What we are increasingly seeing within Europe and the west generally is a globally administered system of international finance capital. Power is continually been moved to the collective group think instead of only being the remit of individual national governments. National governments are at this point an almost vestigial remnant of a bygone era. Real power is exercised through heavily funded NGOs, financial investment companies and media. Weak national governments that completely abdicate responsibility for the culture and work for the financial ambitions of global interests are exactly what finance capital wants, and has achieved. Sunak is their man and that's why his rise has been rapid and eased. A Johnson, who while still a globalist retains elements of populism and individualism is by comparison opposed far more strongly. It’s really the perfect system of global tyranny, because even if by some miracle a populist movement breaks through and gains the power of your state, they can assemble all of these other countries enthralled to finance capital to oppose them and for example, do what they did to Greece where that populist movement was gutted despite not losing power....or indeed, before Greece do what they did to Germany and Ireland.....which are now little more than client cuck nations.

. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was that they made commitments to honour the result and were afraid of backtracking despite the knowledge there had been tampering and the closeness. Parliament failed to do their duty aided by Corbyn’s personal distaste and ambition. He, every bit as much as Farage, is the villain in the Brexit pantomime. So what you’re saying is Brexit was enacted because MPs were scared to upset Joe Public !

Johnson called the 2019 election because Parliament, and especially Cornbyn, failed to do their duty. They could, and should, have ousted him, put in place a short-term PM and government, held a second confirmatory referendum and then started some serious negotiations with the EU the result of which could be presented before a GE. Johnson won because of a marketing slogan, devised by the odious Cummings, "Get Brexit done". That's no way to run a country. Populism replacing serious consideration of the facts has brought us this disaster and the sooner we collectively reverse our stupidity the better. That damned electorate not conforming to your wishes yet again.

Leaving the dross, in the Western Roman Empire, to be defiled by North Africans and Germans. Leaving Italy as a disparate mess until Garibaldi invented a biscuit that pulled them all together over a 1,000yrs later. Perhaps paraphrasing an English cultural tome, "1066 and all that".

Pretty good historical summary. Byzantine Constantinople would have been by and large a great place to live.

Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Feb 2023 1.19am) Do enlighten us. From which of the basement boy political "experts" you use for your political rationals did you glean this liturgy of twisted logic? We live in an ever more interconnected and smaller world. That results in interdependence and the growth of institutions and businesses which operate globally. That just is. It wasn't planned and isn't in the control of any government. Governments need to work together themselves to ensure that the ultimate control remains with their peoples, so they do. When people like you actively resist such co-operations, making the kind of comments above is, to say the least, ironic. You complain about globalism. You complain about the EU. You complain about the WEF. I complain about people like you.

So what you’re saying is Brexit was enacted because MPs were scared to upset Joe Public ! That is too simplistic. Some were brave and did their duty, knowing full well they would end their careers in so doing. Others genuinely believed Brexit was wise. Others preserved their careers by following the party whip. Corbyn was the ace. If he had stood aside and allowed a new leader to whip Labour into supporting a confirmatory vote, things would be very different today.

The bottom line of which ultimately means that we must modernise our voting system to ensure that the people we choose don't let us down
