No, I’m certainly not suggesting that expressing a view contrary to that of the elected (or unelected) government is undemocratic; that is an absolute right that I will defend to my dying day…

…but I was suggesting that it was difficult to see how some form of ‘socialist’ policies would be the answer to all the country’s problems (particularly national debt) when, for the last forty years at least, the electorate has (despite the worst financial crisis in a generation and the ‘failure of capitalism’) utterly rejected any party with a remotely ‘socialist’ agenda.

Even if ‘socialist policies’ are the answer it is irrelevant unless you can get people to vote for them; if you believe in democracy the electorate cannot, by definition, vote in the ‘wrong’ government!

You are a voice crying in the wilderness…..but that is your right! 🙂
