Putin reelected

Alexander II was killed in St Petersburg by an anarchists bomb. His Son, Alexander III,father of Nicholas II, is reported as saying, when the culprits had been aprehended and condemned to death, "No one will dare to come to me to ask for mercy". And nobody did, except Leo Tolstoy, but everybody usually ignored him anyway.

Point is, nothing ever really changes. If anyone is looking for revolution as a result of this election they will have a long and futile wait. Protests will be permitted, for a while. But slowly and surely the ringleaders will be identified and rounded up and silenced. Russia will march forward, backward or sideways, however Putin determines, and it will all be back to business as usual tomorrow.
Exactly what ive been saying with many less words.:D;)
 
What I could never understand about Russia, since the fall of the Soviet system is this.

One minute your looky-likey Brezhnev wife is rubbing a blackened Brussel sprout around her eyes, in place of mascara, and you'd happily exchange your first born son for a pair of Levis, or a Pink Floyd album.

Literally within a couple of years, your wife's a supermodel, you're now a squillionaire oligarch, and you own more impressive array of boats than most countries navies.

How that all happen?

From bread queue to capitalist captain, in twenty four easy monthly steps.

The only problem is they would rule by the gun not the ballot box, that's why communism failed

Refusal of a referendum , Destruction of NHS , privatisation of the police , millions of cctv cameras , heavy handed police tactics at peaceful protests , already feels we are becoming under a dictatorship & then we have the interference of the EU , which may I add is a total unelected dictatorship

The EU isn't unelected at all, if I seem to remember we do vote once every fife years for people to represent use in the European Parliament, although as I've said before we would be better off out of it, as for your other points, all measures taken rightly or wrongly are by a duly elected government, elected by the people and usually those that moan the most don't actually use their vote
 
The elected MEPs don't make policy decisions.
They exist to provide the sham appearance of democracy.
They won't overturn the applecart because they know they are on a good gravy train.
 
Wrighty, with the greatest respect, you don't actually expect me to listen to this bird brain do you, if he's sane Cripin was innocent:rolleyes:

What is your problem with Farage ? , At least he is exposing the unelected EU for what it is .. a dictatorship!! Do you see Liebour or the ConDems speaking like this for the people of this country ??? didn't think so

No need for insulting people who are trying to get us out of this mess ....

I want people to get use out of this mess who are up to the job, Farage has always been a self serving own publicist who likes to hear his own voice and loves himself too much, sorry

We have 4 choices , Liebour , Cons , UKIP & BNP not much of a choice I know!

But if it means getting out of the unelected! , EU .. has to be UKIP or BNP .. can you actually see people voting BNP ?

I know Farage is a city man & the only thing going for his party atm is getting us out of the EU .. But like I have said .. Better than Liebour or Cons

Have you ever listened to him at length Wrighty, there is speaking up and speaking up though, but I certainly Agree if Labour got in again it wouldn't be worse it would be an unmitigated disaster, like it always is, especially being led by Adenoid Ed

I have watched loads of his vids on youtube where he is in the EU parliament exposing the corrupt organisation for what is .. unlike our current PM & many more mp`s who are all pro EU ..

I disagree with a few things about UKIP , especially them taking Neil Hamilton on board :mad:

The most important thing imo atm is getting out of the EU & if it means voting for someone I am not 100% with .. then so be it .

We have been sold down the river for long enough by these so called politicians .

Its ok Cameron & Co banging on about democracy in the middle east .. what about us ?

The problem with UKIP is they are a one trick pony, but getting out of Europe was made so much harder by both Blair and Brown, who both had their own self interests embedded in the decisions they took when in office, lets face it Blair always did fancy being president of Europe
