Why Parliament should be Dissolved

The PM is a war criminal

The PM isa dictator, breaking the seal of the Human Rights Act and trespassing onto our freedoms and fundamental rights. It should not be illegal to protest anywhere without a permit. Demonstrations are the grassroots of democracy.

The Commons sit there day after day passing new laws that both prolong the wars that Britain is involved with and destroy the infrastructure of our nation. I heard one politician say 'the market will plug the gap in policy over the NHS', meaning: we'll let the market sort out our mess.

Parliament is so corrupt that the PM will always have his way via the whipping system and ensuring that any rebels are never given the prospect of promotion. And if the PM can't win support from his own party then he seeks the support of the other. Traitor.

The election system of First Past The Post that we use in this country has proven itself flawed and relatively useless, driving us swiftly towards tyranny (see above point). We must have it replaced with a Proportional System as in Germany, that will allow the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party their right to voice an opinion and be counted for it.

Women and children are dying every day around the world because of our Parliament's selfishness and neglect.

These days you can by a chair in the House of Lords. Hardly democracy really is it.

The nation needs devolution to local districts as in France where every town, no matter how small, has its own mayor and body of counsellors, with full contact details and 24/7 accountability. A combination of French politics for local governance and German politics for high governance (organisation and distribution) would work scintillatingly well.
