Reply #56: Parliaments are not necessarily any better

[julianer]

It is merely a form of government that is suitable for capitalism. Indeed the structures of government and law have evolved to meet the needs of capital.

In feudal times kings and barons ruled but, with the development of financial systems and banking the forms of government were restrictive of capital and had to go. So the 'glorius revolution' of 1688 in England, the French revolution of 1789 and of course the American revolution were all about changing the forms of government to allow wealthy non-kings and non-barons to rise to the top of the economic and political pile.

We don't need more parliamentary systems - we need democracy that is representative of people rather than representative of capital. In short we need an end to capitalism.
