Rob Reiner: "...the Revolutionary War will have been fought for nothing."

[gembaby1]

17. Please...I have very firm opinions on this event.

The ‘revolutionary’ war was so all upper class white men with property could have say in how their taxes were spent.

It was all for nothing for the majority of the people and it was only one third of the population who actively supported it.

You go on about monarchy but that way of ruling a country has been completely neutered. The Queen is only supposed to be the head of state now, not government. She isn’t allowed to have political opinions or put her thumb on the scale unless asked by the Prime Minister to do it and that has to be for an extremely special reason.

It’s the elected Prime Minister and all the rest of the elected MPs that run the government. They make up the cabinet and the loyal opposition. All are elected, none appointed.

This is the House of Commons. Whereas the senate everywhere should be abolished because it is deeply undemocratic and only rubber stamps bills. It’s a relic of the past for monied privileged white men with property so that the rabble don’t get out of control with their democratic aspirations.
