Britain’s Egregious Democracy

“Egregious – Conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible; "a crying shame"; "an egregious lie"; "flagrant violation of human rights"; "a glaring error"; "gross ineptitude"; "gross injustice"; "rank treachery".
It comes just after the most embarrassing English defeat against Germany since Dunkirk that the sheer ineptness of our democracy is displayed by wars spiralling out of control around our sovereign nation; with most of our territories falling into failed blocks; and with isolated new colonies in Ireland that we will inevitably loose to superiorly organised military campaigns led by EDEN, spearheaded by Poland in Scotland. The timing of these disastrous events, during our legislative elections for the House of Commons, means that the absolutely appalling ambiguity of the game mechanics reiterates itself with the presentation of the least justified representation of the British people ever recorded in the game.
With three candidates gaining entry to the British Legislature on no votes; and all but three non-wildcard candidates not securing a mandate anywhere near above 20 votes, I beg the question – just how legitimate is our new House of Commons in genuinely being considered worthy enough to have jurisdiction over the decisions of the country? How can this radically smaller Commons, of which most of whom have barely any democratic authority, hold our government to account? With this weak parliamentary term; how can we expect the dignity of parliament to continue now that the only safeguard against a radical commons was the House of Lords; now casually removed and replaced by a near infinitesimal ‘senior committee’ which will have barely any real ability to prevent a dangerously inexperienced Commons?
I would certainly hope that any Prime Ministerial candidate worth his salt would have the reinstallation of the House of Lords on his parliamentary agenda.

First denied.
Not to mention that fortress London has broke our democracy. 😕
It's all done by mobile voters anyway. Don't try to pretend Commons has ever been democratic.
@Dendodge: Well it used to be, but not since the invasion.
I have always held that the fortress London policy has damaged our democracy; however I still believe it was, and still is, the best decision to make.
AGREED

Horice 🙂
The ebb and flow of war often alters the elections.
Its not a breakdown in democracy, its a change of circumstance brought upon by military initiatives. Fortress London was an example of this, as was the NL swaps.
Either way, when V2 arrives the changing hospital rules will mean people will probably move back and this will be a non issue.
House of Commons isn't inexperienced IMO - it contains many new members who have proved interesting from all sides and this should be welcomed with open arms.
People will come and go and we have to have our replacements ready to take up the baton when we move onto other things. As for the elected members with 0 votes; I'm not happy with it personally (I was wanting to fight a 12 region country and couldn't). eRepublik does what it does as we all know by now.
My fellow members of TUP and PCP I fear we may have made a mistake. We should reconsider our vote on the lords. Let's bring it back, stuff it full of UK-Left life peers, give them the power of indefinite veto of any bill, slap a 100% abolishment or amendment clause in, and we are sorted 😛
iiIii
bye dears english!
