We need to overhaul the voting system and reconsider the “one man one vote” principle.
The current system allows people who live off the state to have significant influence, leading to a government that caters to their needs while ignoring those of taxpayers. Political parties pander to and prioritise votes from those dependent on the government, whether they are unemployed or work for the government.
Voting rights should be limited to those who have worked in the private sector and paid taxes for an extended period, say 20 years, Dr. Vernon Coleman suggests.

We need to overhaul our voting system.
We need to reconsider the principle of “one man one vote.”
Voting in England has become something of a joke in recent years. Shareholders who vote against company directors’ pay are likely to have their vote ignored. Television viewers who pay to vote for selected contestants in reality show competitions may find that their votes have not been counted – even though they have been charged. And electors who vote in parliamentary elections are wasting their time. Political manifestos, controlled by parties which have no interest in the welfare of the electors or the country, are an irrelevance. No one takes them seriously. Politicians know that they will ignore them. And so do the voters.
Politicians now know that they can safely ignore the wishes of the electorate as long as they cater for the whims and wishes of a small, controlling group of voters. This small controlling group consists of those who rely upon the State for their income – either as employees or as dependants.
The politicians who run the country are self-serving and the people who put them in power are self-serving too.
The time has come to reconsider the validity and fairness of the sacred principle of “one man one vote.”
It is generally accepted that the principle of one man (or woman) one vote is a fair and just one but the truth is that this method of voting has created a society in which those who work, pay tax and (literally) support society are ruled by an unholy alliance of those who either fail to work at all (because they are unemployed, unemployable, sick or lazy) and those who work for the State.
The original concept of giving every man and woman a vote was based on the unarguably fair notion that everyone who contributes to society should have a say in how it is run.
But when the vote was given to all, it was never envisaged that a dominant part of the voting would end up in the hands of the unemployed, the long-term sick, the non-taxpayers, the professional users and the parasites; takers, not givers.
But things have changed.
Today, it is perfectly possible for a government to win power– and to hold onto it – simply through winning the votes of people who make no contribution to society.
It is because they know that this is where their votes come from that politicians have made no serious attempt to stop the epidemic of benefit fraud which is destroying the welfare state. Political parties don’t care two hoots that those who are genuinely in need are being pushed aside and abandoned. All the politicians care about is staying in power and enjoying the perks and the money that comes with the power. If this means pandering to those who prefer not to work then this is what they will do.
So many millions now receive state benefits, and are wholly dependent upon the government for their income, that all political parties now pander to them, in order to win their votes, while at the same time ignoring the needs and rights of those who work and pay tax.
Today, a political party can win an election with 20% of the national vote. And a party can reach this vote by pandering to and attracting the votes of the unemployed, those receiving incapacity benefits, public sector workers and scroungers. The result is that taxpayers are disenfranchised. The country is run on behalf of people who are “takers,” who contribute nothing but who take a great deal. Things have gone too far. Today, the inmates are running the asylum for their own benefit.
Votes should now be limited to those who contribute.
It is a long-standing part of our electoral tradition that prisoners do not receive a vote. Why, after all, should people who do not make a positive contribution to society have a say in how society is run? (It is worth noting, however, that the European Union is changing this and giving votes to prisoners.)
It would make just as much sense to withdraw the right to vote from those who are long-term benefit claimants or who never work. Voting rights could, perhaps, be given only to those who have worked and paid tax for, say, twenty years. Those rights, once given, would be for life. State employees would not be on the voting register unless they had worked outside the state system for twenty years.
Our present system is ludicrous and quite unfair. It’s like allowing those who receive donations from a charity to decide how the charitable contributions should be distributed and how much those who contribute to the charity should give. Why should people who choose to never pay tax have any say at all over how taxes are raised or spent?
In a fair world, only private-sector taxpayers would be entitled to a vote.
In our current system, taxpayers pay for everything, are constantly persecuted and abused by the authorities and receive very little in return.
No political party would contemplate even discussing the change I have suggested. The big three political parties know that their power depends upon their being able to buy votes from those electors who are dependent upon the Government and who will, therefore, vote for whichever political party offers them the biggest bribes.
We need to get rid of political parties – and vote for independent candidates. That’s the revolution that is the basis of my book `Bloodless Revolution’.

So, doctors, nurses, physios, police, firemen, ambulance personnel, armed services personnel, the civil service, MP’s don’t get to vote? Is that what is proposed?
Doctors and nurses are mostly private. Most everybody else on your list is a parasite or worse, actively destructive to society.
Perhaps socialist countries with large swathes of population on benefits are the easiest countries for the WEF and globalists to infiltrate as they have now in the Uk, France, Canada, the eu, nz, Australia. Less so in the USA as it is not the majority on benefits, it is the minority. And it is considered an embarrassment to be on welfare and live in welfare housing. There are plenty of jobs in the USA, no excuses not to work. With the current regime in gov’t in the Uk, there is little hope this country will survive. Sorry to say.
Hi Rhoda, another solid article by Vernon Coleman.
I totally agree with what he says.
Having worked most of my life, and still enjoy working.
Over time I have noticed all the above mentioned, have new cars outside their houses.
Whilst they never move often or far. We the workers have paid for them.
Voting should depend on people who paid into the system.
Why is Vernon Coleman equating teachers, doctors, nurses, firemen etc with scoungers? These people are all necessary to society. As a teacher myself I worked very hard to do my best for the chidren in my care and I’m sure that other public sector workers work hard too. The idea that we are not worthy of having voter rights is totally ridiculous.
You apparently would be surprised to find out that public sector workers are not in fact necessary to society. All are parasites inferrior to any private oprators.
Exactly. When you were in first grade the government schools immediately pushed programming children to vote for what would they like to be when they grow up “ONLY” choices were
(Policeman, Doctor, Nurse, Firefighter).
More and more government drunk in beer-o-crates
One Person one vote is the only lawful way to vote in Australia Constitutionally, Political parties and their two party preferred voting system is treason and has been from conception, it is also fraud.
Fraud negates everything. all members of political parties are committing treason full stop.
stop talking sense!!
“We need to get rid of political parties – and vote for independent candidates.”
…………Agreed!
So, you’re basically saying that people who have been subsumed by the system are the best to vote for the same system?!
