Or quite probably not. Brits were horrified, but they didn't change
their alignment on any issue in an instant.

You mean "Should new schools be funded by the taxpayer?". Y'see, it
all depends on how you word it.

Another decision folks should be trusted to make themselves, given

Or more to the point a general consensus on the issue.

That bloody well went over your head then, didn't it? It's a big issue
with voters, but not with politicians. Most of Europe would probably
vote for the death penalty, at the right time. There are plenty of
studies you can read on the subject.

That's a different question entirely. Almost everyone agrees
that's where the funding should come from. Not everyone agrees
that they should actually pass such a tax.

actually get.

Obviously you assumed that what I was suggesting involved the instant
reaction to every shock that fell upon the populace. It was definitely
not.

"use google"???

You could use that as a comeback to any line of reasoning!

Back to the subject, just how many Brits changed their view on
anything political on July 7, 2005?

It seems to me that you are posing a different question here, namely
the way that taxes are collected.

A better one than a vote every couple of years. That's what I'm
saying.

Well I suggest you try to be clearer about what you mean the next time-
you're venting a lot- why not explain exactly what your little bit of
democracy exactly is, and that way I can avoid trying to guess what the
hell it is that you actually mean?

Simply put, I think opinion polls should have a bigger effect on
political decisions. The mechanics for how this should be employed
would be up for debate, and so no, I don't wish to offered a detailed
solution. I just want to see that politicians can be rattled by the
populace more easily.

Ummm... is that clear?
