My other weekly read, aside from the Galaxy's greatest comic (natch), is Take A Break magazine. Now they're having a campaign to change Britain for the better by getting their readers elected to parliament as members of the Take A Break Mums Army Party. They've decided the policies and now have their readers try to get them into reality to bring Britian more into line with the world as they want it. They had a photo spread of their potential candidates and nearly all of them looked like they'd been designed by Ron Smith, which made me think...
If Tharg mobilised us into an electoral force to be reckoned with what policies would we pursue?

The Police to be allowed to sentence criminals without the need for 'The justice system' or courts.
The government to be allowed to send over a force of men to destroy any nation that even thinks to attack us.
Hmmm.
Vote 2000AD, Vote New Labour.

"The introduction of the knee pad in fashion."
I wore kneepads for fashion to a club 10 years ago.
And it wasn't a rave/dance thing either.

If it was a fight club then I suspect you weren't really entering into the spirit of the event.

Well if you saw Richard and Judy today you'd know (Richard - If this is Mums Army, and you're in your 80's that makes you the Private Godfrey figure, yes?)
They're basically proposing laws that would crack down on the problems that come from lawless kids and minor crimes being ignored. Pretty fair and sensible, albeit doomed.

One old dear when off on one about 'money being the route of all evil' but then rather cleverly went on to say it was all down to the destruction of the industrial heartland... which prompted Richard to change the subject rather rapidly

Its not quite the same but I'm a player in a very fun political simulation online forum game at http://www.politicsuk.net/forum. Its currently at 2001 and because of the mistakes and cock ups of Labour and the Conservatives the (neo-)Liberal Democrats are a minority Government. Its extremely fun and if you want to play as Labour then you'll quickly claim the ranks as they have hardly any players.
