I'm amazed that anyone these days still thinks that they way you get political change is to march down a street. Whether red, yellow or blue is running the country I thought everyone had worked out that you either run a media organisation and promise to write nice things. Or else set up a "lobbying" company. Or else pay big money to a political party. Or maybe invite a politician to be a non executive director of your company / trade organisation. Or perhaps you go to lunch, parties and social functions with a politician who sees nothing wrong with giving access to government in such a fashion. Or else you promise someone some kind of gong like a Knighthood. Edmund Blackadder would be proud. Why these people dont understand that marching down a street just increases our police bill I don't know. Why can't they play by the rules above like everyone else ?

Ha ha ha very good.

The best thing about your suggestion is that all power is concentrated on both the rich and those who already have power. If only there was some sort of system for the rest of us to vote these people out of power!

I can't wait for Lucas and the greens to get their arses kicked out of Brighton and hove in the next elections, they are an amateurish bunch of incompetent lying tosspots only interested in furthering their national interests and making headlines, they are a political disaster for this city and the sooner we can get rid if them the better.

Aside from the Amateurish part (the others, I concede are much more professional at it) how does this differ from the other political parties?

I have experienced both labour and Tory councils and mp's in this city and whilst I am a floating swing voter myself I personally feel both are better options than the greens and Lucas and have delivered more than she ever has or will.

Fair enough but that wasn't the question I asked.

Would you care to cite examples?

I've asked the OP, but he doesn't seem to be able to answer.

So a political party leader has stood up and criticized the police, quite rightly (as the footage reveals) and there are all these other factors against her, immediately.
Obviously the police are all for the use of brutality against peaceful protestors in our 'freedom of speech democracy'.
What next, rounding up dissident oponion-voicers and dropping them out of planes over the sea?
Howabout tracking down internet users who have any adverse thing to say.

The police were not controlling a crowd of potentially violent thugs - those were young student types simply raising a voice.
They are the people in all your constituency who need a politician to speak for them at a time like that.

Now, when a fan gets barred from The Amex for responding to provocation, some people erupt like Vesuvius! Why shouldn't these peaceful protestors have their rights spoken up for against authority?
