The outpourings of a deranged mind

The democratic process

Today I was shown that the democratic process does work. As we all know it’s based on the fundamentals of one man, one vote. I, however, technically (although not legally) had two votes. Even the government knows I’m special :) God knows how it’s happened but I’ve been put on the electoral register twice, I got two voting cards, two voting numbers and, unlike possibly everyone else in the country, got to choose which me was going to vote.

And people wonder how I got such a huge god complex :D

As to who I voted for I’ll not say, but I was rather tempted to add a new box and put Ken down and vote for him. Waste of a vote, I know, but I don’t think any of the other idiots on offer were much of a choice either. In the end I went for my usual lot because… well… it’s what I always vote now Monster Raving Loony is no longer an option.

    I think the “one man, one vote” idea might have rather had it’s day - at least in the eyes of Ebagum.

    I’m inclined to think “putting Ken down” would be one of the greatest gifts you could give to the country right now, would be uncharacteristically benevolent of you…

    Hmm… so the democratic process is working at it’s best when you get more say than everybody else.

    Dom, the thought of a world with you as sole dictator scares me! Even more so than waking up with Boris as mayor tomorrow! ;-)

    The world would be much simpler if this were a dictatorship… just as long as I’m the dictator

    It’s funny really, everyone who thinks about it recoils in horror at the thought of me being anywhere near anything remotely shaped like a seat of power. I can’t think why, I mean, provided you’re a fine, upstanding member of society who follows the rules, doesn’t annoy me and isn’t what I consider to be a drain on society, waste of space or simply superfluous to requirements there is every likelihood that you would last years before getting shot by one of my secret police death squads :D

    See - even hiding away to avoid your wrath would eventualy lead to death by shooting!

    It sounds better than death by taxes. The red is dead, long live the clown?

    See - you leave people in charge of voting and look what happens. There’s now an idiot in charge of London. Hell, maybe I could get into power after all… :D
