Here's a question. 20:43 - Jul 26 with 1120 viewsDarth_Koont

Which other countries in the world would be better off with our politicians, political system and media?

I'm going for North Korea and a bunch of countries who are 50-100 years behind us for whatever reason. Then I got absolutely nothing.

I was working out in Bhutan (of renowned happiness fame) around the time they converted from autocratic monarchy to democracy. It wasn’t an especially popular shift, and life was simpler under the former. The monarchy worked very well and was genuinely very popular.

Of course, autocracy requires an adult being in charge which often isn’t the case with the despots you get in dictatorships or pseudo-democracies. But it was certainly an eye opener. Democracy doesn’t have to be the only way.

Yeah, democracy is problematic. I think a benign dictator is the way to go.

All hail benign dictators! Harry from Bath is at a loose end now, so he should have ago. He’d be better prepared, pay more attention to detail and be less self serving than the current lot. Obviously drug scandals would need to be managed, but that hasn’t stopped anyone in the current cabinet.

Very doubtful.

It's similarly fecked up on a national level. But they've at least got heavy representation at a state and local level, which we don't.

But the power structures are different so having it fecked up at the national level is pretty bad.

See Trump's trade war for instance. Nothing the local representatives can do about that.

Overall you're probably right though, it was a bit tongue in cheek.

Haha no worries.

I think national or international politics is a bit of a joke though. None of these feckers understand global business, none of them really understand policy and very few of them will be around to see the results or non-results of their initiatives that put them in the news window for 5 seconds.

So I'm still worried about the actual representation of each individual in the UK. I just really can't see it. At least in the US, you can have a vote about your immediate environment.

"At least in the US, you can have a vote about your immediate environment." what level of representation is that? parish council? or, say, california with a population of 40 million?

They have multiple levels of representation in the US. From the state down to the city/county level.

We have local councils in the UK with little or no mandate and even less money. And our regional representation is exceptionally poor unless you can play a national card and have an assembly. But even then ...

But not sure why I'm explaining where you went completely wrong in your Cool Britannia w@nkathon.

Iran, but too obvious and on your list of "a bunch", no doubt.

Palestine? Of course they would need to be recognised as a county first I suppose.

Malta. Maybe then illegal bird trapping would be enforced properly.
