Good part of the day to all.
It is apparent that the same terms mean different things to different people. I have been labouring under the misapprehension that the meaning of the terms I use is self-evident, something that is obviously erroneous. Representative and representative democracy have different versions as does direct democracy.


However, having re-read the whole of this thread, I find I have to stand by what I have said. It is correct from my perspective. In some circumstances, I may appear to be nitpicking. This stems from a desire to make the original argument cohesive rather than to find fault.


Today, we in the UK, found out that tomorrow, a law comes into force requiring all phone calls and text messages to be recorded. By 2009 it is intended to incorporate emails and internet activity. This law was introduced by statutory instrument and required no debate in parliament but was simply nodded through.
While I cannot provide evidence, it is my belief that a majority of the UK electorate would never have voted for such a law.
Nobody asked my view. Nobody asked for the view of anybody I know. There was no consultation with anybody as far as I know.
I am unable to reconcile this with any form of representation, not even to suppose that someone believed they were representing my best interests.
Roy
