During the 2010 Westminster Election, much off the focus centred around the English Purple Revolution "Take Back Parliament". The LibDems were at that time expected to take the lead in encouraging all politicians and voters to adopt proportional representation in future elections and an elected House of Lords. As soon as the coalition was formed all these plans were to be abandoned, we are left with the referendum on the Alternative Vote system now on May 5th. Labour had already chosen AV as policy knowing that it would never be selected in a referendum and was less threatening to their mass support than PR.
Yes, for a short period last year there was talk of a new style of democracy, accountability and freedom emerging, even in little England.
All of this was only the prelude to the amazing mass movement towards democracy in the Arab World and Britains NATO action in Libya. The problem for our own government is that everything to do with Libya seems to always go wrong and end in some form of embarrassment, usually at the hands of the mad Col Ghadaffi.
Britain has been forced to support the corrupt Monarchies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Morocco etc.

With a huge royal wedding scheduled in April, Britain hardly looks like a land of democratic equality or free speech. The wedding ring alone is valued at £32 million pounds, the couple have been living together for years, so there won't be any nuptial surprises. The groom does not have a surname, they keep changing the name of the royal household because of course they are mainly descended from German invaders, their desperation to identify with British (Englishness) means that the Brides decent from one convicted criminal confirms some kind of commonality with the establishment view of the perceived ordinary population (mostly Sun News readers and White Van Men).
Sadly, this celebrity culture has invaded every part of normal life in our country, when the citizens of a country are more interested in entertainment than the well being of others, we live in very dangerous times and are vulnerable to all manner of brainwashing and political manipulation.
