The government of this fair isle have recently gained much publicity from their recent attempts to reconnect with the British public through the medium of petition. On the surface, this initiative appears to be an open and unmoderated way of expressing one's views - the government have recently been embarrassed by mere trifles such as the million-strong petition against their road charging schemes - however it would appear that, when presented with true, actual, dissent, the tyranny of the foolish mob returns with force.
Indeed, I myself put forward a sane and reasonable petition. My plan was quite straightforward. Considering that this country had been governed by nincompoops for hundreds of years, the only reasonble way to progress would be to reset our laws and customs back to a time when we were governed by a righteous and able monarch. After all, if the Charter of Liberties of Henry I was good enough to be the foundation of Magna Carta and various other Medieval Challenges to tyranny, what better way to fight the tyrannical laws of Blair and Brown? Indeed I fear they know this already which is why, though they right my petition off as 'humerous', they well know the harm which could be done to them from the universal truth it contains.
Where is my representation in this representative democracy?
