Thread Name: BS: The best type of government
Subject: RE: BS: The best type of government
It seems to be automatically assumed that the only tpe of Government possible is that we have already - "our little rant" seems to be a cop-out to avoid the fact that the present form of democracy is no longer serving the needs of the vast majority of the British people, and putting down complaints on the failures of the system to selfish moaning.
Britain no longer has an industrial base, the economy is growingly unstable, the gap between the wealthy and the poor is rapidly widening and economic crises are now becoming boringly regular.
Higher education is now virtually out of reach of the average working family - from aoccasional visits to 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' it seems one of the most common reasons given to win something is "to pay of my or my children's school fees".
Working people have no say in their lives, no security of tenure or employment - zero contracts have now replaced periods of notice.
It seems to be more than a little ingenuous to describe wishing to do something about this as "a rant"
It's an old Conservative ploy to describe a demand for a share in the National cake as "The politics of envy" - same meaning different words.
