so citizens.
petition with a direct threat of
next election we will vote for the other guy
I don't think this works, though. If you need a majority to win an election, the problem is that the majority don't vote for the candidate who supports the people's best interests... they vote for whoever the elitist candidate is... in the UK at least. A few media scare story headlines about communists etc is enough to do it. People vote for whom they're told to vote for.petition with a direct threat of
next election we will vote for the other guy
in the UK its never needing say 25mill votes out of 40million voters to win
its usually only needs a difference of like 500 per town to swing a district/burough
a well orchestrated attempt to use local MP's vs each towns populus makes it easier to push them
the secret it not to petition 'government' because ministers are not elected. they are selected by their peers after an election.
but separately the citizen vote of who's in parliament(separate from government) is the MP thing.
and you cant be a government minister if your not a MP
so to attack the inner level of government. aim for the arms and legs of parliaments MP's
..
but other aspects are if you are not sure if a election swing threat will work. remember that elitist businesses love to sue 'government'
so people should learn to sue too. even as far as slapp lawsuits(empty lawsuits done just to annoy, cause stress and waste time, done to keep someone wrapped in lawsuits until they give in. give up. settle up)
