I think from a Post SHTF Scenario, there will be enough Political/Social leaders surviving in their priveleged bunkers with an armed force behind them that would want to reinforce there rule upon the surviving masses, even though that group would now be in the minority and would have no legal entitlement or electorate to justify it, just armed force. Would we then become rebels, freedom fighters? or would we then go into a a civil war?
Personally, We would firstly become rebels. and after linking up with other rebels and forming an Army, then we would be a part of a civil war. It would need to be a guerilla war to combat the enemy fire power and their trained men. Obviously, their numbers would be much smaller so our chances of winning would be reasonably good.

it all depends on "the event" in the first place, if its something that effects the population at large and reduces the numbers, then there will be a corresponding reduction in the ruling classes too, they may have a few bunkers but i dont think they'll ALL fit in there and a direct hit will seal it up for ever anyway.
Personally I think we should go round sealing up all the bunkers after this lot have gone in. I'm getting feeling I've already talked about this but here goes anyway.
In reality though it depends on the event. They can't take everyone down there and taking an armed force without their families is going to be a big problem for them. A military coup is likely and soldiers go beserk.
When they come out if they tried to take over the country they wouldn't have the manpower. However a bit at a time building up a society as they went with a justice system would be welcomes by many. I don't see us being rebels in that instance.
it all depends on what the event is, but if its a large enough event with a large die off, i can see cities being uninhabitable and the population going back to live in small villages with an agricultural society. i dont see "outsiders" being welcomed especially the ones trying to force the villagers to do something they didn't want to do, we could sort out our own rules without interference from outside.
it would have to be world wide otherwise cam would ask the yanks for help or some other country would come in and take over
Ive got a welder, so we just need a generator and we can seal them up no worries...
