BRITISH ‘DEMOCRACY’
1. Small elite group chooses person they want to rule.
(The people get no say.)
2. Small elite group tells democratically elected Prime Minster to resign.
(The people get no say.)
3. Small elite group notices that their chosen man needs to be MP first, so they make that happen.
(The people get no say.)
4. Small elite group tells the people who will be their leader.
(The people get no say.)
Similar scenarios have happened REPEATEDLY in the UK.

HONG KONG ‘UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE’
Now compare that with the system of universal suffrage that Beijing offered Hong Kong in 2013.
1. Electoral college of people’s representatives, made up of all major parties, puts forward a selection of candidates.
2. Every legal citizen gets two votes, one for their local representative, one for the overall leader of Hong Kong.
3. All seats in the Legislative Council (Hong Kong's parliament) go to democratically elected people, including the top job.
(The Beijing-endorsed universal suffrage system proposed for Hong Kong was popular with the public, but it was, bizarrely, rejected by a certain group of politicians. This caused a return to the British colonial mixed system. We now know the people who rejected it were supported by US political interference groups.)
