There really might never be another General Election. That is now the law. And there would be no point having one anyway, since the allegedly competing parties are now exactly the same not just politically, but even organisationally at the higher levels.
Those whose ultimate loyalty is to the Crown really have their ultimate loyalty to the People: succession to the Crown is determined by Parliament, within which primacy has shifted to the House of Commons, which has itself come to be elected by universal adult suffrage. Loyalty to this res publica, capped and safeguarded by the Crown, now requires drastic action to remove those who really have staged a coup in this country.
Furthermore, that same duty is now incumbent on all those with whom we share the monarchy, embodying these same principles across, and thus binding to each other, 16 sovereign states and numerous other Territories. If there were a coup in, say, New Zealand, or Barbados, would we just let it go? Well, nor should, say, the New Zealanders, or the Barbadians, just let go the coup in Britain. Where, at the very least, are the motions of censure being brought to the UN, or to the Commonwealth, or to any and every other available forum?

How right you are about their oaths David. The whole point is that they have not sworn allegiance merely to the government of the day, but to the Crwon and thus to the People. The same is true of the police, and of MPs for that matter.
ReplyDeleteNormally this doesn't matter in practice. But it does now. The forces, the police and whoever else should now do their sworn duty and remove this junta.
They should make David PM, i'm serious. He's the last real conservative, liberal and socialist in British politics. So he'd hold an election as soon as the parties were up and running, probably within six weeks at every level. And then any party led by him would win it.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: it would go to his head. Once he'd got power, he'd hold onto it. You wouldn't see an election ever again. After all, as he keeps telling us, they're no longer legally required.
ReplyDeleteOh, but you would. I'd relish it.
