New Government.

I’ve decided that we need a new system of government. More suited to the need of the people in 2002.
The old method was quite a good idea for 1600 or when ever. The old system was devised cos of the need for communication, round the country. So the idea was. We appointed a bloke. Stuck him on a horse, sent him down to London to see what the crack was, also to tell them about our troubles up here and ask for some help. Then he’d come back. Tell us a cock and bull story about some war with Spain and some thing about an Armada. So all our efforts to get some help, went down the plug hole and taxes went up, yet again. Strangely the bloke who we kept sending down to London, just got richer and richer. So we sacked him and got another. Still we never got what we wanted, The bloke, who ever we sent never did what he said he would do, also did many things that we don’t remember asking for. So we are now in 2002.

We have a telephone. A TV. We can write letters. But also have the internet.

So can we not get rid of these blokes. That we keep sending to London.

What I propose is this.

We have Richard and Judy presenting on the telly. And David Frost as well.
So lets say some twit Pm’s them with a request for speed cameras.
So the tv researchers get jenned up on the facts, hashes up a program with Jeremy Clarkson as presenter.
Then we get to ring this No. for Yes or that for No. Or press a button on the web page.
Then we can have, sub forums to sort out the nitty gritty and decide. For instance, that speed cameras are quite OK but must be set at 190 miles an hour. So now even the grannies are happy. But no one can argue cos we all voted for it.
We can have. Swing Ometers and all sorts of computer simulators to give us the facts and tell us the effects of 2p in the pound on tax or an extra billion on the health service.

So get rid of the Prime Minister all the MP’s I’m sure David Frost and others are quite capable of going off to Washington or where ever and coming back with the facts for us. Course Kim would be in it as well. Keeping the computers oiled.

This was all brought about by the Cooking oil thread. Whats wrong in using bloody cooking oil if we feel like it. Thought this was our Country and they were our servants. Or have I got it wrong again!

Have you considered the effect on the country of having 600-odd MP's, plus the thousands of hangers-on, suddenly redundant? And what on earth would they fill the news with?

Worse still, Tony Blair hacks into the system and votes himself President for life.

Then we luckier than a lot, we do have boats to escape.

Ok OK already ... it's a fair cop gov..

In my defence m'Lord I hardly think that 1 reference yesterday to Black Adder which I contributed to coupled to the above really constitutes "everything"........

Anyway you are as sad as me for knowing who Wolfy Smith is.

Thats the whole point. There are no presidents, No prime Ministers, no MP's, no Labour parties or Conservatives Nothing. Nowt. Only a Presenter or News Caster. They have to be imparcial and just do as they are told. Bit like. I'm A Celebrity. Thingy. Just press the button and vote yes or no.
