Would you want to live in a country run by an 'After Hours' Government?

Lets see ... harsher prison conditions and stricter sentencing, rigid secularism, reduced welfare assistance, reduced spending on overseas aid, the total eradication of Amnesty International and hipsters ... what else am I missing?

If AH-user opinion ran the country, would you want to live in it?

Going by the level of moderation it would be quite Stalin-esque

You mean a Tyrant?

I'd be a civil war that never ends.
The people of AH are quite varied in the opinions we have.
There's no way we'll agree on one thing.

The Garda would be ED 209s and treat protesting as a capital offence. The M50 would be a playground. We would have no infrastructure in Rural areas.

I don't think anyone epitomizes AH philosophy like Jonjo the miser.

You're missing a sense of fun and an ability to see through agendas.

That's because the feckers would only complain that it would be a blight the landscape and devastate tourism! After all, nobody wants to look out their kitchen or living room window and see infrastructure out there! :pac:

Nah, he can be our costumed vigilante. We just need to get a giant spotlight with a 'C' in the middle of it. Who wants to be in charge of raising funds for that bad boy from the AH constituents??

Let's call a spade a spade here, you mean taxation right? I foresee problems for your second term election campaign already

Greece tried this already and look what happened.

Ireland run by people in AH. That would be brilliant. Not.

It would descend into utter choas after a week.

Wouldn't mind a fancy senate seat to pontificate from all the same...

Actually, no, not that rigid.

Apologists for radical Islamic nutters are fine, because, you know, Israel this, Israel that, something something something, blah blah blah X infinity. The hippies and the D4 students want their "aid floatilla" to get through but aren't that bothered about the other Palestinians with an even worse life in Lebanon, etc.

If you think AH is a place where a balanced view of Islam is indulged, then we must be reading different threads altogether. Mention the Islamic faith at all, and people will have no hesitation in telling you how little they think of the religion and even its adherents.

In fact I can't believe I left Muslims, travellers and asylum seekers out of the OP!

I also forgot socialists, cyclists & Caitlin Jenner.

That's where Im getting political here, I never said that - I - was going to introduce this change, just that someone has to. I just need someone to fall on their sword for me, so I can stand tall on their corpse.

And let's not forget possibly the most prevalent bunch this year given the referendum, the "won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!" Christians and "cultural traditionalists".

Nope, some of the worst opinions I've ever seen have been here on AH. I would dread the thought of some of these people being in a position of power.

lazybones32

Yes.
They'd be too concerned with mindfulness and discussing the minimum requirements of liberalism, to notice me plotting their destruction. I promise a pyrotechnics display that would be worthy of remembrance.
