End of Representative Democracy in sight?

Lord Tebbit asks the powers to examine their sacred cows:

"We would do well to recollect Enoch Powell's definition of a sacred cow as “a beast one lacks both the means to nourish and the will to put down”, for it describes the dilemma of those who were taken in by the near religious fervour of the prophets of monetary union. There is still an unwillingness to contemplate what needs to be done and an irrational belief that somehow, if only a big enough bazooka could be built and fired, the euro could be saved at least for another few years. A bazooka might be better used as a humane killer."

Indeed. But why are we in this situation in the first place? We were taken into the EU by politicians who pretend to represent us. But the system of "representative democracy" our politicians have contrived over the years does not represent us at all. It is the spawn of sophists - political conjurers - who have managed to convince the population that we have a functional democracy. We do not.

Commenter "pretty polly" seeks the demise of 'representative democracy':

"Norman Tebbit is only partly right.

Not only is it time to say farewell to the Euro. It is time to say farewell to the democratic system which enabled it to happen, and instead empower electorates with the right to referendums and recall."

Representative democracy is where the fault lies because elected representatives cannot be trusted to respect the will of the people. I am sure Norman Tebbit recognises this fact from his period in office.

Representative democracy has given Europe the Euro. It has also given Great Britain the multiracial society and Islam which in due course will lead to the racial replacement of the indigenous population and their inevitable marginalisation.

What a disaster of truly epic proportions has been forced on our unwilling population by a very small number of people in parliament acting in defiance of everyone.

This dates back to WW2 and Clement Attlee's British Nationality Act 1948, probably the most foolish and disastrous piece of legislation in British history with absolutely shocking consequencies.

Representative democracy has enabled parliament to give Great Britain away to foreigners. Not only to mass immigration which the electorate certainly does not want, but also the EU which the electorate doesn't want either.

All this is the fault of a parliament which is obssessed with it's own desires, wishes and petty prejudices and which constantly holds up two fingers to everyone else.

We urgently require reform and the electorate to be empowered with the right to call referendums and invoke recall when politicians fall out of favour.

Very much along the lines of Switzerland in fact where it is known as Direct Democracy.

Otherwise, if there is no change, there is no doubt we all ultimately will be living under Islamic law and the indigenous population will be forced out.

We are close to the time when we must stand up and be counted."

Quite.
