A perfect storm has enveloped the illicit post 2007 Government. The financial system crashed. The economy is crashing. The Upper House of Parliament is mired in the sale of seats for Labour Party funding and political access to decision-takers. The Lower House is covered in ordure as its Speaker is revealed for what he is - defender of 'trade union' rights to take what Members are 'owed'. Many Members, particularly Labour Members, have accepted that view of their role. The Head of State is taking centrally important political decisions without reference to the democratic mandate - for not doing carries consequences equal to doing. The Judiciary is in complete disarray, its membership marred by selection priorities that militate against intelligence and disinterested application of our laws.
Standing shoulder to shoulder, the pair of them like some Scottish Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee, the Prime Minister and the Speaker in unspeakable embrace, despoil England's democracy, claiming constitutional 'rules' that permit only death or resignation to remove them.

I'm trying to start a campaign.
Ahem. The government is not illicit. The Prime Minister was duly appointed by the monarch.
And aother thing. The Head of State is not taking any political decisions: I wish she would, because the obvious one she might take is to dismiss Gordon Brown for gross incompetence, but she seems to think it inadvisable.
I chose illicit, not illegal, quite carefully. My argument is that there was no reason for the elected prime minister to stand down other than a set of wholly undemocratic and probably false claims by Brown, enforced by goodness knows what threats and bullying.
It is not customary for unelected party Leaders to ex offcio become prime ministers of the United Kingdom, on a wholly different platform than that on which the Commons majority had been obtained, and the monarch should have discriminated between Brown's putsch and other occasions when a prime minister was replaced in mid term.
Rules, as we see now so revoltingly demonstrated, have spirits as well as letters.
Not taking decisions acts just as strongly as taking decisions.
