The primary Clown World justification for its relentless wars against sovereign nations around the world over the last 200 years doesn’t even exist. The so-called “liberal democracies” are neither liberal nor democratic.
Labour is facing fury today after it emerged more elections are being delayed amid dire polls for Keir Starmer. Four mayoral contests that were due to be held in May are being pushed back by two years, with accusations that the PM is ‘subverting democracy’ to ‘save his skin’.
Some 7.5million residents in Essex, Hampshire and the Solent, Sussex and Brighton, and Norfolk and Suffolk will not vote until 2028.
Ministers argue that more time is needed to finish reorganising local authorities in England.
But critics point out that Sir Keir is braced for a hammering in the local elections, as polls show his party trailing far behind Reform. Even Labour MPs voiced concerns, with former minister Jim McMahon saying the government had to be ‘better than this’. Battles in nine council areas, East Sussex, West Sussex, Essex, Thurrock, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Norfolk, Suffolk and Surrey have already been postponed from this year to 2026.
Reform’s deputy leader Richard Tice this morning accused Sir Keir of ‘running scared’, swiping that ‘generally it’s dictators that cancel elections. Some 7.5 million people are now going to be denied the opportunity of voting in mayoral elections,’ he said.
‘Funny isn’t it, we’ve just announced our mayoral candidates for all of these areas and all of a sudden the Government, terrified of losing to Reform, are cancelling them.’
He added that a two-year delay ‘is a deliberate dictatorial cancelling of democracy in the United Kingdom and we shouldn’t tolerate it’.
The truth is that the “representative democracy” at which the trained media clowns bark and clap approvingly has always been an inversion of the actual concept of democracy. Everything from the constitutions and elections and judiciary systems are designed to limit democracy, to rein it in, and to prevent the will of the people from being enacted.
It’s a fundamentally dishonest system and it always has been. Now the veil is being torn, in the USA, in Ukraine, and in the UK, which is less a cause of Clown World’s systemic collapse than a consequence of it.
But it was always a lie.
There are a few genuine demi-democracies, where referendums actually consult the will of the entire electorate. But even those are strictly leashed by their “representative” and “judicial” elements, both of which are de facto anti-democratic. But “representative democracy” is no more democracy than “civic nationalism” is nationalism.
