Parliamentary Democracy…the new buzzword phrase that is being bandied about by pro-EU types as if it was the sword in the stone….the kingmaker and cure for all Britain’s woes…ironically…because of course there’s nothing they’d like less than British parliamentary democracy preferring instead to be ruled by an unelected Commission in Brussels.
Naturally their new found enthusiasm for ‘Parliamentary Democracy’ is nowt but a ploy to undermine that very concept. They declare that the court case to stop Brexit was merely a necessary action to protect democracy from the Fascist tyranny of May’s attempt to trigger Article 50…never mind that Parliament, by a margin of 6 to 1, had already implicitly authorised that when they agreed to an in/out referendum on the EU.
I think Labour MP Jess Phillips shows what they mean by their version of ‘Parliamentary Democracy’ when she said that it was not her job to listen and represent her constituents but to lead them and make them follow her views even if they disagreed with her. Not sure she has quite got the hang of democracy and being a ‘representative of the People’. A bit too much Parliament and not enough Democracy. More Parliamentary Fascism than democracy methinks.
On Friday on 5Live we heard some interviews with Welsh voters who supported Brexit [17:07]... yet another Labour MP showed his colours as he swept aside their concerns telling us that these poor, uneducated simple Welsh folk just didn’t understand that the court case was helping them out. Foster, doing a proper bit of journalism, pointed out that there was a ‘disconnect’ between what the Leave voters thought and what the likes of that Labour politician thought…they think he is the enemy whilst he thinks they just didn’t understand that they voted for Parliamentary sovereignty and that is exactly what the court case gave them.
Well…no. The whole point of the referendum was precisely that not only did they want to break away from the unelected reign of the EU but that they didn’t trust the British politicians to represent them in regard to the EU….quite rightly as it turns out as those politicians are clearly morally and politically corrupt as they seek to overturn the vote now that it has gone against their own desires.
Bringing sovereignty back to a British Parliament does not mean handing over power to those politicians to do as they like…..in the US the ‘Commons’ is called the House of Representatives….representative…a word that seems to have been forgotten by our elected ‘elite’…and the BBC all too often.
The vote was about returning power to British people not to the large number of EU cronies that dominate the British Parliament….at least we can get rid of these ‘quislings’ as Farage might call them when we can do nothing to rid ourselves of the condescending arrogance of the likes of the unelected Juncker….except leave the EU….oh..yes…that’s exactly what we have voted for. Please note well British MPs.
In a later interview with EU stooge, Ken Clarke, [18:06] Foster does challenge him several times on his stance…such as he will vote against Brexit ‘exercising his judgement’ as he puts it…he thinks we have an autocratic, unaccountable government driven by a right-wing press in a fever of excitement about a single vote and we’re heading towards a strange version of a pre-Parliamentary government. A pretty important and significant vote. Hence the feverish, facist and unaccountable elites’ attempt to thwart the will of the People. Odd how Ken forgets that the EU is a government that is unelected and passes down edicts upon us with threats of grinding punishment if we don’t obey their diktats.
