I'd also argue about us living in a democracy,we don't we live in a dictatorship.ok we can change our leader every 4 or 5 years but its still a dictatorship.try telling the one eyed scottish idiot or his minions there wrong,i bet you don't get anywhere.
Try asking for a referendum on anything.we only got rid of the poll tax because of the riots.
a) If ballots can be fixed, as you state, that doesn't augur well for any votes on strike action, does it?

b) I think you will find it was the mass default (up to 3 million at one time) that brought about the abolition, not the riots - but I suppose if you want to rewrite history, that is your prerogative (along with Militant and the SWP).
