Sometimes, it seems as if democracy is a waste of time... first off, these days established democracies are generally about... 50% apathetic toward voting, in the Britains this is not surprising. Two main parties - let's not pretend the Liberal Democrats are much more than drunks - who now occupy so much of the same political space, it's impossible to tell who is who.

The USA need not worry about a socialist government in Britain, Tony Blair pretty much made sure socialism was replaced by Tory policies with some tweaks and such... but anyone that thinks there is any significant difference between the two parties now is mental.

And what is democracy without choice? To be honest, party politics is the absolute anathema of democracy... not that indirect democracy was ever particularly great... but party politics rather blunts the idea. People are elected for their party, not their person... this renders the indirect democracy mute in the face of party whips and such... Especially New Labour drones, who are controlled by embedded computer chips.

If you are discontent with indirect democracy, this is because it is a system that does not represent you and because people are apathetic. Democracy is simply a bad because the vast majority of you are people who do not deserve to reproduce, let alone vote... democracy is bad because it espouses a fundamental lie. Everyone is equal... do you really think you're equal to Jimmy Billionaire, probably dodging tax and buying his knighthood? Plus, you're ugly
