Democracy Lesson from the North East Assembly

Part time champion of democracy, Neil Herron, gives us a democracy lesson courtesy of the North East Assembly.

According to Chris Foote-Wood of the North East Assembly, unelected means the same as indirectly-elected. As Neil points out, the Assembly members are appointed and not elected at all.

The North East Assembly still continues to go about its business despite being rejected by 78% off the North East in the referendum last year and stands as a symbol of the undemocratic sham government headed up by Traitor Blair and John "Crazy Frog" Prescott.

Not even Labour's carefully redrawn constituency boundaries could have turned the 78% no vote into a legitimate yes vote.
