I must admit that my dream job as a young boy was to be prime minster, i had found it to be a great job. Then came Tony (insert rude work) Blair and at the time if i could vote it would of been him he was flash and being promoted as the best Pm there would ever be. How they were wrong.
For those of you that don't know about Tony Blair's reign it is not one of the will of the people (well least not the native english) to Tony its one in which he is the King and answer to no one except to his god (EU & America) hence why were the only EU contry to do every single thing they say and were dragged kicking and screaming in to illegal wars, all so Mr Blair can ascend to the higher plain of political existence.
Anyway to my main point were i work i see and met ALOT of average jo people, living out there lives. It seems to me that no one whats this government any more in fact some people are very VERY angry about this government and so they should be.
The whole democratic process is fundamentally flawed the rules that are implied to control governments abuse of power are the very rules that the government make, create chop and edit. We need rules cast in stone that no man can ever change, i would say written in blood but due to the fact of those poor souls who die in wars fighting for us, Only for the freedom they fought for to be taken from us by the government. Even blood has no value.
From there on we should use the technology of we have to make the government and the people communicate. When was the last time you saw Tony Blair speck to the people other than at election time. Personaly i don't see the harm in in there being a weekly phone in show where the Government HAVE to answer the question put forward by the public who (ring live). If they knew they had to go through that ever week they might change thing so people won't give them such a hard time. Then maybe there would never be such unrest and corruption in the world!
So my question to you is...........How do you start a revolution (i would say protest but there banned!) so were can place a new form of people's government

Having a written constitution would help. It doesn't quite make rules written in blood, but it does require a two thirds majority to change, so the Govt would have to be pretty serious and unanimous to change it.
I like your idea of a phone in.
I'm a revolutionary socialist. I believe change will come as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer: there will be so many more of us than them , that political change will become not inevitable, but certainly a whole lot easier. They key to this is education, and ensuring that people don't reject the idea of politics just because of a few crap politicians!
