      A republic is any state not ruled by a monarch.
      A democracy could refer two things.
      1. The first one is a system of government where the ruling body consists of the Demos (the citizens). The ruling body issues decrees, etc.
      Demos means people. Cratos means "to rule". Hence DemosCratos.
      2. Democracy #2 Is an ideology (not a governing system) based on the core ideals of the governing system, also called Democracy.

      Funny you should say that. Last night I watched a video of U.S. college students being given quotes and told they were from Trump. After their reactions they were told the quotes were actually from Democrat Presidential candidates. Anyway, one of the guys said that he gets all of his information from Twitter.

      Well until the transition period ends we are still in the EU. So he could be early.

      @x Reach The Stars x oh I fully agree that we have no voice in the one year or so that we are in the EU. Basically we are in the EU in a sense that we have to abide by its rules for one year or so. Not sure about the little bitch part.

    It's weird. Jonathan Pie is to the UK what the Simpsons is to the US. The truth that no-one dares speak dressed up as comedy and satire. We need JP as PM.
    In the interests of transparency, Tom Walker can live in anonymity off the proceeds of JP. We need JP as PM.

    Me? I'd vote for Jonathan Pie over, pretty much, any other person who chose to stand for election - & certainly any 'mainstream' politician.
    Pie or Hislop - it'd be a close call.
