I am inclined to agree with your earlier comments about the civil service.
Party politics is really only about the direction of society, the civil service implements this after advising the parties what is achievable within the existing framework.

There is an interesting article in the current Economist on "direct democracy" and where it can lead (California). Equally there are places like Switzerland that are successful in ruling by committees of the people.

No, you're wrong:
I am apparently some kind of imbecile because I can see through the hot air and flash that constitutes democratic politics and has done since the C5th BC.

It's true Monty
you alone are the one who has realised the participation in politics is a waste of time. If only everybody thought like you eh, if only.

We'd a be a massive shower of washed up cunts with fucked up personal lives.

Wow, I really should get involved.

Can we do religion now?
I'd like to hear your cretinous ramblings on monotheistic societies.

Sure: organised religion is bad news and for cunts.
