Hi All, we should have a referendum on most topics as this is supposed to be a democracy, not a fascist state.
My suggestion is that all benefits are cancelled being replaced by a living wage for all from age 16 for life.
This would save lots of mon…
Hi Philip
The large majority in the country against replacing Trident is a co-alition. Towards one end are those opposed to nuclear weapons and perhaps right at that end are those who believe these are immoral and illegal. Those opposed include tho…
The security of the british people is not assured by mid 20th century nuclear weapons. we need a new approach to security and to 'defence' linked to a new enlightened foreign policy.
I am extremely concerned that you have included the question 'Can Britain rely on a friendly Superpower to provide any necessary nuclear deterrent?'.
This implies that a so called 'nuclear deterrent' is 'necessary'. This is not the way to free the…
I agree, and we should join the Green Party to have proportional representaion amongst other things

Hi John
Thanks very much for this. Alongside campaigning today for people to join in this referendum, I’ve been raising the oppression in Burma. With our own long democratic history, it is not on there’s so little left. But is it all the politician…
Fantastic idea. I hope someone who can make decisions is aware of these results. Why are you not running the country instead of the self gratifying bunch in the Commons? There is no democracy!!

Why I created this unique site
You can sign a petition or statement, write to the papers or your MP, but you can't respond to a Government consultation on Trident. Why? Because they refuse to hold one. And you can't cast your vote on replacing Trident at the polling station either.
I believe it's my right and the right of every British Citizen to have a say on replacing Trident. So determined am I to vote on the related issues that I set up this independent site (not part of any organisation) just to do so. Gordon Brown talked at his party conference about making all those who wield political power genuinely accountable to the people. See the new poll on this and another on costing trident.

POLL RESULTS
Three of the polls on this site produced such overwhelming votes that I was ready to call them by: (1) and (2) - end September, and (3) - Mid-October:
Poll (1) - DEMOCRACY
● 97% say they have the democratic right to be consulted on issues as big as Trident, whatever politicians or judges think (2% disagreed, 1% undecided).
Poll (2) - GOVERNMENT COMPETENCE ON PROCURING TRIDENT
● 94% disagreed and 6% were undecided on this statement in the wake of the MoD procurement fiasco: If a Trident replacement is approved, Government can be trusted to get it within the originally estimated cost and delivered on time.
Poll (3) - AFFORDABILITY AND PRIORITY
● 94% agreed that we cannot afford Trident replacement: Government should instead offset the expected coming cuts in services or invest in things of real public benefit (4% disagreed, 2% undecided).
