Do you feel safe with the basic structure of your country's government? I can only speak from my experience as a citizen of the U.S., that political party differences make things difficult, but I don't think those problems are insurmountable. Whether I love the current political party in power or not, I feel ok in the grand scheme of things.

Would you feel better if there was no organized government?

I don't really see how modern life could survive and progress without some sort of group leaders, but what do you think?

I'm quite happy with the way our government here is structured Gordon, but then I do live in a country with a Social Democracy setup.

Cheers.

Any relationship from an individual all the way up to the top, I've always believed requires 3 things. Trust, Respect & Honesty. With just one of those breached, the relationship is in trouble. With any 2 or more, it's dead!

How can you trust a government that won't allow everyone to vote?

Correct. No Government can be trusted.

That is why those who believe in Centralizing Government's Power over more and more and more, are their own worst enemy.

Advocating anarchy! Got it!

Hi Gary...

I will take your post as a silly and unsuccessful attempt at humor :-D

Why do you say that, can you trust all of the elected officials in your city or county?
Or in the next county, what if the have radically different views as can happen at the borders of rural and urban areas.

Precisely. The anarchy he advocates may be very good for one person and very bad for another. Balance it out and you have government. If you have 51 governments, same problem, good for some, very bad for others, balance it and you have federal government, let people vote and you have a republic. Have a free press reporting news and corruption has no place to hide. Have FAUX news and corruption flourishes.

Or is the problem that he doesn't understand the opposite of government is anarchy? Would he trust anarchy?

Trust...hmm...is it instantly applied or is it earned?

The pitfalls of trust broken/betrayed

Hmm... the CEO of the GMC...

Charlie Massey – Chief Executive

Charlie leads our senior management team who are responsible for what we do day-to-day.

He builds on the key reforms we've delivered, including:
•expanded medical education and training role
•revalidation
•language checks for doctors from Europe
•Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service.

Charlie joined us from his Director General role at the Department of Health England. Before that, Charlie was Director for Ageing Society and State Pensions at the Department for Work and Pensions.

He has also worked in a variety of roles across government and the wider public sector. During this time Charlie has led:
•improved funding of final salary pension schemes as Executive Director of the Pensions Regulator
•childcare and drugs reviews in the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit
•work on Royal Mail and the future of the Post Office network at HM Treasury.
Can't see any medical degree amongst all that gumpf.

There is an important point in this bit:
"Dr Bawa-Garba said in her defence she had worked a 12-hour shift with no break and there was a lot of miscommunication in the ward."

Such a scenario is all too common.

As a research scientist in the hospital lab i get to go home at 5.30pm (much to my colleagues on the ward's envy!). After twelve hours of staring into microscopes i would be absolutely knackered, yet the most damage i could do would be to myself.
Were I a medical doctor, with other people's lives (sometimes literally) in my hands, the risks are much higher!

Charlie Massey is a manager, not a doctor, you don't need a medical degree to do what he does.
A functioning pair of ears to listen to concerns then (in an ideal world) act on those concerns is what's necessary.

Very true. What is also important is what I've underlined.

The problem is that too many managers let their positions (read status) overcome their common sense.

No arguments from me there.
