Yeah, me too... In fact I have thought of a party that was in fact the 'Dictatorship Party'. Where the country becoems a dictatorship but with elections along the lines of "Should we stay in the EU?". Those kind of thing people do in general want to vote for, but the parliamentary elections are getting more more boring, so people don't go. Besides the parties are so bland and voterseeking that eiehr they don't move at all, or they move all over the place in order to gobble up the last few votes. Too much media-suckup. Bah!

As long as the government doen't infringe too much on our lives, and in general provide well for us we don't care it seems... So why not have a stable and secure government. One where the dictator would work for the state rather than for himself, where people could speak freely and no censorship. Problem is just such governments will not happen, and if it did it would devolve into an oppressive system quite soon.

So we have to stick with the second best, democracy, with all it failings.
