The queen cannot dissolve the parliamentary system, that would mean devolving our system of government by about 300 years, not something that could be done overnight, and to be honest going back to a system of feudal overlords or law by common consent is not my idea of a utopia.
I doubt you will see a return to the system of feudal overlords, which this country once had, as it is this that is still hanging about and is causing a lot of the problems we are encountering today. The politicians are coming up with desperate policies to prop up a system that is dying on its feet. As a system of government, it is unsustainable and it will collapse. The writing is on the wall for political parties and they know it. We have come through what is known as the Age of Pisces, during which people looked to a patriarchal state to look after and make decisions for them. Unfortunately, it gave rise to despots and dictators. We are now in the Age of Aquarius during which mankind will evolve to take responsibility for its own actions and, yes, existing systems of government will change and new ones will evolve. People have not had the fire in their bellies to bring about change until now and, whether we like it or not, change will come. Trying to cling on to what has gone before is futile because mankind goes through cyclic changes every so often. The old order breaks down and a new one takes its place. It may sound utopian, but change is coming whether we - mankind - like it or not and by accepting change, rather than fighting against it, the transition will be less traumatic and disruptive when it does finally come.

BB - Are you being serious above?

Surely this has got to be absolute twaddle. I thought initially it might at least be linked to Brian Gerrish, David Icke - esque type stuff, but this really is taking the wee wee. In any case, if it's gong to take up to 2129 years to bring about this change, I don't think it will affect any of us on here much. I'm not ashamed to confess I'll be drawing my pension by then!

The whole thing is based on the Mayan calendar, which, if I'm not mistaken, said the world was going to come to an end not long ago. Surely it lost just a little bit of its credibility then?

My mother was a fortune teller, & my father was a contortionist.

I can foresee my own end. (not a pretty sight, I can tell you!) :eek2:

Strange that; my midget grandfather was a psychic, he did time for a crime once but escaped from prison.

He was a small medium at large!

I guess he must be pleased to be free.

Well, if I see him, I'll hit him!

(I always like to strike a happy medium!!) :tung:

If you look at it logically, LM, you have unrest in the Middle East where despots and dictators have been overthrown, albeit with some assistance from the West. Change is taking place. However, it is the "It'll never change" attitude that is the most damning. If people keep thinking that, things will not change and the likes of Marston, Capita, SERCO, G4S and all the other firms that bleed the taxpayer and debtors dry will continue to get away with it. I'm not having a go at you personally, but a negative "It'll never change" attitude does not help.

It helps if your glass is half full.

What is certain is the Djinn is uncorked, and it will not be pushed back into the bottle. Technology and modern communication ensures that eventually these despot corporates like Serco G4S, Crapita, will be overcome.

Absolutely, BB. I went to a meeting of the Time Bank where I live and from what was being said at the meeting, it is pretty clear that people know that politicians have, over the last 30 years, been doing everything to smash communities apart, break social cohesion and have everyone at each other's throats, figuratively speaking. It is not going to work because the mood of feeling at the meeting clearly shows people have fire in their bellies and are hungry for change to put the politicians firmly in their place and make them do as the people tell them to do, not what vested interests want, and to re-build communities and restore social cohesion.

To overturn this corrupt political system we have would need the support of a very large section of the population and the monetary support of a foreign power together with the army,Problem Countries like the UK are run by the money men in their tight little club,the army is controlled by ex eton/Oxbridge boys from the same background as the politicians we despise>until there is a change in the voting system and a time limit of how long anyone can be elected it will remain as it is.One observation I make is that all those with few exceptions are from the same public school Oxbridge posh boy moneyed group little wonder the country is in such a state

Must admit BB it did maker me chuckle. The bit about this generation having"fire in their belly" tipped me over.
This generation have the least of the commodity of any since the war, all they aspire to is apathy, most couldn't even tell you where the houses of parliament was, unless it was on u-tube

You are not alone, Wales. You would be surprised just how many people have noticed it. The Eton/Oxbridge element is a throwback to the days of the feudal barons and the inability of the Eton/Oxbridge crowd to accept that they do not have a god-given right to govern and people are, quite rightly, sick to the back teeth of being ripped off by this free-loading, scrounging cadre of parasites. From the mood of the meeting I went to this morning and other similar meetings I have attended, the Eton/Oxbridge lot are going to be in for a big shock and because most of them go around with a digit inserted into a certain bodily orifice 99.9% of the time, figuratively-speaking, they ain't going to know what's hit them when it does.

I have often heard rumblings that changes, similar to those in the Middle East, where despots and dictators have been brought down, will happen in the West. They won't be anywhere near as violent, if at all, as those in the Middle East, but it is reckoned that it will start in either one of the US states - Vermont seems to be singled out for some reason - or the United Kingdom. I'll put money on the changes starting in the UK and then the ripple effect spreading across Europe and the Atlantic. It may be that changes. where the USA is concerned, start in Vermont and spread to other US states.

The "Peasants" are sick and tired of having austerity rammed down their throats and up their arses by the ConDems, whilst the Union Robber Barons bankroll Labour, add banksters payrises and bonus, benefit cuts and greedy utility companies, the pips have squeaked and something will give bigsstyle soon very soon!

You've certainly hit the nail on the head were apathy is concerned, Andy, because that is the problem with this country. Apathy and the "Things will never change" mindset. I have noticed, over the years, that mankind goes through changes every so often and the unrest in the Middle East is part of the changes mankind is going through at the moment. You may laugh now, but despots and dictators are being pulled down off their pedestals or having their ivory towers pulled down from under them. Thatcher was often considered a dictator and, to be honest, so was Blair, Brown and, now, Cabbage Patch Doll Cameron. Change won't happen overnight, Andy, but it is happening whether we like it or not.

Exactly, BB. I keep getting this picture in my head of Boy George Osborne being pulled out of his ministerial car in Whitehall by an angry mob and being given the hiding of his life. History has shown that despots and dictators usually meet a violent end. I hope that picture never becomes a reality, but, if it does, history will have shown itself to be true to form.
