Quote:Everyone has 10 seconds of Democracy--when you place your vote on the ballot paper--then the MP, MSP, or MEP that you voted in does whatever the party machine dictates to him or her--and F88K you pal, you had your 10 seconds of democracy now F88K off for another 5 years
Which of course why we are in the mess that we are in. That is becuase so many people think what you have just stated is what democracy is. Their only interaction with democracy, as you say, is on polling day.
Democracy, is of course up to us, as indeed it is up to us how much we enegage with it and influence it.
And the end of the day, the people will get the government they deserve.
