The human race is like survivors in a life boat with one loaf of bread; there are only 3 ways of distributing it. You sell it so the rich gobble it up, You fight for it so the strongest get it all; or You share it . That is the choice we have to make and that can only really be done in a democratic world. That is why democracy is worth working for. – Tony Benn
