Brexit Means Brexit: Democracy in Crisis | Anthony Weston Brewster
1 post
This book is essential reading for both 'leavers' and 'remainers'. The author is a former senior police officer, and a 'senior police advisor' to government, who has undertaken a 'search for the truth', amidst all the political and media obfuscation. The events of the past few years have revealed a deep chasm between the democratic 'will of the people' and those they elect to represent them in the 'corridors of power' and the author has exposed the 'breath-taking' hypocrisy of many former leaders, who have contributed to our 'democracy in crisis'. The author has lost faith in former Prime Minister, John Major, who won the 1992 General Election with a minority of electoral votes, which is effectively the 'tyranny of the minority', and then refused to let the people vote on the 'crucial' Maastricht Treaty (1992), and now refers to the Brexit vote as the 'tyranny of the majority'. He has also lost faith in our once 'great' leader, Tony Blair, who said that 'things could only get better' and then took us into the disastrous Iraq War, which destabilised the Middle East, against the 'will of the people', and he now wants to stop Brexit and again ignore the 'will of the people'! He has also lost faith in the leaders of the Liberal Democrats, who want to Stop Brexit, and Nick Clegg, who wrote a book: Stop Brexit. So far as Jeremy Corbyn is concerned, the dubious leader of the Labour Party, the 'ultimate protestor', who was genetically opposed to the European Union, he has now undergone a 'Damascene Conversion', and wants another referendum, with an option to remain. This is political hypocrisy on a grand scale and those responsible for our 'democracy in crisis' must be held to account by the people they serve. The author, who wrote Smaller Government, Bigger People, Stronger Society (2015), is a strong proponent of a 'People's Democracy', rather than the sovereignty of a 'Parliamentary Democracy', which has shown that it cannot be trusted to represent the democratic 'will of the people'.
