Benevolent dictatorship.
Or at least some sort of test to see that people understand the system they're using.

I used to love it when dickheads would bang on about Gordon Brown being an 'unelected Prime Minister'.

Unelected by everyone outside his constituency, as was Tony Blair, David Cameron, Thatcher...do people not know that you vote for your local MP? Do they turn up at the polling stations, see that the party leaders aren't listed and say to the returning officer "excuse me, I, I think there must be some mistake with the mechanism of democracy on offer here, I wanted to vote for David Cameron, but his name isn't on the ballot paper?".

Do they fuck, the thick shits. If you haven't learned to drive a car you shouldn't get behind the wheel. If you don't understand the concept of party based representative democracy then you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

And I do not believe at all in referendums.

With this I agree.
Though I still am inclined to agree with Universal suffrage, I wish people wouldn't be so ignorant of the Parliamentary system.

A simple test, no harder than a driving theory test should be sufficient.
