We had this during the 'Loony Left' era and it seems some are having another go at socialist revolution by other means. It is important that the prisons, police and courts are not subserviant to the politicians but act for the people. It ain't broke don't fix. It might be interesting to note that countries with "Peoples" or "Democratic" in their name (GDR, DRC, PRC etc) tend to consider people as mere clay. Changing names.

This would be a MASSIVE waste of money. If they wanted to change a lot of the procedures to somehow make it better, fair play. The post office did this, it doesnt help.
