    Anon (1) ta also. Re teaching, I fear it is a long process........

    Anon (2) Ah but if we had referenda and the right to instigate and control the re-call system (rather than govt deciding whether we did)no govt would last 5 minutes as we then just do a mass recall resulting in one dead govt!
