    I gave you an example of a compromise that works. This is a compromise too.

    UK chose it’s government democratically, didn’t they? Hence what it does is the closest approximation to the will of people. I’m speaking for them. We want people to self organise to collectively fight against the oppression and that’s what happened.

    I’m glad there are little guys fighting the good fight for the tobacco industry, must be fun.

      Not really, a system that employs first past the post and a house of fucking lords that is based on blood lines is it really the closest approximation of the will of the people?

      I couldn’t care less about the tobacco industry I’m arguing for the peoples right to choose what they do with their own bodies, there is a big difference but cool. Have a good day :)

        First past the post is a system that has many faults but also benefits like continuity of policies and less deadlocks. I don’t think it’s a good system but it is democratic and won’t prevent a eventual change that people want, see the currently ongoing change in French politics for example.

        I think there are better uses of your freedom than advocating that people should be free to be scammed by big corporations because that doesn’t sound like freedom at all. They’d be more free if they didn’t waste money on a pointless drug. They could even purchase more useful drugs with that money.
