Monbiot the hero

I have to say that it’s a very good idea to read the above link. George Monbiot’s column is an excellent reposte to a power-hungry leech who isn’t interested in serving her country – she’s only interested in making sure she’s got enough money in the bank and slavishly following the whims of the power-mad NuLabour government.

I read a book once (fiction) which had a system of government which I like the idea of.

It went something like this.

“When you accede to the role of minister, prime minister, etc all of your assets and bank accounts are placed in a central governmental account. If you do well and the country makes money then you get a profit on your deposit – if the country did badly, then you’ve only got your self to blame.

Not sure it would work in the real world but the idea of David “just call me Dave” Cameron being homeless because he couldn’t get the country running well strikes me as funny
