It will give whoever put May into power a virtual dictator power.

Especially as local short-lists will be supplined by central government.

Its a totalitarian takeover by the tories, UKIP smashed by tory moles,
liberal democrats smashed bu Cleggless' ambition.. Labour smashed by
hard left lunacy, and you will elect only candidates chosen by The
Party.

I would be surprised now if Brexit will ever be achieved.

Democracy in Britain is probably dead.

Wanting a degree of social cohesion and fairness along the lines of
Sweden, for instance, isn't "hard left". I find it most amusing that
everyone including the BBC is telling me I can't vote for Corbyn because
he is Not Appropriate and people of importance (Keith Vaz do they
mean?) won't accept him becoming Prime Minister. It is perhaps a
mistake to keep telling the British people too forcefully that they
"can't" do something - they might furn round and do it!


WE did, and we have been told we were stupid, and by the way we didn't
really mean it.

Democracy was the means by which we hoped to avert a civil war again. If
its been subverted to the extent I suspect, then it will either destroy
society altogether or leave armed insurrection as the only response.



My father, a pretty unreconstructed labour man, used to work with a chap
called John Bean, who stood once as an MP for one of the neo-Nazi
parties in the 1970's.

On one occasion John introduced him in the pub to the party leader, a
guy called Martin Webster, whom you may remember.

Webster's line was "I hear you are one of us, John tells me he's going
to see you on the barricades". At which point they had to explain to
Webster that they might well meet on the barricades, but it would be on
opposite sides.
