    I smell a rat§§§

    FRENCH RIGHT WING PRIMARIES I smell a RAT! Democracy or gerrymandering in action? Pay 2 euros and vaguely adhere to a right-wing agenda and you have the right to vote. An outside candidate languishing in third place, is suddenly propelled to clear leader. In whose interest is it to...

    The EU referendum

    Eastleigh By-Election

    There will be something hugely wrong with democracy in this country if the candidate standing for the Beer, Baccy and Crumpet Party doesn't sail into Westminster.

  8. A dodgy day for democracy?

    Tomorrow the Queen will sit in on a cabinet meeting in a purely "observatory" role. Hang on, I thought since Cromwell and all that, monarchs and elected politicians were kept well apart. Let's hope this isn't the start of a trendy where Queen Liz can stick in her tuppence about cutting taxes...

    Death Penalty vote back in the forefront

    According to Sky News, MPs may be about to debate the reintroduction of the death penalty: With the vast improvements in DNA and forensic findings, is it time for a more up to date viewpoint from the cross section of SZ posters at large? For myself, I believe that if the evidence is 100%...

    With God on our side?

    http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2011/06/long-term-government-democracy It would appear that God (or at least the Archbishop)doesn't think a lot of the Coalition's plans for the country. Is he right though?

    No to AV

    Over the weekend I recieved not one, but two No to AV leaflets.... What a load of scare-mongering crap! If I’m honest I was already fairly certain I was going to vote YES in the referendum, but I wanted to read the No to AV leaflets to get some serious debate, what I got was...

    Some reforms to consider

    1 - Scrap televised debates (the one's that started this year with the 3 main party leaders). That's nothing to do with policy and more to do with media training. 2 - Ban politicians in office and candidates as soon as they are standing for office from appearing on 'entertainment' programmes...

    If you think this is another bore-fest thread about politics, then leave! I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that after one listen through, Chinese Democracy is a pretty good album! Glimses of GnR at their best, but also it sounds like an album for the 2000's, Axl has done good! So...

    Luiz Felipe Scolari

    Every managerial appointment at every football club in the world carries a certain amount of risk, but the decision to bring in Luiz Felipe Scolari as the new manager of Chelsea is like pouring petrol over a smouldering barbeque. On the face of it, it's a great way to get the fire burning again...

    The B.N.P.

    So, they have done extremely well again this year, coming 5th in the london Mayoral Vote. But do we really know the truth about the B.N.P?
