 nglish people believes itself to be free\; it is gravely mistaken\; it i
 s free only during election of members of parliament\; as soon as the me
 mbers are elected\, the people is enslaved\; it is nothing. In the brief
  moment of its freedom\, the English people makes such a use of that fre
 edom that it deserves to lose it.&rdquo\;</i> ~ <strong>Jean-Jacques Rou

 leaders of the French Revolution\, 1712-1778)<br /><br /><strong>&bull\;

 epresented in this election by politicians of honesty and integrity who 
 put yours and the planet's interests before theirs\, then you need do no
 thing but select between such morally upstanding indivduals.<br /><br />
 Otherwise\, if you are furious about the continued onslaught in Afghanis
 tan\, about more and more money being poured into bankers gambling debts
  while ordinary people's jobs go to the wall\, and about the complete an
 d <strong>utter silence among the party leaders on Climate Change </stro
 ng>while relying on a volcano to save the planet... <strong>then come <i
 >and join the camp!</i></strong><i><br /></i><br /><i>&ldquo\;Real chang
 e comes about not because we vote for it\, but because we fight for it\,
  shout for it\, work for it. Placing hopes and fears on who holds power\
 , or who will gain power through voting\, is wasting time which might be
  spent in creating alternatives\, both for ourselves and for our communi
 ties.&rdquo\;</i> ~ <strong>Chumbawamba</strong>\, 1987<br /><br />Can w
 e oust the bankers from power?<br />Can we get rid of the corrupt politi
 cians in their pay?<br />Can we guarantee everyone a job\, a home\, a fu
 ture?<br />Can we establish government by the people\, for the people\, 
 of the people?<br />Can we abolish all borders and be patriots for our p
 lanet?<br />Can we all live sustainably and stop climate chaos?<br />Can
  we make capitalism history?<br /><i><strong>YES WE CAN!</strong></i><br
