No Karen darlin' 'New Labour' are too m uch like old Tory. Besides which, it's no good swopping one set of thieves and replacing them with another bunch of incompetents. What we need to do is to change the system of Government entirely - Guy Fawkes Mk II !!!
Firstly, we need a TRULY democratic system, so Members of Parliament, once elected, will be DELEGATES and not REPRESENTATIVES as happens now. They will NOT be allowed to vote on matters as they think they should but will be MANDATED to vote as their own constituents demand. This would seriously weaken the system of 'Party politics' and end the two party monopoly on parliament.
We also need a fully elected second chamber, so the abolition of privelege by the destruction of the House of Lords and its replacement with a fully elected second chamber.
With the abolition of the House of Lords, we no longer need a monarch either. The 'Head of State' can be replaced with a directly elected President. All the 'pomp and ceremony' associated with Mrs Windsor can be left so the tourists can still see it, but the country will be properly governed from Parliament.
