On one day every month, 50 of the brighter kids from my school are told to go to a room and be the "school council". I am one of these kids, and today was that day.
At the start of what should be lesson 3 ,we all shuffle into a room and sit around a table. We have become a school council. What do school councils do? Why, they make decisions and try there upmost to be the voice of the children in a world that is run by adults.
Well, that would be the case, if it were physically possible for more than 5 people to honestly agree on something. Let me run you through the course of events in this two hour meeting;
Issue 1. Should Miss.Aston be aloud to have suggestive posters of Robbie William on her class room walls?
And that was it, it took this bunch of imbeciles 2 HOURS to decide that. I hope to god Miss.Aston appreciates the fact we, with all our worldly knowledge, have allowed her to keep the less suggestive of her posters.

How long would it have taken a dictator to reach this decision? About 10 Seconds tops.
Now im not talking evil dictator, im just talking a level headed guy (or gal) who can make good, sensible decisions.
But the school council is not the only example where a dictator would have been oh so use full. Another is Milton Keynes.
I was there recently... its crap, and the thing is you can tell how it came about. A group of of town planners sat at a table, for months and months and months and months, and eventually decided that they should make it like a really horrible American town. Wheras if a person had of just gone in there and said, "Make it the same as Stratford-upon-avon" it would have been really nice.
Unfortunatly,though this just aint possible. In a perfect world where everyone was level headed and made good decisions, this would be great. But obviosly, there are some maniacs out there.
So, this is what i propose, there should be an X-Factor style TV show, and it should be all about finding a dictator to rule over somewhere... and see what happens.
