Against Their Own Cause

Do Daniel Hannan and Douglas Carswell believe in our parliamentary democracy, or not?

We do not need to introduce that foreign and deeply flawed thing which is known both to their patrimony and to mine as "a device of demagogues and dictators".

Rather, we need better MPs, selected locally and by means involving the electorate as a whole, elected so as to guarantee a more accurate reflection of the breadth of public opinion, and therefore drawn from formations genuinely giving expression to this country's deep and wide political traditions.
