The moral authority of the British Parliament rests on 3 pillars:
1) Traditions going back many centuries.
2) The myth of British nationhood.
3) The myth of British democracy: that Parliament serves the interests of British society at large.

These traditions are an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation.
Britain is a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse.

British democracy is what it has always been: government of the elites, by the elites, for the elites. Notwithstanding that we enjoy some important democratic freedoms, which will hopefully allow us to radically reform the system, provide we proceed peacefully & within the law.
There is an urgent, existential need for radical reform, because the existing system is inherently unjust, inhumane & unsustainable on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet.
Britain's economic & financial system went global & now threatens the whole world.

It's not fair to blame everything on Britain, but Britain did play a central role in the development of the existing world order, so there is no better place than here to begin the REFORMATION. Notwithstanding that it has already started, in pockets, all over the world.
