...over the last 45 years, the UK government seems to have drifted further away from the electorate, hence my enquiry.
Or, one might note... more or less ongoing since Magna Carta ?
American's... perhaps best seen as erstwhile British subjects... as expats who've unfortunately gone native ?
The division, as aired in Commons at the time, was not deeply ideological in its origins... but driven ONLY by the refusal of the crown to acknowledge American's equal status as subjects ? With a less myopic leadership... the insanity of King George III perhaps a perfect mirror for Americans today... the world might have been a very different place than it is ? I would posit that George III's natural (?) limitations were less an influence on the continuity of British domestic and imperial rule than Biden's are proving already.
But, the British Empire still lives ? It perhaps matters far less to the average British subject living in the U.K. now, in its current form, than it did in days past... For Americans it is occasionally jarring to observe it emerge, as it has recently in Trudeau's slavish obeisances...
Elizabeth... and then... the abyss ?
The parallel to Biden... in the dullard that is Charles... the weight un-borne already crushing him ?
If bankers were a more nostaligic lot... perhaps a somewhat more well groomed U.K. would be set to become the 51st state... or, the 51st, 52nd, and 53rd... and... hmmm... yeah... no... that probably won't work... without creating quite a few more independent countries... not that there's anything wrong with that.
Instead... they seek a "return" to a world ruled by Florence... only, one without borders... as if the lines in the sand are what define the lines in our differences... making them easy to abolish in function and obviate in import of what they represent ?
So, really... it is only borders that prevent socialism from "being all it can be" ? LOL!!! |
