So once again we have the ugly sight of a law being imposed on people by MPs for whom they never voted

There's our current parliamentary system for you Giok! Unfortunately whatever system is in place you will still get the same thing happening. If we had proportional represenation or any of the other systems rather than 'first past the post' we would still get laws being imposed by people for whom they never voted! I am sure the same happened when slavery was abolished and when the National Health act was passed.

That, I'm afraid, is the nature of the beast. Whoever is in power will impose their will on someone who disagrees. The best they can hope for is to satisfy the will and needs of the majority - Or those who they perceive as being the majority able to keep them in power.

While super ted is right and you are 100% correct in your above statement, it is simply a truism and does nothing to add to the argument for or against the hunt:-(

Now, if you are arguing against the whole concept of government, you would certainly have a point and me as a strong supporter. Particularly if you agree that the best alternative would be a benign dictatorship with me at the head...
