UK goverment & law is becoming a dictatorship?

Question

Do you agree or disagree?

Answer 1

The same thing is happening in America, dude.

Answer 2

Totally disagree.      Try living in Saudi or Zimbabwe.

Answer 3

Margaret Thatcher once described government in UK as an 'elective dictatorship'.

In other words, we the people elect our own dictators.

Put simply, all political parties write and publish a 'manifesto', in which they outline their plans for the future of UK which they intend to follow once elected.

Of course we all know that promise seldom leads to solid action.

I usually listen to what politicians say and then scatter a handful of salt all over it, because I know from experience [now aged 67] that what politicians may want for the people cannot always be achieved - especially when it comes to trying to get money out of the UK Treasury for some pet scheme or other.  Rather like trying to get blood out of a stone.

And yes, the answer is no.  We do not live in a dictatorship but our politicians behave as though we do.

Someone once described democracy as "the dictatorship of the masses" - I mean, where is all of this leading to?  Well, at least we get a vote and must content ourselves with that.

Answer 4

You have only just noticed - of course it is - they dictate everything with out a care in the world for the public - as long as it fits their agenda - that's OK.

All a bunch of two faced lying hypocrites

Answer 5

The US goverments is now requiring that all of it's citizens who fly abroard have a passport well thats all fine and dandy except ALL PASSPORTS NOW HAVE LITTLE TINY CHIPS INSTALLED IN THEM THAT ARE USED AS TRACKING DEVICES AND STORED IN DATABASES. The goverment says the chips are necessary for security purposes BUT that seems to be their excuse for everything nowadays.

Answer 6

I disagree, if you lived in a real dictatrship like those in Africa you would quickly realise that the UK is far from becoming a dictatorship.

Gordon Brown will have to call an election sometime in the first half of 2010.

Answer 7

The 'government' are appeasers to the corporate lobbies and thats where the 'law' comes from,the 10% who own the world.

Answer 8

No I don't agree.  I think they are too soft.

Answer 9

Of course it's a dictatorship. They're trying to make us eat what they want, drink what they want, drive what they want, watch what they want, the list is endless.

We're now the most spied upon nation on earth and people can be locked up without charge on no evidence for 42 days.

Answer 10

Well lets put it this way, i wouldn't call it a democracy as they would have us believe, look at the invasion of Iraq they lied and overrode everyone to invade that country regardless of what the voters wanted :)
