Ministerial veto 7:07pm on 24 Feb 2009 Sigh... Freedom of information indeed! Freedom for the rich, surveillance of the poor.

It doesn't make an iota of difference if labour or conservative are in, both are corrupt as each other, and all are part of the 'old-boy network'. Basically the whole system is broken.

Scrap House of Lords entirely, keep the House of Commons (but only to present arguments to the public) and then let the public vote on EVERYTHING of any public importance. Every citizen can have a buzzer like on 'Who wants to be a millionaire' :-) It would certainly work better than what we have now!
Obama's 'green dream' 1:19pm on 22 Dec 2008 #1 CuckooToo

IMHO it doesn't really matter whether climate change is man-made or not, the lower the impact we have on the Earth the better. Hey, call me a hippy...
Fast food nation 11:18pm on 04 Nov 2008 I feel that this race has reinvigorated politics not just in the US, but worldwide. You only need to check http://www.iftheworldcouldvote.com/ to see how much this means the world over.

I for one will be staying up overnight to watch the results as they come in. Here's hoping for an Obama win!
What victory would mean 1:04pm on 04 Nov 2008 I sincerely hope Obama wins, and it would truly be a momentous occasion and help restore the world's faith in the USA. However I have a realistic vision of what he can actually accomplish. The US economy is in tatters and they are deeply mired in two costly wars. Health care reform is going to be much more problematic than either candidate makes out.

As a side-note, why is Obama always described as black? His mum was white and his dad was black, so I fail to see how this makes him black. In fact all mixed-race celebrities are always considered black; even the very fair-skinned Lewis Hamilton. I think many 'white' people have darker skin than him!
