Democracy is no way to run a country

[Caolam]

They make you do a test to drive a car but they let you help choose the government without qualification. Worse still they let you stand for election again without qualification.
Democracy is idiot's voting for eejits.

Certainly it is hard to defend democracy when the choice in May boils down to Cameron, Miliband, Clegg, Sturgeon, Farage, or any combination of the same. Fortunately I live in one of the few seats in the country that has a decent Labour MP so I can just pretend that I am voting for her instead.

Yes it was his skill as an orator that stands out rather than what he actually said.

The elected parties don't control the economy, foreign policy, security services......

The Catholic Church and the Chinese Communist Party must have it right then by only allowing top party members and Archbishops to vote........
