Exactly! The democratic right of self-opinionated know-it-alls to get on their soap boxes and speak for everyone else whether they were asked to or not!
It's called representative democracy, and like it or not, it is the political system that prevails in the western world..
I'm not complaining about their right to do it, just what they might say in my name. And not on this subject, I'd be on their side (even if that'd mean being on the same side as that bloody man Galloway), but on other subjects where these self serving, self important guys get off on.
They who get the most votes are given the power of representation of the masses...It is a far cry from the Greeks original interpretation of democracy..
Britain is a democracy - "my arse" (Ricky Tomlinson - read his autobiography it will open your eyes about our democracy and that starts from the sixties/seventies)
I like Ricky anarl, but I wouldn't trust his politics further than I could throw him (not far, the fat bastard!). Way too left field, which puts him on a par with Farage IMHO i.e. too far from the centre to be sensible.
