🧵 The British Democracy Illusion:

How the Royal Prerogative Keeps Power Beyond the Reach of the People 👇

Introduction

We are told that Britain is a democracy. That we vote for representatives who govern on our behalf. That Parliament is sovereign. That no major decisions are made without public accountability.

But this is, at best, a comforting illusion.

Behind the traditions, the rituals, and the televised debates lies a constitutional relic that makes a mockery of democratic principle.

It is called the Royal Prerogative, and it still governs how our country is run.

What Is the Royal Prerogative?

The Royal Prerogative is a set of powers once wielded by monarchs who ruled by divine right.

Today, those same powers are used by government ministers without the need for Parliament’s consent.
These powers include:

Signing treaties
Deploying troops
Appointing ministers and judges
Dissolving Parliament
Granting pardons
Controlling passports and citizenship
And more

Critically, the power to commit the UK to international agreements on matters as serious as public health, defence, or territorial sovereignty remains fully in the hands of ministers.

Parliament does not vote. The public does not consent. Yet the effects are profound and often irreversible.

Democracy Without Consent

Since 2017, over 293 treaties have been signed using the Royal Prerogative.

Not one required a binding vote in the House of Commons.

Recent examples include:

The WHO Pandemic Agreement, which could shape our public health responses for years

The Chagos Islands deal, which hands sovereignty of UK territory to a foreign state

A sweeping UK EU reset treaty, affecting trade, defence, borders, and youth mobility

The UK India Free Trade Agreement, granting long term migration and tax concessions

A new defence pact with Australia tied to nuclear submarine cooperation

These are not minor diplomatic notes. They reshape the laws, rights, and lives of British citizens.

Yet they were signed without debate, without a vote, and without your MP being able to stop them.

This is not democracy. It is executive rule under the guise of tradition.

1/
Did you vote for the WHO Pandemic Treaty?

Did you approve giving away UK territory?

Did you back a 12-year EU fishing deal?

No? Neither did Parliament.

This is how the Royal Prerogative is gutting UK democracy.

2/
The Royal Prerogative is a leftover from the days of kings and queens ruling by decree.

Today, government ministers use it in the monarch’s name to bypass the House of Commons, and they're using it more than ever.

3/
Since July 2024, the Labour Government has signed at least 8 major international agreements using royal prerogative powers, none of which received a vote in Parliament.

That includes deals with:

The WHO
The EU
Mauritius (Chagos)
India
Australia
Germany

🧵The WHO Pandemic Treaty is the most dangerous attack on British freedom you have never heard of.

And your MP will not vote on it.

Read this carefully. Then share it.

1) This treaty gives unelected officials at the World Health Organization sweeping powers to control how the UK handles pandemics, define what counts as “truth,” and ignore our Parliament entirely.

It is not a conspiracy theory. It is written in the treaty itself.

2) It legalises censorship.

Article 18 forces countries to tackle what it calls “misinformation” and to increase “trust in science and public health authorities.”

Translation:

Censorship of dissent

Silencing of whistle-blowers

Criminalising alternative views

Suppressing public debate

🚨 Integrity Matters. 🚨

Over the past five months, we’ve worked tirelessly to build a real grassroots movement for Reform UK in our constituencies. We believed in a party that stood for accountability, democracy, and real change.

Sadly, the actions of Reform UK’s leadership have made it impossible for us to continue in good conscience. When integrity is compromised, blind loyalty is not an option.

With deep regret, we—every officer in our branch—are resigning with immediate effect. Our full statement explains why.

(Read the letter below) ⬇️ @ZiaYusufUK @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk @TiceRichard @LeeAndersonMP_ @RupertLowe10

Date and Time: Friday, March 14, 2025, 17:10 GMT

Dear Mr Yusuf,

Integrity matters to us.

Cliché it might be, but this letter has been deeply sad to write.

We are the interim Branch Officers for Reform UK, Chester North and Neston / Ellesmere Port and Bromborough, and we are all resigning from our posts, in concert and with immediate effect.

We can no longer represent Reform UK. We can no longer face our voters, your masters, Mr Yusuf, and sincerely defend your Party’s actions. This decision comes after careful thought and with resounding unity.

Over the past five months, we’ve grown local membership from 780 to 1,482, as it stands today. We joined this Party for its drive to change politics for good, to bring hope back to the nation, and to deliver common-sense policies.

We poured our hearts into structures and plans to make a major impact in our constituencies, only to see that vision crumble. We are utterly devastated. Daily, we face members who trusted us for guidance, now as disgusted as we are by your actions, many emailing to cancel their memberships immediately.

If you care why you’ve lost an entire set of Branch Officers, read on.

I Am Thinking of Building a Global Politician Surveillance System.

The Tools Are Already Available.

Who is In?

Governments have built a vast surveillance network to monitor, control and restrict us.

They track our finances, online activity, movements and even conversations.

But who is watching them?

It is time to turn the tables.

I want to build a real time global system that monitors politicians, tracks their votes, analyses their laws and exposes their actions before it is too late.

If they track us we track them. If they try to hide we expose them.

Here is how we can do it🧵

1 What Would This System Do

🔹 Track every bill in real time

✅ Pull legislative data from public APIs starting with the UK then expanding globally

✅ Use AI automation to analyse bills before they pass identifying

•The worst case scenario of each law such as surveillance, financial control and censorship

•Hidden clauses that attack freedoms

•Which MPs are backing it and who is fighting it

🚨 They rely on us only seeing the impact after it is too late. This stops that.

🔹 Track every MP’s actions in Hansard and beyond

✅ Use automation to expose their voting records showing who consistently votes against public freedoms

✅ Compare their public statements to their actual votes

✅ Map out who is funding and influencing them

🚨 They say one thing and do another. This will catch them in real time.

🧵 The Data (Use and Access) Bill

The Digital Control Grid is Here

We stopped the Climate & Nature Bill (for now), but they haven’t given up.

Instead of trying to control our resources first, they’re building the digital infrastructure to control us instead.

This bill is slipping through Parliament quietly and unless we expose it, it will pass before people even realise what’s happening.

Let’s break it down 👇

1️⃣ What Is the Data (Use and Access) Bill?

The Government claims this bill is about:

✅ "Cutting red tape"
✅ "Boosting efficiency"
✅ "Helping businesses and public services share data"

Sounds harmless, right?

🚨 Wrong.

This bill lays the foundation for mass financial surveillance, a national digital ID system, and automated enforcement of government policies.

It’s not about making data more accessible. it’s about making YOU more controllable.

2️⃣ Why Was This Introduced in the House of Lords?

Most people haven’t even heard of this bill and that’s by design.

🔻 Introduced in the unelected House of Lords, where there’s no public scrutiny.

🔻 No big media coverage, so MPs don’t feel pressured to challenge it.

🔻 No major public debate, by the time people notice, it’ll be too late.

This tactic has been used before, introduce something controversial in the Lords, get it to the Commons when it’s too late for mass resistance.
