Well actually, a party in the UK which has been gaining traction recently, for all the wrong reasons, might want this as well. UKIP. They want a Swiss-style direct democracy where all counties within the UK become 'states' or 'cantons'. Regardless of your stance of UKIPs immigration policy, I'm very much looking forward to them implementing this, if they did win the upcoming elections.
edit: However, they have terrible nationalistic policies such as "Teach children positive messages and pride in their country. We want to unite through better integration".
- lifeisstillgood 12y agoFor non-UK voters, UKIP is the middle-class racist party. Not going as far as neo-fascist parties like BNP, but happily taking votes away from the Right wing of the Conservatives by pushing a isolationist, return to glory days agenda. They have no seats at Westminster but their leader is very telegenic and their message apparently popular at the "mid-term" elections. They are now expecting to win a few seats and are rapidly chucking out people and policies that are too dodgy to be allowed onto newspapers or TV.
