Thats right.Then where's your democracy for the next 4 or 5 years until you get to put your piece of paper in the big tin box again.Are you gonna be consulted on anything the new government want to do in this time,will we be offered a referendum on anything i doubt it.we will be told to like it or lump it just like we always have in other words dictated to.
governments love people like you just lie back and take it there a good boy or girl or whatever. |
i don't like the government we have at the moment any more than you appear to ,but that doesn't make it a dictatorship ,when we have a general election we vote on the party of choices' policies as they set them out for the next term of office if we don't like them we don't vote for them ,we get a choice we also get a choice every time the local elections come around we also get a choice to lobby our local MP's and he will ask a question on our behalf in the commons .As for referendums ,well,you can't have one every time the government wants to make a decision ,nothing would ever get done

see what i mean its always a few making the rules for the many.what sort of a democracy is that.
And as for the bishops you mentioned they want to try living in the real world instead of living in there ivory towers.
I know quite a few people who attend church and they are against gay marriages in church and they think vicars should not be put in this position.I even know of devout christians who have left the c of e and become catholic because of gay vicars and bishops.

then the people who have left the c of e because they object to gay vicas and civil partnerships don't deserve to be a member of any church and the c of e is better without them
and they probably have asked the "indians" what they think and the majority of the "indians" have said they approve of gay vicas and civil partnerships
