Re:The UK is a parliamentary dictatorship (Score 1)

If you really want to be frightened read up on how close we came to losing the rights granted to us by Magna Carta. The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill, passed with amendments that put in place safeguards, was a bill that had it passed as it stood, would have given Ministers the ability to alter any law passed by Parliament. The only limitations being that new crimes could not be created if the penalty was greater than two years in prison and that it could not increase taxation. We came within a whisker of Fascism in the UK... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative_and_Regul atory_Reform_Act_2006 http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/ cmbills/111/06111.1-4.html http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnist s/guest_contributors/article733022.ece http://www.saveparliament.org.uk/index.php This is real - they tried it once they will try it again...
