“England is the mother of parliaments” is from speech given by John Bright MP in Birmingham the 18th of January 1865. Now obviously that quote, is wrong on so many levels. It was the UK Parliament he was talking about and I’m pretty sure the ancient Athenians might call him out on it as well. Today we saw the truth, the UK Parliament is democracy without decency.
Firstly we have an unelected woman who receives state aid (and her husband) in a gold carriage escorted by the Household Cavalry (serving soldiers playing dress up) through the streets of London, then this benefits claimant enters the House if Lords (an unelected band of wasters who get £300 quid a day for signing their name) and sits down on her seat, sorry Throne. Then the only people who are actually elected by the people are SUMMONED to attend and listen to the benefits scrounger read a speech, written by a political party who got less than 37% of the votes at the recent General Election, that tells us what they are going to impose on on the 63%+ of the electorate who voted for anybody but them.
Secondly we had the site of 56 adults being pulled up for daring to applaud a colleague in a debate as it is the convention in the House of Commons to act like braying Public Schoolboys and cheer, jeer and catcall instead.
Thirdly with such an important debate on “zero hours contracts” taking place it was disgusting to see an empty chamber with only a handful of MP’s outwith all 56 from the SNP bothering to turn up.
A genuine political revolution took place in Scotland 3 weeks ago, we can only hope that during the next few years the rest of the electorate in the UK wake up a some point in the next 10 years the SNP MP’s will be returning to Scotland forever and they will e on their own.
