Fine thinking maggie but its never going to happen,and here you go again with your democracy rubbish.
i've told you we live in a dictatorship.
An example,take vicars and priests they are now going to be told that they will have to hold ceramonies (marriages in all but name) for homosexuals in there churches.no one consulted them about this,this government just decided to do it even though it will go against some vicars and priests faith.i suppose if the vicars or priests refuse they leave themselves open for prosecution just like the B&B lady has.
now you tell me whats democratic about that,in my opinion the said vicars and priests are being dictated to by a government that should keeps its nose out of religion.
