    Yes Kev

    I agree with your words totally.

    The point I have really been trying to make all along is I think we need to look at things from a different angle.

    A culture has been created based on greed and celebrity culture and all politicians who have held power for the last 40 years have been involved in establishing the society.

    It’s not all bad as proven by the army of people who came out to sweep up the mess and the messages that came from Birmingham over the weekend.

    I can also see on the horizon problems looming from the “north – south” divide in the UK.

    Virtually all the work now seems to be centred in the South East…

    For too long the countries politicians have worked on a short term, lets get rich now and dont worry about the future policy. It has left us with little industry, deminishing commerce and a strange education system. The major money earner being the City and financial services….which has lead and continues to lead us even bigger problems.

    I am concerned about the future. I’m very glad I am not a youngster these days, especially those based outside the South East.

    It might be wooly thinking but wider coilitions might be the way to go hence my interest in changing the voting system and indeed the Head of State.

    This is a very easy argument to dismiss of course but we need to get people engaged and avoid mass unemployment for the under 25’s.

    If the under 25’s feel, in large numbers , they have nothing to look forward to and no future, ergo nothing to loose we will see lots more riots.

    No, that does not make it right or acceptable in principal. However, I feel that is what will result.

    24 hour rolling news and modern communications are making massive changes to day to day living and society in general….

    phew…..does any of that make sense ??

    OK how about this.

    We have a vote every “x” years to decide on the Head of State.

    If the people wish Mrs Sax Coburg to be Queen and Head of State then I will be delighted with that.

    What I would like to see would be the opportunity for every British born person to be able to become the countries Head of State.

    In my opinion that would be democracy.

    Red Devil

    Thank you…..

    Whilst I dont agree with your point of view…by a long, long way I enjoyed your input and value very much your thoughts.

    In my humble opinion that is the idea of the forum.

    Kev

    I agree with your praise for the Asian business man in Birmingham. An example to us all.

    This is what I would do if in charge :

    AA/ An end to the royal family replaced by an elected president.

    BB/ A proper election system – an end to first past the post.

    CC/ A proper elected second chamber.

    DD/ A written bill of rights.

    EE/ A written constitution.

    FF/ A society based on opportunity and ability not what public school you went to.

    GG/ Elected police chiefs and associated personel who are responsible to the local people.

    HH/ Return the gas, water, electricity and transport systems to public ownership.

    JJ/ Pray the economic disaster around the corner does not come to fruition.

    Which will do for starters.

    My spelling is truely awful. It always has been and I’m afraid it always will be. I had loads of tests regarding it but nothing really come of it. Though it was many years ago now !

    35 + Years ago my history teacher once wrote of an essay I penned

    “” You keep spelling Hitler with two T’s, no examiner will like that ! “

    hey ho !
