Democracy Inaction

You may be under the illusion that you live in a democracy. In order to continue to foster that illusion 10 Downing Street has a website that allows the creation of, and signing of petitions.



There are several active petitions, but those that actually caught the GF's eye were:

1. We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to... Implement a procedure whereby the population can vote to remove the sitting government and force a general election.

2. We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to… Scrap the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy

And of course you can add your own. Feel free to visit the site and add your name to the petitions that you believe to be worthwhile.



How about "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to..."

• Give the English the same rights as the Scots and Welsh
• Save the taxpayer £140,000 per year by sacking John Prescott
• Live up to the promise of a government that is whiter than white
• Remember he works for us, not the other way round
• Stop wasting money on unelected assemblies and quangos
• Prosecute Gordon Brown for the theft of £100Bn from private pension schemes
• Amend the Human Rights Act so that it gives rights to Victims and not just Perpetrators.
• Stop being so condescending

Well, it's a start!
