Two days ago, I uploaded this post in an attempt to highlight why casting a vote in the UK 2024 General Election was a complete waste of time, and that abstention was – sadly – the best way to show the British Establishment, the European Union, the Globalist neocons and fair-minded commentators just how alienated the UK Electorate is.
If you have an open mind that refuses to sweep reality under the flying carpet of 21st century macro-economics and neoliberal finance practices, then your best way to demonstrate that is to withdraw support for the form of capitalism that created it…and look for a better one.
I feel for Nigel Farage and an electoral system that awarded his Reform Party a pathetic five seats at Westminster. The result was a disgrace in that Reform UK is now the third [14%] most popular vote Party in the UK but got just five seats, whereas the Liberal Democrats got 2% fewer votes but seventeen times more seats.
Equally ridiculous was the Labour “Landslide” which gave Starmer an absolute majority of seats with just 32 per cent of the popular vote.
But my sympathy for Nigel Farage only goes so far. In the end, it all comes down to how one defines the nomenclatures ‘Reform’ and ‘Revolution’. For example, I’ve yet to hear Farage have a bad word word to say about bourse financing practices, the dubious power of the top six mega-investment Houses, or indeed the entire epidemiological madness of closely linked central banking systems where Slovakian banks take a hit, and Hungary gets pneumonia. There is, as a chum of mine remarked five years ago, a strong caes for replacing suicide with cuntryside.
Nigel’s reform agenda is still restricted to his PLUs. It’s nowhere near enough; and as my columns going back twelve years testify, Britain needs reform that goes way beyond the political arena, encompassing educational Stalinism, inclusive localism, increased regional power to make more citizens feel involved, far less influence given to a national Executive, massive restrictions upon Party donation, abolition of the House of Lords in favour of a better informed and younger body, depoliticisation of the civil police, protection of the media from monied bourse influence, self-release from the US “special” relationship, rigorous control over, and close observation of, foreign Secret State activities in Britain, and last but by no means least, the expulsion of opportunist illegally immigrated [and often anti-semitic] extremist thugs from our culture.
I make no apology at all for my ‘don’t vote’ appeal of the 3rd of July. Two in five of the electorate stayed at home, and as always, the FPTP rotten borough system ensured that nobody got what they deserved ….be they heroes or villains. Until our pleistocine voting system has been given the ritual stake through the heart, I will contue to argue that it is a waste of everyone’s time to vote for a duopoly. The focus for everything and every radical reformer should be to stop this criminal plot to restrict democracy by every means possible. Until that’s been achieved, no legislator will be able to walk tall, with head held high.
Of course the Brussels House Magazine Politico says the election “radically changed the face of UK politics” – they want us back among the Sprouts again. Of course Boris the Blob discourages an alliance between the Tories and Reform UK: he knows it for what it is – a distraction the Tories would never accept.
The voting system and the transer of power to bureaucrats and corporacrats are the things that must go.
Keeping things in proportion
This is an ironic subhead, folks.
If you gave to Reform the same popular vote to seats correlation as Starmer and even Wishy-Washy Sunak got, Farage would have 710 MPs in Parliament. This would present something of an issue as there only 650 seats available. THAT’S HOW POTTY FPTP IS
I am not joking, however, when I say that it really is this simple:
1. Have a popular vote ballot paper composed of all those Parties shown in completely independent market research do have support above the level of 3%.
2. Round 1 consists of a non-constituency based Popular Vote, and after 650 seats have been allocated by Party popularity alone, those who are left get nothing. Zero. Zilch. (It’s a failsafe to keep egomaniacs like Gina Miller arsing about in matters she doesn’t understand. And no, I’m not a mysogynist.)
This means that a system trashing the votes of some 48% is instantly transformed into one in which only those supporting Monster Raving Loonies or Gina Miller-Minge are left out. I doubt if they will be missed.
3. Here comes the New Broom. We abolish the House of Lords in favour of “guardians” for the 650 constituencies. The latter’s sole job would be to query, question and investigate the actions of the Commons Executive, and make them far more accountable in relation to the local ramifications of macro-economic and international alliances they may wish to undertake. The guardians [not in any way to be confused with The Guardian] thus become the People’s constitutionally empowered control over those who would force us against our will to get involved in globalist adventurism against the perceived enemies of the US unelected state.
Of course there will be teething problems; but in multiplied terms, I am putting forward an approach that will [depending on specific issues] re-enfranchise 30 per cent of those whose Civil Right is to HAVE THEIR SAY in deciding whether [for example] we should lick the ring of the American state’s dog of war.
