A new democracy?

Maybe, we should change the party in charge of the country every three years or so. Rotate it round the three parties. Like the European Presidency.

Or, how about the party currently in power can't stand at the next election?

Or, no more than two terms (America?) for a party.

Or, perhaps best of all, as I am just beginning to believe, proportional representation.

I strongly believe anything that prevents large majorities a la Maggie and Tony has got to be an improvement. I would rather my vote was used to maintain equilibrium and not used to sponser massive majorities that allow parties to succumb to their own prejudices and vanities.

And who would ever thought those two would end up going the same way, but it's beginning to look a distinct possibility.
