Democracy or Dictatorship? - Page 2

Frightening but not surprising

We keep saying President Blair and if this mushrooms the Mayamar Republic will be a lot more democratic than us. There is a film out Friday that shows what could happen if this happens and the possible reaction of people. Forgot its name though it is on the adverts enough.

There was a thread on the same subject a couple of weeks ago and it ended up just like this one - a series of posts all agreeing with each other. Why will no Labour party members come on here and defend their government's actions? Gayle tells us she doesn't feel qualified to defend national policies. Presumably, Graham Jones feels the same way. So why doesn't Greg Pope make an appearance to discuss government policies? The subject of this thread would make a good start!

Equally, perhaps Conservative and Lib Dem members could explain why their parties aren't kicking up a fuss about this extremely serious issue which could have far-reaching consequences for the future of democracy in this country.

Greg Pope aint brave enough and the other parties proberly see it as an advantage if they get in. We put the MP's in the house and we can take them out. Seems to mee they are running scared and see this action as a way to avoid the resposibility we give them to represent our intrests.

dictorships work...

sadam hussain had his country in order and look at the mess its in now hes gone

We already have a dictatorship in all but name.

You get a democracy back WillowTheWisp by a revolution, a bloody one if necessary.

George Orwell got it dead right apart from the year. He was about fifty years too early.

...and so another potentially interesting thread comes stuttering to a halt because Labour party members don't have the bottle to defend the government they support. Wimps!

Margaret Pilkington · 16-03-2006, 20:46

Don't say that you are surprised by their lack of backbone Wynonie.......!

Margaret Pilkington · 16-03-2006, 20:47

The current government are big on words but miniscule on action.....with them everything is smoke and mirrors.

Wynonie Harris · 16-03-2006, 21:03

I'm sorry to keep "labouring" the point, but I am surprised that local Labour party members will not publicly support the policies of the government they campaigned for.

It is rather strange that local politicans of both sides seem more than happy to use the letters page of the Observer to labour their point, but are too afraid to do so here.
