Democracy. The only thing wrong with ours is its foundation.

The foundation of democracy surely is an informed public.

To inform a public they need simple clear comparable facts available at the time of engagement.

The voting system should not be open to abuse (like changing a box full of ticked papers)

The solution is simple.

As your politician to support a new bill for elections.

1. The electorate have the right to a clear comparable list of the policies each candidate must support and the order in which they will drive the forwards. (Voters deserve and informed choice)

2. The right to have this REAL INFORMATION provided in a clear comparable manner with the polling cards, on a government website and outside polling booths. (Working representative should have the key reliable information published for free).

3. The right to a unique code and a constituency wide how codes voted download. (no vote rigging)


It is completely insane that this is not how our democracy is done. And you try getting a politicians to discuss it..even a Green one.

Nothing can change unless we demand it.

Luckily you can. If your candidate says that they support the right to recall MPs who break their promises then call them out on it.

They can just opt in.

Frackers. Who do you trust to check the pollution. Who pays when it spreads far enough that someone independent finds out?

Eric Garner. When should a hero of society step up and what are their rights.

I think most people who watch the manslaughter of Eric Garner on this video and presented with an interesting problem.

Those people conducting an arrest are police doing a tough job.

The late Eric Garner is arguing his case and I personally can accept that they are going to have to arrest him physically, if only because a law that should not exist does.

As soon as they decide to physically arrest, the opening move was clearly a dangerous assault. Far worse than the crime of selling individual cigarettes. But they are police. They have a tough job and no-one is perfect.

With Eric on the floor, complaining he can not breath, it is clear to me that the policeman with the choke hold is no longer required to restrain, and he is endangering Eric Garners life.

I always try to do what I believe is right. That fallible human killing Garner, who happens to be a police officer is making a bad decision or has stopped thinking.

In this instance I would feel it is my duty to step up and restrain the human doing wrong.

I like to think I would, and can only hope I am never to witness something like this, because if I do, if I conduct a citizens arrest on a police officer I have little doubt that my family will face loosing quality time with a good man loves them.

Its a massive sacrifice, but one I would have to make to be the good person I am proud to be.

It is important to remember here that an indictment is simply allowing a case to go to a trial by jury.

We are in an interesting times. With politicians lying, selling state assets to companies they are involved win and hoarding the ownership of others necessities in complicated schemes that allows those credits to pass from generation to generation, regardless of merit.

There's a storm brewing.

Please think carefully before you vote.

Are these MP's are scum or do they represnt consitituents who are by majority, scum?

 
There was recently a vote as to if the UK should recognise a state of Palestine.

The good news is that we overwhelmingly do with 274 ayes to 12 noes.

These are the creatures that voted against. Apparantly pillars of society elected to represent a community fairly and decently?

Beith, rh Sir Alan
Blackman, Bob
Djanogly, Mr Jonathan

Freer, Mike
McCrea, Dr William

Shannon, Jim
Simpson, David
Syms, Mr Robert.

The good news for the people of Berkshire is that our MPs are not on that list. The bad news is that they are not on the list of those who votes 'aye' either.

Our local MPs abstained.

 

Alok Sharma. Reading. Conservative.

John Redwood. Wokingham. Conservative.

Phillip Lee. Bracknell. Conservative.

Rob Wilson. Reading. Conservative. 

 

 

I can only hope our Reading and Wokingham MPs who did not take part have good excuses otherwise would add to the likelihood that they have questionable morality about other things they don't talk about.

Not just Redwood and his beloved offshore tax industry.

It may be that I'm wrong and the majority of our middle class suburbia think that it was fine for us to agree to install Israel in Palestine back in 1917 and should fine not to recognise any state Palestine.

If we voters are in the same proportional agreement as government was then it is one hell of a poor representation that NONE of our MPs voted.

In their defence half of MPs did not vote, so we perhaps should have expected just two to bother to turn up.

Not in their defence. I missed the memo from Redwood asking our opinion in the local press.

Do ask why it is that they did partake on the vote. If they have an honourable view, ask them to do so publically.

Meanwhile. If you really want to make sure your candidate is not a crook, ask them to respect your right to an informed choice using

Where is all started

The vote.

Can we have Wolf-Pac.com in the UK. Great idea. Missing the first bit.

Fantastic news for democracy in the US. But for an issue that has a 96% public approval rating, why is change coming so slowly from their 'representatives'?

Wolf-Pac.com is the website for a political movement to pass a 28th Amendment in the US and undo the damage caused by Citizens United. Citizens United is the movement where 7 unelected 'Supreme Justices' gave corporations  freedom of speech, and decided that 'Money is Speech' as a result corporations could put as much money as they like into politics.


This would not be such a problem if consumer rights were extended to voters. In the absence of clear product labelling with politicians, the ability to list ones nicest points on TVs across the country and, rather than work a 9-5, go door to door or in a motorhome being nice but promising nothing.

Highlighting this problem has always been the premise of TYT network.

But watching electoral twitter feeds of late I really do despair. I see supporters of the wolf-pac.com campaign and volunteer tweeter for the show asking people to blindly vote blue.

The show makes it quite clear that there are plenty of corrupt politicians wearing a blue tie too. The people who manage to become blue candidates had to be selected from within an exclusive group.

91% of voters who are made aware of it support an end to Citizens United. So those who truly intend to represent do not really have a leg to stand on.

We can not expect a majority of honest politicians until is it passed all the while that there is no fair standardised policy comparison.

We can not make the right changes without an honest majority.

There is therefore no more important policy your candidate to support if they wish to represent.

This is no a new discussion. Obama and Cameron spoke of cleaning up crony politics in each of their elections, and if anything both made it worse.

So please #TNTTweeters #TYNTweeters. Don't rush around asking people to #VoteBlue or #VoteSMART until you have done your own due diligence. Make sure that your candidate committed to the 28th Amendment before you vote and ask them to do the same.

You might like to consider something like SMART-voter.org to hold them to it.
