He's a man after my own heart. However, I don't think it will catch on. After the 1 million marched on London they went home to watch Neighbours or whatever. And the Iraq war continued. Now we are getting the same noises being made in relation to Iran. I suspect that the decline and fall of the American empire will come after my lifetime. Then it will be the Chinese empire that holds the power.

In any event, I enjoyed the programme. Much of it I already knew but it was worth being reminded that democracy does not exist. As I understand it, every revolution in history started in prison. Time prisoners got the vote.
