With the current system we vote for the MP's who we think will do the best for us. We vote them into government but as a country we hardly do anything about them if we don't like what they are doing other than not vote for them at the next election.
One thing that always puzzled me was how Tony Blair stayed as PM after the 2003 march against war in Iraq? I was in London that weekend staying at County Hall and there was easily 1million people about and yet he survived.
Surely the people were marching against the war in Iraq and were not marching because they wanted Tony Blair to make way for Iain Duncan Smith or, perish the thought, Gordon Brown?

But if you feel so strong about it then that must be a vote of no confidence in Bliar

Hope that was intentional and not a typo.

It's comments like this that make me think that you're alright Kin, regardless of what everyone else says.

I'd go with the majority. We do live in a democracy after all.

Yes but we should exercise diplomacy.

It doesn't matter who votes for what anyway, we just rotate leadership every 8-12 years anyway. Flawed system in Britain in my opinion. It barely matters anyway as everyone's policies are merged down the centre but I guess that's always going to happen when you design a political system that encourages this, due to the vast majority of people being in the middle.
Isnt that system democracy? You have a better idea?
Well yes and no, its a form of democracy. Yes but it would never work. There is no perfect system due to humans having flaws. An intellectual elite that lasted for twenty years or so, had no focus on retaining power but a lot more on actual improvements would be ideal. But no way of safeguarding against the power hungry and greedy. The world is riddled with issues. When we consider the fact that enough food for everyone exists but people starve to death. A society where knowledge, resources and pleasure are shared equally ala Utopia (original book) would be ideal but ultimately impossible.
