This is a short
article, a brief
discussion in
relation to the
British Parliament
with William Pitt
the Younger
(28 May 1759 – 23
January 1806).
It was Pitt, who as
the Prime Minister
of Britain, oversaw
the resurgence of
Great Britain as a
naval power to
vanquish the hopes
and aspirations of a
French Empire under
the French Emperor,
Napoleon Bonaparte.
The discussion is
set in the year 2020
and it offers the
argument, perhaps
even the conclusion,
that the elected
government of
Britain is a
democratic
dictatorship.
The first English
Parliament came into
being in 1215 after
the signing of the
Magna Carta. The
first British
Parliament came into
being in the year
1707 after the
merger of the
Kingdom of Scotland
with the Kingdom of
England.
In the final
analysis, and if
it is the case that
democracy in the
true sense of the
word does not exist,
then Britain does
not stand alone in
the world. Many
countries,
especially in the
west, including the
United States of
America, have copied
and mirrored the
democratic elected
process of the
Government of
Britain. Of course
many of those
countries, unlike
Britain, no longer
have a King or Queen and are recognised
as Republics with a
President as their
Head of State.
