The Myth of the Third Party Solution

[Silas Stingy]

Truth is, we can't expect the American people to make intelligent choices about our politicians ....

Your sentence probably should have stopped there ... let's be fair you guys over the pond aren't the brightest lot, what on earth is wrong with your schools over there, this is something i'm very worried about.
I won't resort to america bashing because that would be way to easy and i honestly feel you guys don't deserve that but i do think you should get your act together a bit more because i'm seeing a country in moral and financial decay and going downhill fast.

There is an old saying, something about people who live in glass houses and stones...

Every country of the so-called Western Democracy variety has the same problem: the vast majority, or working-class, do not control their government and its agencies such as the military, police, and judicial system. The rich control all of it despite mock general elections for leaders every few years. It's not a matter of intelligence of the population that determines what idiotic things happen in one country of another, it is the will of the relatively few elite. Everyone is programmed from birth to obey and accept the status quo, including and especially those who do not benefit from it, namely common folks. That's hard to beat, and, I doubt your country has on the scale necessary to make fundamental changes that would make it very different than the United States.
