In 2006, it became public knowledge, that Britain's SS(secret services) helped the IRA organize 'human bomb' attacks, in a tactic involving, forcing civilians, to drive car bombs into British army checkpoints with devastating consequence.

First of all i would like to introduce a misson as to what direct democracy would like to achieve: What is direct democracy? Direct democracy is a form of democracy in which the people have the right to: Select their own candidates to represent them. Call a referendum on any topic if a sufficient number of people deem it necessary, by gathering a set number of signatures. Create legislation and put it to a referendum if a sufficient number of people agree with it, by gathering a set number of signatures. Recall, remove from office, any representative deemed to have acted in breach of their terms of employment. read full story / add a comment
