John Cleese: Extremism

The extremism part kicks in about 1:10, but the whole thing is well worth a watch. Politics hasn't changed as much as it might seem sometimes.

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the other ones.

Thankfully dangerous radical ideas like this never get any media coverage or financial backing. And plenty of intimidation and smear. Yes we can all stay on the suicidal pron money seesaw of violence death and consumerism to oblivion as long as scum like this never, ever get any real power.

This may be about British politics but it could apply to American politics just as easily. Interesting stuff.

great video.

proportional representation has always made more sense to me than the winner-takes-all style america has been using, but methinks it may be a while before we can pry loose from the extremists` stranglehold..

Its way too true.
I think the saddest part is that a neutral agreement between any party will probably never be met, because only a small percent of people from either party have the idea that AGREEMENTS between people work better than disagreements.
It`ll perpetually be `on the rise` but never risen.
