  • bilby "At present, the whole political system works like this. We elect a government on the basis of a manifesto containing hundreds of proposals. Probability suggests that a few thousand open-minded people might agree or disagree with all of them. Everyone else will favour some policies and reject others. But the new government interprets its victory as public support for every item in the manifesto, except those that it decides to drop. The moment we seek to refine our choice, by protesting against one of the proposals we are deemed to have supported, we are told that we are being undemocratic: the people have spoken - who are we to disagree? In the meantime, corporate lobbyists glide through government offices, reshaping policies to suit their commercial needs." - 'An Idiot's Referendum', George Monbiot, 11 Sep 2007. Dec 12, 2007
