Do we really need Parliament

What with corruption and the low esteem that the people hold politicians in I say that we ought to get rid of the lot (through the ballot box of course!) of them because they are an anachronism in the 21st century.

The word parliament comes from the French verb parle, to speak. Parliament used to be a place where one came to be heard by as many of the people as possible. In the digital age there are far superior forms of communicating to the people.

I think that we should pick a cheif executive for England by digital broadcast. A short list should be made up by nominations from the country by electronic voting. The list should be wittled down until the UK Cheif Executive is found. My choice would be Richard Branson!

Then the UKCE should just get on with it with advice from whomever, he or she, wants to get it from. I should imagine that the Civil Service would go because no-one would need to use it! The Parliament buildings become a museum.

Once we get rid of the present outdated system then I am sure that this country would be far more successful, economically, politically with less need for "war war when the jaw jaw! stops .!cool!

Your nominations for UKCE please

The main problem lies in the growth of the "professional politician"... the sort of person who becomes a politician because of what they can get out of the job, rather than what they can put into it.


As for CEO of UK plc... my nomination goes to Stephen Fry

Well, Teflon Tone certainly doesn't need parliament.

A CEO might be a dodgy idea, but if such a person was necessary, the Bob's suggestion is 50 times better than any politician.

They just need to be re-educated so that the understand that they were elected to run the country on our behalf, they should be listening to us not telling us - big difference.

I can't actually think of anyone I would nominate for the position of UKCE
