Well. I am very pro-democratc - for European countries.
Ultimately we want to elect our civil servants, our police chiefs and our judges as well as our politicians and we deserve proper referendum democracy, like Switzerland or better.
The effect of referendum democracy on Switzerland has been that the extreme far-right as been absorbed into the moderate populist right, and you have a responsible right-wing government, in power, ensuring that common sense reigns.
The ideas that democracy is for the few or for the elite is a view which has been the underpinning of the British parliamentary system ever since the antedescendents of the British Conservative and Unionist Party came into existence.
They came into being to ensure that democracy was never really for the people but for the vested interests, and the vested interests in my country - Britain, the pioneers of parliamentary democracy - are a very peculiar set-up and quite removed from the British national interest...
Especially today when our political parties have mostly foreign funding.
What is required is a popular revolt.
The race is now on to see which European country will be the first to overthrow the regime.
I fear that France is now too far gone, but I remain hopeful that something will happen.
