We floated a duck house in front of parliament. Since it was Guy Fawkes Night, we tried to set fire to it. We thought that given the large quantities of water surrounding the duck house this wouldn't be a problem. The Harbour Masters, who repeatedly tried to shut down our activities from the start, thought otherwise an...d obliterated our little construction with high-powered water hoses. So much for the right to protest!Read more

Isn't that 'parpolity' system akin to what the Swiss have? Already!

I think that the entire system of government is bankrupt. Any arrangement that can pass sovereignty away to a foreign party without referring to plebiscite can't be valid in any sense as a system of government. The EU situation shows that the UK never got past its medieval roots, and that sovereignty still belongs to the elite, who can act without reference to the people. Then again, that's not news to anyone here.

Vote for a Change There's all to play for as Ben Bradshaw becomes the first cabinet minister to break with the government line and back our call for a vote on election day.

The government could hold a referendum on electoral reform on the same day as the next general election, Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw has said.

What we nee to see is a preference voting for an electoral system, FPTP, STV, AV, AV+, AMS, etc, etc. The curreny system just causes all parties to be the same. It's not democracy.

Polly, don't worry about it, I might have over-reacted anyway

This Halloween we gave MPs a treat - a visit from some rosette clad cadavers, heading up Whitehall with a message that things need to change. Our Undead Democracy needs a shot in the arm, and that starts with a referendum on fair votes. ...

Or is it this democracy really just a state of mind in which we are living? As nothing gets done FOR the people by those who are put there by OUR choice.

A number had scaled Westminster Hall in the latest security breach there but about half have now come down, assisted by police.
