No Heathrow vote.

Another example of the lack of democracy here in the UK

As anticipated, the decision to expand Heathrow has been forced through by the PM and Cabinet alone without the consent of Parliament. Our Crapocracy is such that the People were not even allowed to choose those who made this decision, the PM and Cabinet. So it is not just foreign policy which the People are not allowed to decide but also certain home issues too. Is it any wonder that so many people decide it is not worth voting at our elections, about a third of the electorate or more?

Look at the Indymedia list of 'demos' about overseas events. What about here?

The way forward, ballot box, or Direct Action?

If voting changed anything, they would make it illegal.

Look to previous struggles, ie Ireland, other countries with British Colonial Rule. Nothing achieved by the electoral system, other methods needed.
