Future Uncertain: An Understatement

We seem about to embark on a peculiar and entirely unnecessary democratic conflict which pits parliament against the people. But that is itself impossible because parliament IS the people. It is the only part of the whole structure of central government which is elected by the people, who send their representatives to Westminster to protect their interests FROM the executive, which represents power vested by the Monarch from her reservoir of absolute power over everything.

We now are undergoing a Cummings/Gove/Boris driven redefinition which makes the executive the voice of the people and parliament their adversary. This means the Monarch is for the people against the parliament, which is the people. Get your head around that. It is important because if you let it stand through our muli-tflexing constitution by creating precedent for the future, you will remove democratic power from the people. Instead they will vest power in whoever is successful in grabbing it.

One wonders if Downing Street knows what it is doing. I very much fear it does know exactly.
