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.)
Nutty Vittachi bollocks as usual.
ReplyDeleteThis idiot really is a Gila Babi bullshitter.
This method of choosing the PM IS democratic and is practiced in the majority of countries that practice the Westminster system, or similar for centuries.
The Monarch or Head Of State (if it is a Republic) appoints the Prime Minister from among the Members of the House , who in his opinion commands the support of the majority of the members of the House.
In this case, the Party that holds the majority in the House carries out a vote on who should be their leader.
It is fair and square, unless the Party's own majority in the House is in a precarious position. In which case a General Election is the proper process.
In the current UK situation, Labour has a very comfortable majority. It is currently very unpopular, but that is not a Constitutional concern. This Parliament still has several years until expiry.
majority, even with 1 vote?
