I could live with that.
Unfortunately, I cannot for one moment imagine our leaders ever agreeing to such a thing.

Everything else is subsidiary to this. Everything else should be managed around that core separation rather than the core separation being compromised.

There need to be specific TV channels for any group or party to broadcast on and we can not allow cost to dictate that otherwise it's just the guy with all the money that rules the media which is what we have now with Murdock & co.
Key example. If we had a referendum on whether we should keep or abolish the flu vaccination the result would be a foregone conclusion. They would keep it. All of the media coverage would support the "Keep It" camp because the flu vaccines are mega business profits for large Pharma corporations. We simply wouldn't get the truth via the media and that's a referendum killer.
