Stalin was not elected via any democratic mandate. Hitler shows the dangers. You cannot predict the future of the UK.

You can. You probably won't be right though.

[tomtomagain]

Constitutionally that is incorrect.

Sorry did I say Stalin. I meant Putin.

You can only predict the future.

Would be an Islamic state in a Month! America invading before XMAS (or the Holidays).

Slough
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!

Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.

Mess up the mess they call a town-
A house for ninety-seven down
And once a week a half a crown
For twenty years.

And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:

And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.

But spare the bald young clerks who add
The profits of the stinking cad;
It's not their fault that they are mad,
They've tasted Hell.

It's not their fault they do not know
The birdsong from the radio,
It's not their fault they often go
To Maidenhead

And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars
And daren't look up and see the stars
But belch instead.

In labour-saving homes, with care
Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
And dry it in synthetic air
And paint their nails.

Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough
To get it ready for the plough.
The cabbages are coming now;
The earth exhales.

Parliament represents the will of the people. If the people don't believe in it, it goes away. If it has no legitimacy it cannot operate.

Constitutionally that is incorrect.

This country cannot be hijacked by a small group of individuals.

Constitutionally it can.

Hitler was voted in, so was Stalin. But it won't happen in the UK.

Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

Apart from making a pedantic point about accuracy of my comment the reality is that it is very hard now for powers to be returned unless an extreme party (UKIP) is elected to power.

The difference between Parliament and government is significant.

It is not at all hard to repatriate powers. A single Act of Parliament is all that it would take.

[tomtomagain]

Because Parliament is supreme and if it wishes to act to disable democratic instruments, then it cannot be challenged constitutionally. Any challenge would be unconstitutional: e.g. military coup, popular revolution, general strike, appointment by the Privy Council of an interim administration. Any of these might be justified, but they would not be constitutionally justified.

Now, stop being so wrong.

Now stop being so negative on UK democracy. Hitler was voted in, so was Stalin. But it won't happen in the UK.

The UK government has given no powers away. The UK Parliament has, but it can at any point recall those powers.

Particularly with governments giving powers away to the EU.

The Scots will head faster towards abject poverty once they don't have the English bailing out the obese gits.

We need out free pies !!!

No. This is getting tedious.

Hitler was democratically voted in, so anything is possible

Particularly with governments giving powers away to the EU.
