"New Labour" is condoning the war in Lebanon, selling off the NHS to private companies, and has ministers who court sleaze, is there a way of removing them before they completely destroy the Country?

Ok, so there is voting. But that is no use when the damage is done before the next general election!

Yes.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has to stop working in protest. The public is much more powerful than the government but the government operate on a divide and conquer theory. While others are blaming asylum seekers for the NHS they are not fighting the government.
If everyone in the country, or at least the majority of us, stopped working on one day as protest then it would work.
Trouble is, people won't do it.
Once it was said that "all you have to lose is your chains" now all you have to lose is your chains, your widescreen tv, your DVD player and collection, your computer and your internet connection. People don't want to lose all that.
Shame really... I'd love a revolution.

Why more people voted for this sleazy, corrupt government to get them back in power than did for any other party. Tory party needs to change this Davy Boy if it wants any chance to get in. The liberals have no chance. Vote UKIP get out of this strangulation of EU laws and human rights. The only way is to protest and make sure the people who supported this rotten government do not next time.

All that can be done is to vote for someone else next time there's a General Election. There's no guarantee the other lot would be any better, though.

if you are brave enough get involved with local politics and put it right. Remember the conservatives ended up doing a pretty crap job and thats why they were ousted in 1997 after running the country for such a long time. Perhaps we naturally go through waves with the majority in power until they substantially mess it up and people are fed up with them. By this time the legacy of past parties have been forgotten and they get their turn again.

The only way to do it is if the mp's call for a vote of no confidence in the rulling party.
How much of a majority they need I don't know.

Didn't someone try that once? I'm just an ignorant American, but I think you even have a holiday named after him. Guy Folke, or something like that. Rather ugly ending, what with heads on poles and all.

the only way i can think of is voteing them out, which would mean getting everyone together. the problem with that is the ones who have it good dont want change, and usually they are the most influential.

the way forward would be for the queen to sack the lot and do the job herself for a while
