From the fact that the idea is being assiduously promoted by the Guardian, that it will not matter who leads the Labour Party nevertheless nothing can prevent a Cameron victory at the next general election, it might be assumed that the ‘liberal‘ establishment sees nothing to fear from such an outcome.

It may well be so. On the other hand it might be a powerful argument for an agenda on the left which involves no disturbance to the status quo in the Labour Party. One way or another I suspect that the latter consideration is weightier in the judgement of the Guardianistas.

Such things are a matter of concern mainly to those involved in the political process, their supporters, promoters and those who owe their position, funded by the public purse, to the political party in office.

For the general public, though most of them do not realise it, the whole business is irrelevant. The patriotic audiences which lustily sing Land of Hope and Glory and "Britons never never will be slaves" do not know that they are well on the way to being enslaved and that they have been brought, deliberately, to this sad state of affairs by those who, for one reason or another and regardless of  party allegiance, they elect to Parliament.

Those elected representatives of all parties have betrayed them and continue to betray and deceive by maintaining a shameful charade whose purpose is to portray continuity, and by so doing to suggest that the broad sweep of British history goes on unchanged.

The truth is that the elected government in Westminster is no government. It is a puppet taking instructions from those to whom, treacherously, power has been transferred. As a result of the Lisbon Treaty that is in almost every respect.

Estimates vary but it is generally agreed that up to 80% of the legislation passing through the House of Commons originates in Brussels. Such law is nodded through because it can be neither rejected nor amended. The function of the House of Commons to oversee and check the executive is a sick joke. It does, however, retain the power to grant funds. Historically this has been its strength but nowadays, thanks to party discipline, that power is in the hands of the chief puppet. That is to say that power is in the hands of the head of the executive whose actions it should be used to curb.

As for the politicians, they vote themselves salaries which are more than adequate for what little they are able to do together with generous allowances and pensions. They feel secure in the knowledge that come the general election a gullible electorate will vote for one or other of three false alternatives. For those who have the misfortune to be discarded by their constituents there is such a vast network of quangos of all kinds, that provided they have kept their nose clean and not rocked the boat they will be taken care of for life.

As for the general public who get their information and largely their opinions from the BBC and the newspapers, all of which are party to the original betrayal and subsequent deception, they remain passive in the belief that in less than two years they will be able to get rid of a hated government and put their trust in a fresh young figure who sadly is programmed to betray them like all the rest.

So when the general election comes, if people behave as they are conditioned to do and return to office one of the three phoney alternatives Labour, Conservative or Lib Dem, all they will have succeeded in doing is to change the colour of the jersey on a puppet.

What an end, if end it be, for a great, trusting, misled nation. Where did the dream of democracy go?
