I think we should revive your "...Thanks Steve. I think we should revive your "Don't vote!" website as the nucleus for a movement for a truly republican constitution. It would be a society, not a political party. A movement with a single aim: to replace the present undemocratic 18th century political slum with a gleaming 21st century democracy. An educated and technologically equipped people deserves nothing less.Dominic Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745045046621765166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33150821.post-28140788875799128112009-08-25T18:00:12.893+12:002009-08-25T18:00:12.893+12:00Well I certainly agree with you Dominic.

When a government is elected it is with a package deal of bundled policies. Yet we all know one party doesn't have all the best policies and the opposition parties all the worst policies. I even started a website called DONT VOTE. Unfortunately there wasn't a huge amount of interest but there was one enquiry from the press. Until we have binding referendums we will not have democracy. Only a weakened version.Steve Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231150911705855174noreply@blogger.com
