That is not a source! You are distracting from the fact that the UK has a gr0ssly c0rrupt electoral system. Out of 1,438, only 650 are elected, which means that only 45 percent of representatives are elected. The Tories now have a working majority of 55 in the Commons, and 100 in the Lords. How is that democratic? What is more, since you voted to Leave the “undemocr@tic” EU, successive PMs have ennobled 171 Life Peers (including 30 from Truss, which works out an average of 223 per year!). Compare this to 705 MEP voted for by PR, and 27 Commissioners voted for by the 705 MEPs (100 percent elected). The UK is the only parliamentary system in Europe, apart from Belarus, which uses FPTP. The Tories got 365 seat (56% of the seats) with just 43.6% share of the vote, whereas Labour got 202 (31% of the seats) with 32.1% of the vote. When Brexit Party won the 2019 election to the European Parliament, which uses PR, it won 29 seats, three times more than all the MEPs for Slovakia. And it is BP who were complaining of how undemocratic it is!
The Vote Leave statement: "L3aving the EU is a great opportunity for us to take b@ck control of our borders, our economy and our democracy” has a hollow ring to it! Gove and Johnson were the ones that promised that Br3xit would make you much better off. Has it taken b@ck control of bord3rs? Has it taken back control of our democracy? It seems to me that the right-wing lib3rt@rian billion@ires funding news channels and think t@nks are using the @nger and @lienation of working class @uthoritarians. As with Brexit, who benefitted the most from this alliance? Who will continue to benefit most?
