I’ve noted before
that one outcome of the Brexit process has been the way in which those claiming
that the EU is ‘undemocratic’ have successfully, if entirely unintentionally,
exposed the extent to which the UK’s democracy is far from being as complete as
they would have us believe. Yesterday
saw another example. An elected MP (in this case the member for
the eighteenth century) has urged the Prime Minister (who we do not elect) to
tell the monarch (who we do not elect) to suspend the House of Commons (which
we do elect) in order to stop those who we do elect from over-ruling those who
we do not. And this, apparently, is to ‘protect
democracy’. And he did it – as he does
everything – with a straight face.
