A. Public defenders usually try very hard to plea bargain most cases quickly because of their impossible work-load. If you can afford it, hire your own attorney (look in the phone book). They actually have your best interest in mind.

How can the public start a vote of no-confidence in the Government?
Q. Is there a mechanism for the public to oust the Government in the UK prior to an election? They're a complete sham. They've robbed the pensions pot of UK workers, they've put us in two war zones without need, they've raised taxes to an unsustainable level, and couldn't run a corner shop let alone a county.

A. Why not try a petition on the No.10 website. It worked with road pricing, millions of signatures and the proposal has been quietly dropped. It would seriously embarrass the Government. The problem is (of course) getting the signatures. You can use "round robin" style emails designed to be passed onto friends and colleagues. If it really started working the press would pick it up. And if they picked it up the broadcasters would probably bite. Each bit of publicity feeds the list which attracts more publicity as it grows. Worth a try.
