To me this is the only way to change things. Scrap the shit that currently passes for government and start again.
Every aspect of government in Great Britain is either broken, corrupt or more often both.

This is NOT my piece but I wish to god I had written it. It came from here.
If the governing class govern with the consent of the governed (that's us)...
And if the governing class does not and will not govern in the way we wish...
And if as the taxpayers we own all the infrastructure...
And if enough of us approached Her Majesty...
And if enough of us were brave enough....
Couldn't we just start again?
Couldn't we, the people just set up a whole new Parliament that represented we, the people?
A whole new Parliament here in Britain - not in Brussels.
A whole new Parliament that didn't constantly create petty rules and laws.
A whole new Parliament that had common law at it's heart.
If the majority willed it, would not Her Majesty have to recognise us?
If we could get 60% of the population to vote for such a 'start again' people's Parliament compared to 35%-40% voting for a discredited anti-democratic Parliament... wouldn't our democratic supremacy have to be recognised?
Just thinking aloud.
One thing is sure - we can't keep going on like this.
The more the govern-ing think they can do what they want to us, the less we, the people are consenting to be governed. This is not a healthy road we're walking. And maybe starting again is the most sensible solution.
It could all be done very peacefully. We simply have our own elections. Let the discredited system carry on with it's Parliament and we, the people start again with our own - backed by more of the population (hopefully).
We already have a perfectly good written constitution dating from the 17th century - still on the statute books, just blatantly ignored by the current ruling class.
How about this for a start.
I was born a freeman.
All of my rights are inherent.
I promise not to harm, injure, or cause loss to anyone (the common law principles).
Beyond that, I will always remain a freeman.
Is that so radical?
Or is there some sensible humanity in that thinking?
The democratic mystery
"If Parliament becomes so disconnected from those
who send us here, its sovereignty, which has been a bastion of our
liberal interpretation of our liberty, in fact becomes the greatest
tyranny, and that what this House imposes without reference to the
public disconnects it from the public, and undermines the very
constitutional search that we have undergone to become a free and
democratic people."
