If there were two real parties there could be no system. In the presence of this inner obstacle, a VOTE becomes about as valuable as a railway ticket when there is a permanent block on the line\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>G.K. Chesterton \u2013 A Short History of England<\/p>\n<p>We need to learn, and learn quickly, that<\/p>\n<p>the rule of (common) law is the <strong>absolute condition<\/strong> for personal liberty and true democracy in a free society. Without it, we will have the rule of tyrants.<\/p>\n<p>Let us assume, as seems extremely likely, that the present Tory leader will NOT achieve any sort of \u2018deal\u2019 for her to-ing and fro-ing across the Channel. After the charade which we have witnessed over the past two years, do you honestly think we can trust politicians of ANY colour, to fulfil the terms of the Referendum vote?<\/p>\n<p>Not <strong>BLUE, <\/strong>not <strong>RED<\/strong>, the <strong>SNP? They<\/strong> are all against it; as for <strong>LibDems, Greens<\/strong>, even <strong>UKIP,<\/strong> \u2013 the party which fought for so long to persuade the Tories to ALLOW us to choose by Referendum \u2013 can\u2019t now stop fighting amongst themselves. Even recently (July 30 2018) they were still in dispute over the function of their NEC.<\/p>\n<p>So, are you going to mention the newly-formed <strong>DVP<\/strong>, or perhaps, <strong>FOR BRITAIN<\/strong>? It takes 5 years and around \u00a320m in funds to establish any new party which would even START to make a dent in the Tory ranks.<\/p>\n<p>At that next election, what do you imagine you will <strong>really<\/strong> achieve, unless you use your vote to kick the corrupt parties out of Parliament, by the simple alternative of voting for an <strong>INDEPENDENT<\/strong> candidate?<\/p>\n<p>The fact of the matter is that we have become a very lazy society, and we have let ourselves, by habit and convenience, be lulled into accepting the adage first promoted by Harold Macmillan<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <em>\u201cWe\u2019ve never had it so good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many of us have ceased to think very deeply for ourselves, with the result that we have, as a nation, been sleep-walked into accepting what has been published to us, from the end of World War II onwards.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that, just seven years after we had finally (with the help of our former colonies across the pond, and many brave Commonwealth \u2013 and Polish \u2013 souls) put the Fatherland back in its place, there was already a plan in hand to achieve, by economic means, what the Austrian painter\/decorator (as my now deceased German brother-in-law used to say \u2013 \u2018der war auch Asylant\u2019) had failed to do with his super-efficient \u2018Wehrmacht\u2019 = \u2018Defence Force\u2019 \u2013 there\u2019s a bitter laugh.<\/p>\n<p>The late King George VI was only three months laid to rest when Jean Monnet, one of the founding fathers of the European Union, was writing to a friend \u2013 30<sup>th<\/sup> April 1952:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Europe\u2019s nations should be guided towards the super-<strong>state<\/strong> (1952??) without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an \u2018economic\u2019 purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now, I <strong>could<\/strong> list for you, every single piece of \u2018statute\u2019 which has been moulded and fiddled to fit in with that mantra of the unelected oligarchy, masquerading as a benevolent unifying presence, from 1948 right through to 2009 \u2013 but you know most of them, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>What a close examination of the text and purport of all the \u2018Treaties\u2019 shows us is, that those who have held the position of \u2018UK Leader\u2019, under their version of \u2018democracy\u2019, have sold our country\u2019s soul to the devil \u2013 as surely as Faust lost his shadow to Mephistopheles..<\/p>\n<p>So, we come, late in the day, to the frightening conclusion that we are in imminent danger of being totally emasculated as a nation, of having a minor role in an ever-growing federation of half-convinced \u2018states\u2019 (note how THAT word crept in) \u2013 are we to be the Northern Section of some cooked-up French arrondisement?<\/p>\n<p>All of which can still be averted, by simply reasserting our inalienable rights as freemen\/women under the Great Charter of 1215, as confirmed by the Bill of Rights 1689.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Party System\u2019 in UK politics is DEAD, not fit for purpose (never was) and must be removed if our nation is to retain any vestige of status, dignity and self-government.<\/p>\n<p>Forget Facebook, typing and ranting will not save us \u2013 \u2018Shadowbanning\u2019 is already in hand, closing down your right to think and speak freely.
