Political Culture
Being, as were are, in the great age of legislation on the basis of popular demand is it not about time that all politicians were banned? They are clearly not popular and many see them as not contributing very much to society as a whole. They are also extremely dangerous, as every right minded person knows. Unsupecting members of the public have had them go off in their hands and every now and again one of them goes on the rampage.
Political Culture in this country has been allowed to spread too far. From the countryside to our inner cities, everyone has been (or knows someone who has been) touched by a political calamity. The Liberati might argue that minority interests should be protected in a modern democracy but these intelligencia do not live in the real world like the rest of us do.
We’ve lived under this blight for far too long now. It’s about time we put an end to it, before the culture spreads too far.

Of course an outright ban would have to be preceeded by an amnesty but does anyone really believe that such an amnesty would yeild anything other than buckets full of old, worn out trophy politicians or perhaps a few blank firers? Sure, the press would call it a great success but some are already calling for the press to be banned too; can we really trust their judgement given that a healthy and spreading Poitical Culture is so clearly in their interests?
The answer lies in harsh penalties for offenders. After the short amnesty period any individual caught in illegal posession of a politician should be interned for a minimum of five years, regardless of the calibre; local coucilor, backbencher or cabinate minister – it makes no difference. Each and every one of them is capable of being lethal.
