Campaign for Debate on Democratic Equality
Attacks on NHS-care, by our governments, should alert to serious democratic deficit.
Discounting class affiliation and self-interest, confusion and frustration might explain.
Rejecting ant-procession, unable to keep unfair order, democratic march is line-abreast.
Confusion comes from mis-read lessons, at root the choice of hot-money appeasement.
Frustration comes from incoherent troop disruption of hot-money-pleasing battle lines.
We all need rescue for democracy, from undue deference, from undue self-promotion.
That which every child should know, remains to be understood by all too many adults.
Enduring democracy, from enduring political equality, needs secure economic equality.
Far from the greasy-pole average, equal income-shares would free all to represent all.
If democracy comes in time to save our world, people will wonder at lives without trust.
From anti-appeasement calculation, or from anti-appeasement preference, let us unite!
Greece is falling to a disease we all share.
On the wing already, aggressive Black Swans in flock.
The alternative is one simultaneous awakening, a lead for democracy.
To be 'in it together' even the rich must trade advantage for security.
Imagine the macro-economic flexibility of an equal-share Europe…

In 1939 the UK proudly rationed and thrived.
Emergency rationing not too difficult, net labour saving.
Simple to pool all 'earnings' (jobs and savings) to National Fund.
At first a shock for the better-off, but in it together not so bad.
Greece really could see the rebirth of democracy.
Once again, after 2,500 years, a model for the world.
