So you would thwart the choice of the English people?

Ah... I would like to point out that the difference between Labour and Tory is minimal so it really doesn't much matter. Heh, what a fuss over nothing.

As true today as it always was...

**King Henry V** · January 29, 2006, 07:15 AM

Oh, well, dictatorship it is then!

**Tom Paine** · January 29, 2006, 07:20 AM

Ah, no, dictatorship is a worse form of government, as it is aong "all those others which have been tried from time to time"

So, what hasn't been tried? I know, a govenrment where only the most attractive people govern.
That'll annoy Nerwen, no doubt

I don't think meritocracy has ever actually been tried has it?

Unworkable, I'm afraid unless we ban money. For a meritocracy to work all humans will have to be impartial, which I think is impossible.

We will see; I'm somewhat more optimistic on the matter of human nature than you are, it seems.

Im agreeing with Squeakus here. A meritocracy can work.

**imb39** · January 29, 2006, 08:15 AM

Meritocracy will be skewed with the presence of money. It wouldn't work. There's probably a reason why it's never been tried...

Ooops, I've just realised, I posted the same argument as KHV. Sorry!

**Tom Paine** · January 29, 2006, 08:18 AM

Bah, they said that about giving women the vote...

**King Henry V** · January 29, 2006, 08:50 AM

Oh stop being such any optimist. Everything's going to fail. We're doomed.
