And just who is going to be that dictator?
Cannot believe that almost 50% of all respondents would be happy with that.
But I suppose it depends on who those 8,004 adults are.

They wouldn't be. Unfortunately a lot of people will only learn the lesson the hard way, taking the rest of us into hell with them.Quote:

Surely even you can see the irony in typing 'Liebour', when your hero Boris has just been booted out by his own party for telling incessant lies!Quote:

Incessant lies? Surely he was only saying what he believed to be true.Quote:

Ultimately it makes no difference of course, just which side happens to be cheerleading it all on before they find themselves the first to be up against the wall for not being extreme enough. There are some very powerful and influential people in the world right now and they won't care how we get there, so long as their own interests are looked after. If it's easier to appeal to right wing sensibilities, they'll take that route and vice-versa.Quote:

It's definitely easier to appeal to right wing sensibilities, because they have the money and the power. They are a minority, but a minority that seem to be able to convince the majority that they really, really have their interests at heart.Quote:
