I have been a long time admirer of Jim Wallace, and Sojourner magazine, for a long time now.

Now before anyone starts saying that I am a believer in Oligarchy or that therefore the Lib Dem’s don’t believe in democracy what is about to follow aren’t actually my views (though there may be some element of my actual opinion included) The idea of this post is to challenge elements of our beliefs and maybe learn… [Read more…]
