnt go to war because it was needed we went to war because tony blair wanted to

local polotitions arnt as bad and in whole seem more honest than govenment polotitions but there is a hanfull who benefit greatly from their positions

Oh I would love to be the head of a dictatorship Government. My main aim would be to crush all men.

Obvious benefits would be men would only speak when spoken to. They would be held in holding cells until they were required to perform a duty. Women would be able to go along and choose which male they'd like to perform that duty ;) :D


VOTE FOR TINKERBELLE!!

Theoretically communism is not at all a bad idea - in practice some people always end up more equal than others unfortunately.

I would opt for a democracy with elected government where the government were more answerable to the public and for major issues held reforendums (reforenda?)
