Subject: "Democratic" and "Racist" comments or claims Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2001 22:57:10 +0100 [TEXT] To Sunday Service - solving your two little confusions (or deceptions?). First - 'Democracy' Andrew really should use his classical education - to correct any fool or rogue who says that a Member of Parliament was 'democratically elected and so speaks for the people'.

1 - In a 'democracy' the people are free to choose, from amongst themselves, potential representatives. In Britain we do not have that freedom, due to a corrupt party political system whereby cliques of the powerful select candidates for both main parties. [ In UK a money threshold is also used to prevent free nominations ] 2 - In a 'democracy' the people have a free (secret) vote to elect those representatives. In Britain we do not have that freedom due to a numbered / coded ballot paper system, so that MI5 (or the local MP? or anybody with the power) can secretly check how you voted. 3 - In a 'democracy' each elected representative has an equal voice in the governing of the country. In Britain we do not have that right, due to the above mentioned corrupt party political system and first-past-the-post elections, which ensure that we are always ruled by a minority dictatorship (representing only the elite). As you can see we definitely do not live in a 'democracy' - if curious, nearest thing might be in Holland or Scandinavia.

Second - 'Race' All three of you should know that a derogatory remark, based on skin color, religion, ethnicity or nationality, and made about any large group, is necessarily a lie. And that any claim of homogenous 'nationality', 'culture' or ethnicity - "Anglo-Saxon" or otherwise - for any country, at any time in history, is also a lie. [See genes2.html#aca and causes.html#greed] In line with our fairness and accountability policy I am willing to name and shame, in print or in public, any educated person who makes such comments or claims - (especially if he is speaking from a legally-protected position). Such a person is necessarily a lying racist (and a coward).

You'll do better next Sunday - won't you?

best regards
