Should Britain be a Dictatorship ?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Half of Generation Z (13 to 27 for us oldies) think Britain would be better off with a single powerful leader.
Is this more youthful nonsense like pronouns and 43 genders or are the youngsters onto something?
Has democracy had its days ?
And who would be a good British Dictator? |

To be fair we live in an Elective Dictatorship already. We have no power, other than for polling day once every five years. Then it's just one person making it up as they go along until the next person is voted in.
Then it's just rinse and repeat,

Well, if 57K folks in Greenland are "loved by Trump" and he thinks he can buy them, I am sure we could easily find 57K or more here too who'd like a new leader.
It's not beyond imagination that Trump might offer to "buy" the UK.
The question is, are we prepared to sell and on what terms ?
This is the new world order now. Want a country ? Buy it ! Everything's up for grabs ! If they don't comply, slap a tariff. Easy, according to Mr T.

it perhaps shows that a lot of politicians are not attractive & connecting to younger voters, all talk & no action? in my view democracy has to be made to work for people or they may back a dictator |

It is also the old world order - a lot of countries have been bought. Most of America was purchased - California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah from the Mexicans, Alaska from the Russians, Louisiana from the French and Florida from the Spanish. The British sold Dunkirk to the French and bought Singapore from Johor. Scotland bought the Isle of Man and a lot of their islands from the Norwegians. The list goes on… |

"Probably says more about our education system than anything else"
This plus our apathy and the ease of how in general we are manipulated, divided into camps to squabble whilst those who benefit the most from the current democratic model..
Whatever the faults of the ones in power whatever the party likening them to actual dictators who murdered millions is a prime example of ignorance..
Anyone who has escaped actual dictatorial regime's will raise their eyes at this report.. |

"Maybe they should watch some of the programs that were shown yesterday.
That is an excellent point."
Absolutely agree too..
Danny Finkelstein summed it up on Newsnight when he spoke about his family and their tragic experiences with both Hitler and Stalin.. |

I think it was Churchill who described democracy as the "least worst form of government".
He had a point because democracy is far from perfect and has plenty of faults.
The main one being that it gives us politicians who rarely look further than the next election.
Governments try to be all things to all men (and usually fail) oppositions bang the drum and try to make the smallest issue into a national tragedy.
Probably the best example in the UK is the NHS. Everyone knows it needs serious reform but both party's are scared shitless of grasping the nettle. More concerned about who they will upset than actually improving the service.
Tinker around the edges chuck a few bucketful's of money at it and hope the problem goes away. That seems to be the best either party can come up with.
Neither Tory or Labour want to be accused by the other (and they will be) of "tearing apart the NHS". So on that issue democracy isn't working.
Democracy also fosters tribalism in the electorate, nowhere more strongly than in the UK.
I think more people vote to keep one party out than want the party they vote for in. Yeah I know. 
I could put up an argument for a dictator but it wouldn't be a very strong one. Besides that "nice" dictator that everyone loves this week can (and almost certainly will) quickly turn into the stuff of nightmares.
So I'll stick with democracy for now. It could do with a few tweaks and would be much better if the major party's didn't bicker as much. In fact taking political party's out of it altogether would be a good tweak. |

Looking at the state of European politics I’m not sure that would be a good thing. |

Not often we agree but that is pretty much what I was going to say. 
Germany is the prime example at the moment.
Minor parties with disproportionate power and senior ministers from parties that barely one in ten Germans voted for.
Needless to say the government, nicknamed "Traffic Light" (red yellow green) was an embarrassing dogs breakfast which eventually collapsed.
General election next month but it probably won't be much better. The votes will be counted then the horse trading will begin with the possibility of parties polling just over the 5% threshold being part of the government and another party polling over 20% likely to be frozen out.
Democracy in action eh. |

They are too stupid to sit down and concentrate on they for longer than 15 seconds unless it’s on tik tok 
Though I don’t hold much actual stock on a pole from a tiny 3000 people asked |

"Ps imma throw my name is as new overlord of UK

You got my vote, as long as you pass a law for facial Friday.
Everyone over 18 is entitled to give or receive a big cummy facial every Friday, employers must give paid leave to accommodate

Systems that don't seem to serve your needs, when you've got just a few years of experience in life, will get increased lack of tolerance.
The proposal doesn't seem to have had a lot of deep thoughts put behind it and, would presumably be less attractive, once they are asked to contemplate living inside many of the dictatorships around the world as well as the consequences that have previously occurred under such leaderships in Europe.

I am for you not them. So I shall enshrine this Friday facial.
I shall also make it law that Saturday is sexual Saturday for people to pro recreate. Any singles shall be paired by the new AI logik mind with suitable singles for this act
