[quote user="Richard51"][quote user="Dog"]Russethouse has a short memory/history as at one time only home owners could vote - not a bad idea really. My eldest stepson suggested today that there should be an IQ test before people can vote. [/quote]

What was it Churchill said: The greatest argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.  So very true!
[/quote]

Because Churchill said it does not mean its right. Did he not allegedly say to a lady who called him a drunk, that she was ugly, and in the morning he would be sober?  Thing was he was ugly and drunk and in the morning he was still ugly.

So don't hold on every thing he says.

I dont think that was Churchill.

Think it might have been Oscar Wilde.

Same difference of course.

No, it was Churchill......

To Liverpool socialist MP Bessie Braddock, who told

him, "Winston, you're drunk.":

Bessie, you’re ugly. And tomorrow morning I’ll be

sober, but you’ll still be ugly.

or another slightly different version....

Braddock: "Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are

disgustingly drunk."

Churchill: "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you

are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still

be disgustingly ugly
