We don't need your democracy. Execute them kindly for me.

We don't need your hypocrisy,
Execute real democracy.
Post-industrial society,
The unthinking majority.
- Serj Tankian

I'm growing tired of this thing we call democracy, western democracy is fundamentally borked. This can be see especially in the current events that took place in Parliament a week or so back.

Rex Murphy's take on the situation can be seen here.

I agree with what he has to say about the situation, over recent years the people in Parliament have been acting like children and this has to end. I think an overhaul of the whole system is needed: fire all the officials in the government and hire/elect new ones, keeping some on as advisers until the transition is complete. I know this would never work but I can't see any other way of keeping the current system. Not that its the greatest system out there.

I would ally my self with more of a socialist type style of government, not that I would ever vote for the NDP. Something like what some of the Scandinavian socialist countries have is what I think could work for this country. But for the time being, grow up you fools. You weren't elected so suck it up and do your job with out trying to break the system more than it already is.

I'm with you man. It seems like nothing more than a desperate move to get their way when the most people didn't want them in power. I can imagine a Stephane Dion infant stomping his foot shouting "no!" because Stephen Harper has the nice toy. So he teams up with infant Jack Layton and weird introverted Gilles Duceppe, who doesn't want anything to do with the three, to beat up Stephen and take his toy.

It would be nice to start over in Parliament, I just wonder if I'm too cynical in thinking that it will simply repeat itself because it's not the people that act that way but their ideology which pushes them in that direction. Maybe I'm wrong.

Props on the Serj quote too.
