ELECTIVE DICTATORSHIP.

Our MP, Kenneth Clarke, has raised the subject of allowing an elected government to run away with the understanding that it can do whatever it likes, when it has the backing of a large majority. The previous series of Labour administrations certainly pursued this practice; particularly when confronted with decisions on Europe.

As Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke should look back to his agreement with the Blair/Brown regimes, on avoiding electoral involvement in such sheepish acts. The greatest threat to our sovereignty emanates from this lack of democracy shown in all aspects of British politics. Europe is the major question of our time, and we disregard it at our peril.

Although the current coalition Government appears to be proceeding fairly smoothly, can our Prime Minister avoid repeating 'I will do this - I will do that'? This sounds like dictatorial speak, even though he may not mean it as such.

We are at a crossroads regarding our future. Nick Clegg has come up with the idea of the nation being given the opportunity of posting suggestions on line; unfortunately, this allows much abuse, as, to many, the computer is just a toy, something that we might expect from a largely ignorant nation.


IT'S TIME TO THINK AND ACT WISELY.
