This is not a democracy



     
Progressive European Party


It is shameful to wake up in a world where a bunch of unscrupulous charlatans have taken power and are unashamedly creaming off the country's wealth into their own and their friend’s pockets, sending us all into ruination in the process.


The Progressive Party's call for Direct Democracy would end any possibility of the Citizens of this country being ripped off in this way ever again.  


There would still be elected politicians doing their job just as now however when it comes to voting on policies we would all be participating in the vote. There would, of course, be times like now with the pandemic where a government would need to use emergency powers to take control. But woe betide them if they got it wrong. They could easily be removed from power.


Sadly all we can do today is sit back and wait for four more years and hope the next lot manages better. We are no better off now than we would be if we lived in a dictatorship. This is not a democracy.
