This is the biggest weakness in Democracy

• Democracy

A system of selecting a Government by asking the populations adult citizens to pick their personal preference. The Party with the majority of the votes cast gains control of the country for at least a period of 4 years when the whole process is repeated...sounds great eh? except it isn't really when you think about it. This so-called "Democracy=Freedom+Superiority" ideology, that Great Britain and the USA arrogantly force other "evil" countries to adopt, is on it's last legs and needs to be shot in the face and buried...We need a change.

Why does nobody ever trust the Government, it's Leader and all it's members at all?

What has instilled this contempt and total mistrust in, what is current, the vast majority of the democratic world?

The key to winning a democratic election is simple; being the most popular. It's basically the most elaborate, expensive, devious and treacherous popularity contest ever concieved by mankind. It's the original and the cruelest reality tv show in existence. It's a political version of the pro wrestling contest known as The Royal Rumble, no friends, no allies, anything goes and you win by any means necessary...the last man standing at the end takes the prize and the glory.

This is where the problem lies. Human beings crave popularity, we love being the one who is most loved, most sought after and effortlessly getting peoples attention without having to try. Look at myspace for example, it's made each and everyone of us obsessed with having more "virtual reality" friends on our list than all of our "actual reality" friends...I bet you've all asked your mates "How many friends have you got?" and if their total is less than yours you genuinely feel a little bit superior and oh so very smug...why? what does it actually mean? how will it alter or influence yours on anyone else life? what is it that makes you feel so happy about it?...it's the feeling of being the most popular person. This website is methadone for ADHD sufferers...but all you care about is being the most popular...even though this means you'll attempt to "add" anyone and everyone without any reason, emotion or thought that goes beyond "Must add more people, increase my friends total, bigger number make happy me inside"

If it meant beating the number boasted by the only one of your friends that was ahead of you...Would you accept an add from Ian Huntley?...whatever the answer was...you had to think for second didn't you?

This soul-less attitude and mercenary behaviour is exactly the way a campaigning politician feels about you, you're a "friend" on thier extended network and they are "requesting" you to "add" them. Niether of us know or even care who this person...we just want them to think we care...once the request/vote has been accepted/cast your attention in them is gone forever.

Democracy was supposed to be a way to get the politicians to work and serve the public and allow us to decide whom we feel is the best person for the job. In reality that's not the case is it? We don;t decide which of the candidates is the best...they just say all the right things in order make us think they are the best...the winner is the one who gave the most convincing performances and fooled the most people...this is why The Tory Party and The Labour party are virtually identical to each other, they're both full of shit but we have to decide whose shit smells worst.

The perverse paradox in letting the majority choose the candidate is the fact that popularity and excellence cannot go together, you can be one or the other but not both...Here's my evidence to prove the point...

The following is a list of various products/services with the publics most popular brand/version written underneath. Are any of these choices the best?

Most popular restaurant

Mcdonalds. 35,000 restaurants in 119 countries. Takes $19 billion anually.

Most popular Car

Toyota corolla. 35 million sold to date.

Most popular song

Bing Crosby: White Christmas. over 50 million copies sold.

Most popular TV show

Baywatch. shown in 110 countries. 2.3 Billion viewers.

Most popular designer label

Burberry...no i'm not kidding...Burberry.

Most popular drug

Caffeine. Legal and therefore harmless yes? No, this drug so strong as little as10g can kill a human. In tests mice have been injected with huge amounts of caffeine and then exposed to a level of radiation produced by a nuclear bomb...this mice all lived!

Most popular websites in each country

UK: 1-Facebook. Highest Pornsite-17 Megarotica

USA: 1-Myspace. Highest Pornsite-16 Megarotica

Iran: 1 Blogfa. Highest Pornsite- None listed in top 100

Denmark has the Highest Pornsite ranking-12 Megarotica

Globally Yahoo! gets most hits. Google is 2. YouTube 3. There are 5 social network sites in top 10. Megarotic is 37. Youporn 43. In the top 500 there are no websites about, created by or covering any form of Religion...not one site.

Most popular book

The Bible. Nearly 1,900 since it went on sale. 6 billion in circulation, that's roughly 1 for every person alive today. There are enough atheists currently in the world to outnumber the followers of every single religion...Those Bibles don't seem to have helped.

The bottom line is that history and these statistics prove that the most popular decision is never the right one. Democracy needs to change and stop this happening...how?...easy, the party with the least votes cast is clearly the best qualified to takeover...so the real winners of the 2005 General Election of Great Britain, seats won;0 seat %: 0 net gain: 0 net loss: 0 votes %: 0.000000001% recieveing 502 votes...um...the...huh?...righty dokey...

The UK Community Issues Party...You know...Oh you do you silly thing, anyway they are the rightful hiers to 10 D. street and possibly the best leaders we've never seen in our lives....

All the best Richard Coughlan
