For what it’s worth I’ve had many an argument over drinks about how America is not a democracy. It’s a Republic, which some contest is a form of democracy, and there is an argument for that. But when it comes down to it, it’s extremely hypocritical for America to try and “spread democracy”, and there are a million examples of why. And I would also agree that most Americans probably don’t understand or care about the nuances.
Lastly, I also don’t support a full democracy, which Aristotle would describe as anarchic mob rule, and Socrates was completely disdainful of. No majority should be able to commit things like slavery against a minority, and common unqualified individuals shouldn’t be getting voted into positions of immeasurable power.

You're a smart guy from what I've observed but you are having an absolute fucking mare in this thread.Miguelito wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 5:29 amAnd I just find it hypocritical that at every point his argument is based on “democracy”, and even in that statement he points out “elected member”, when he does not come from a democracy and his own country just appointed a PM with 92,000 elderly white guys deciding for the entire UK.
But it’s pretty much a moot point, he has three months left in the EU parliament anyways. Perhaps he could spend that time better campaigning for his own country’s future.
You really should not post about UK politics, you demonstrably know absolutely fuck all about how it works and you're making yourself look like a stupid, shrill, sloganeering cunt.
To make statements about "elderly white guys deciding" is embarrassing. You obviously do not realise that the 92,000 you refer to comprise the general public membership of the Conservative Party. These people are of all races, sexes and ages. Ever heard of the Young Conservatives? Take a wild guess what they are. And yeah, as Members they got to fucking vote for the leader of the Conservative Party. You may extrapolate they are not elderly but I can't attest to them being not criminally white. The bastards. Some of them are probably male, too. The cunts. Anyway, here's something else for you to mull on.
This is the new Chairman of the Conservative and Unionist Party. Just look at that old white cunt. Sickening, isn't it. Racist bastards.
This is the new Chancellor of The Exchequer. Fucking honkies. Just can't help themselves, can they? Another white coffin dodger.
Home Secretary? Look at this old, white fucker. This one's even trying to pass itself off as transgender.
You have no clue how British politics works. None. Do you know how many Prime Ministers have taken office in the same manner? Here's a graphic to wash away your ignorance on the matter.
See that Gordon Brown? The last Labour PM. Like to take a guess at how many people anywhere, of any class or station or political party affiliation actually voted for him to accede to the Leadership of the Labour Party and, by extension of that, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?
Fucking none. Not one elderly white man. Not one young female. Nobody at all. Not even black transgender members of the Labour Party got a say in that one.
You want to talk about ersatz democracy and "appointments"? Talk about Ursula von der Leyen and its ilk. Foisted upon the millions of citizens of the EU by the EU Council as their new EU President through an entirely opaque process of backroom horse-trading, followed by strong-arming and bribing the members of the EU Parliament into rubber stamping the corrupt shenanigans and still only succeeding in getting it through by wafer thin majority when she was the only candidate. Yes. Really. Read that again. That bastion of democracy gave them one candidate to vote for. Even Mugabe wasn't that brazen all the time.
And those cunts are talking about coming over and haranguing someone about restrictive candidacy and lack of democracy?
Anyway, next time you get that swelling, bursting feeling inside, and you want to start regurgitating opinions about a society and a political system you really, really don't understand which will weigh in at around the level of sophistication and sagacity as the posts from blue-haired mongoloid millennials on Twatter and Faecebook, do yourself a favour, Don't.
Go out for dinner, take photos of what hits the table and write a review of the restaurant. You're a gourmand and a connoisseur, without a doubt, but when you start writing about British politics it's like listening to an American soccer mom housewife guest commentating at the World Cup for ESPN.

That's mean. What has it got to do with what I posted?
You sound like one of the Remain.
And for the record, I think every UK European MP should be banned at once from Cambodia. They now need trade, which includes tariffs.
I lived in the UK for many years and worked for the government, and I can tell you first hand ............ it's a fuckin mess.That's a moot point. The UK voted to exit and leave the EU. They did not. And did not again, and here we are again. What kind of democracy is that? It's becoming plain that it is completely undemocratic when the people can't choose a leader to exit, as they voted for.

Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.
Damn, the Brits are really offended by this. Must suck to go from being a superpower to being irrelevant in the world.
As to the MPs, who cares? The rainman will never come.

Extensive studies have shown them to be mostly poor, uneducated, racist conts.

Plus all politicians are self serving narcissists who should be ridiculed at every opportunity, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.
That Pretty Petal looks well worth listening to though no? Ohhh matron you are awwwful.
Just my 2 cents.

Good work Gav. Some American bollocks being spouted here. No country is truly democratic except maybe Switzerland with its referenda.
The Electoral College is as ridiculous as the Lords. A state with half a million people gets two votes as does California with 35 million people. Hence Trump.
The EU people go all over the World to see what is really going on. I must engage with this politician chap on twitter. A couple of my ancestors were Liberal politicians. I have one now who is a Tory unfortunately.

I also don’t support the electoral college. In theory it’s good as the delegates can technically vote for whomever they want, so as it was designed they should have stopped Trump, but no one had the balls to do so.
As Winston Churchill famously quipped, "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."

Can you please post links to these 'extensive studies"spitthedog wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 5:01 pmIgnore the EU haters.

And while you're about it, please post details of who funded them?
Because, for 2 years, I worked for a Euro/US-funded group, and only in the last 2 months did I realize it was all a money-making fiasco.
Serious money-making.

Exactly. The peasants should never have been given the vote, utter nonsense - liberal PC reform madness ran riot.
