The Sad Fact: Politicians Need to Die
This isn't so much a page about the general corruption the government of the UK - but more to do with the apathy of the public in the UK.
When 100,000 people protest about an illegal war, we are ignored and now 100,000 innocent civillians and army personell are dead fighting a war of no benefit to them.
Britons are being watched...and watched...and watched and what is being watched is documented and tracked...Every time a new measure to curtail our civil liberties comes out, the smart people speak out but are of course, ignored.
Our rail system sucks, our NHS has become bogged under with beaurocracy, our schools spit out idiots with high grades, pick up a copy of Private Eye and learn about the corruption that is at the heart of government and why they will NEVER listen to you...
But what does anyone do? What do they really do? Jack Shit.
Protesting has been proven to be ineffective, when was the last time you heard of a protest changing anything?
Its time to take more direct action. Put the lives of politicians on the line.
You might say its extreme, they probably have families and not all of them are bad. Well there are 60 million people in the country with families too. We are supposed to be equal, in fact, politicians if anything are public servants - LESS than us. A toilet cleaner should have the same right to express an opinion and have it listened to as the head of Sainsburys.
Becoming a politician is a job, its a career. Some people go to university and become politicians because they know they can get a good life out it. It should be a calling, it should be a duty to serve your country in government.
Politicians need to know that we are serious. We are putty in their hands, played about by them so they can do anything they want with us. If just one was killed by the public, I'd hope that it would be felt by the entire House. If another killed, and another. Until it starts to creep in that they perhaps need to pay attention to us.
The French do a good job of this on a lesser scale, they don't kill their politicians but when they protest - everyone fucking knows about it. I just think in the UK with our culture being as it is, even if we did have a massive riot, it'd be forgotten a week later. We need something lasting, weeding out all politicians with their hands in the till.
We're the ones who control the House. More direct ways to implement democracy that bypass the human drive for corruption need to be put in place - like perhaps some kind of internet government, where people can set the agenda and vote for it - that doesn't need any politicians! When you don't give absolute power to an individual, they can not be corrupted absolutely.

The problem with the beauraucracy that's bringing things down, not to mention the huge problem with pensions (final salary pension schemes for life are ridiculous and unrealistic, they should be scrapped) isn't the politicians. Its the civil servants. Many do just want to do their jobs and go home, as do most of us. They're not the problem as such, the problem is that there's a lot of them, and there's more every year. As Parkinson's Law, and his coefficient of inefficiency highlight so effectively beauraucracies grow, and a larger beauraucracy is less efficient.
So killing the politicians would do very little to make any actual changes. They at least experience some form of accountability, its the people who are given authority over us with no accountability whatsoever, not to mention rather cushy and overly-rewarded jobs, who need to be dealt with.
