Every one in the uk is a Terrorist according to the Terrorism Act. We really do live in a police state here. This isn't anything new ither this has been going on for nearly 20 years now since they first implemented it with the promise they wouldn't use it to harrass protestors it was the first thing they did.

The voting public have no interest in freedom.

The voting public also doesn't have any way of doing anything against this in any meaningful or efficient way.

Last I checked UK wasn't a direct democracy.

TBF it's not supposed to be a direct democracy.

You can start a campaign. They can bring about change, in the long run. If a think tank was campaigning for something you didn't like, I bet you'd be first to complain about it...

Of course, for all of that you need money, and quite a lot of money, and where are you going to get it in such large amounts? Eh, I dunno, I am not a politician myself and lobbying and corporate donations probably have nothing to do with that.

[sideshowb]

From others who support your campaign. Yeah, it does suck that money == power. IMO representative democracy isn't a problem, but corporate lobbying is.

There are no nations which are direct democracies.
