English Yokel

James, thanks for a wider audience

You might recall that Yokel started his blog because he was fed up with the self serving ruling elite (and their sycophants) doing their own thing (eg signing up to the EU), regardless of the wishes of the ordinary people of the country. Since that time, Yokel's representative in the Westminster parliament hasn't yet changed party, but that might just be a co-incidence.

For a short time (until CCHQ make an obvious change or two) it might be possible to email the whole of the Parliamentary Press Lobby at DailyLobby@conservatives.com . Thanks James. Could we invite the lobby journalists to reveal to their readers that the Westminster parliament is in the process of signing its own death warrant? For the ever greater direct involvement of our National government (in Brussels) with the Regions (that were formerly part of the Province previously known as England) will render the body that meets at Westminster completely redundant. Perhaps it will be retained as a tourist attraction, possibly also as a device for hoodwinking the gullible voters. In reality though it will just be a rubber stamp, quite like the Soviet Dumas of Stalin's time.

Its a shame, because the Provinces formerly known by the joint title of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland once took great pride in their parliament. Considered it a model for others to adopt. But then times pass, and as our previous Great Leader (one Anthony Bliar) said we must "modernise, modernise modernise", or something similar. So we must not hang on to the past. Instead let us look to the future and rely on the European Parliament, with its great traditions of democracy doing what its managers tell it to do. Oh no, another Stalinesque Soviet Dumas! Can't get away from them!
