I'm starting to think all governments are the same. They get in with all these promises, soundbites, rhetoric and policy promises, and turn out to be just as crap as the previous government. I think I want Maggie Thatcher back in this country!!
I think an entire new system of governing is needed, but still a democratic system at the same time. Don't ask me what the alternative is, I don't know!
Perhaps a system that doesn't have political parties, just people from a particular locality voting in a local leader, no party political affiliations maybe?
@boba and @scotsboy, hope you don't mind me dropping in on your duel!!

You still haven't answered my question and I am beginning to think that you don't want to. You stated that you do not believe in democracy, therefore I think it is perfectly valid to ask you what form of government you would like to see in its place.
Communism? A theocracy? A monarchy? Some other form of government?

Rousseau explains that when you enter into society, you agree upon a social contract. You agree to certain terms and conditions (laws) so you can live in society.
So no matter what, you will have to live in a society, adhere to its rules, pay taxes, etc. etc. Therefore, you cannot "live your life" as you want it, no matter how much you want to. That, my friend, is called anarchy.
It's very hard to imagine anarchy as an improvement from democracy...
Speaking of democracy, i don't see why you dislike it, as it is the best system we have so far. Theocracy, Communism, socialism (even Marx denounced his own ideas before he died), monarchy, etc.etc. have not worked to this day.
Maybe we should have Plato's Republic for our government?

Yeah i agree Kim. As of now, democracy is the best bet. Or perhaps a really good and kind hearted dictator who seized power for the sake of his people! Cant there be good dictators?
