Bernie Ecclestone...oh dear!

quote from Timesonline article

He also rounded on democracy, claiming that “it hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries — including this one [Britain]”.

gassing people to death didn't do much good for Germany either.

has the bloke cracked up?
 
I'm not a great believer in democracy.

I think benevolent despotism is potentially the answer but I'll probably have to go to some obscure island paradise to fulfil my ambition.
 
The complete stupidty of it is that every successful country in the world taking any indicator you like, is a liberal democracy. And just about all the failed states are what he advocates.

Does anyone believe that Iran will now progress in any way at all now that it has drifted from a sham democracy to a totalitarian state?

The blokes a moron.

DO...there is no such thing as a benevolent despotism. Its an oxymoron to start with but it is virtually impossible for authority to be executed effectively without responsibility..in any walk of life
 
Clive - Bernie E has turned F1 into an even bigger, shambolic debacle than it already was and it's given him more power. Hitler is just a convenient example of something similar - as long as Bernie gets more power he's very happy.
