| We don't just need a stronger Democracy (the House of Commons, the proper
Democratic Chamber, needs to be cleaned out of the non-Democratic
inhabitants it now possesses).
We also need a stronger Aristocracy (clean out the non-Aristocratic
inhabitants the House of Lords now posesses) and a return of the stronger
Constitutional Monarchy.
That will put us in the comfortable situation the Constitution demands.
We can then see about getting a Supreme Court set up to guard our
Constitution, so this debacle to the Mother of All Parliaments is never
allowed to happen ever again.

Please enlighten us. What does the "Constitution" which you refer to have to
say about democracy and how it should function? To get an idea about what
democracy is, take a glimpse at the report which we offer free

Nah! All we need is for the electorate to get off its collective fat rears
and vote in people to represent them and then to bother them until they do.

We can manage without that lot of dead wood particularly if they are
Aristocrats.

Ah! Now a few small changes to that constitution are very much in order.
Starting with proper equality for all four UK countries. After all poor old
England has no parliament of her own and she really should have her very own
parliament. Then, of course we could insist that England also gets a block
grant like the rest of us.
HOME RULE FOR ENGLAND!!!!!

Err! Wait a moment. Who's constitution would that be? Scotland's, Wales'
Northern Ireland's or England's?
Mind you England can do what she likes with her constitution after she gets
her own parliament. In the mean time she will just have to make do with the
one we, (The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, that is),
have now.
snip
Then, of course we can devolve much more power and tax handling powers to
the home parliaments, cut out the dead wood from Westminster and sell off
the Westminster Parliament complex a for development. After all the federal
functions of a very few elected representatives standing for the four
individual countries of the United Kingdom would only be dealing with a few
matters whose functions would be really matters of shared interests like the
common defence and such like. Just think how much extra influence we could
have throughout the Worlds organizations. Four seats on the United Nations,
Four seats at the European top table. four seats at NATO. Then the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would be once again great.
