The only purpose of a constitution is to protect the individual from abuse by government.
From that point of departure how can democracy be anything other than a hijacked constitution?
What became apparent over recent weeks is that the UK version of democracy and the attempts to constitutionalise reform through a referendum has, once again, afforded the rabble-rousers, the busy-bodies and those seeking socialist dogma an opportunity to create chaos. Democracy tends to kleptocracy and chaos. Anarchy, presumed to be a chaotic structure, is in fact the only intellectually stable form of society, whereby the individual's rights are paramount.
The call from the left has always been to seek reform and control. Reforming what exactly? The blame for the recession and the economic slow down has been blamed on the free market. Not so, the blame for the chaos in the UK at least is the taxation of success and the use of that money - our money - to reward failure and create a kleptocracy of public sector. Only governments can cause economic depressions and funny money. Lower tax rates, a reduction in the burden of government, and elimination of kleptocracy are the only way to boost growth. The only purpose of government is to protect citizens from criminals. Public services should be abolished.
But what would replace public services? Entrepreneurs, innovators and free thinking free markets are the proper replacement.
Today, the morning after, demonstrates what exactly? Will the UK have AV or not? Are the main political groups rejoicing or weeping? What is for sure is that because of ineptitude, socialism and left wing dogma, the UK is still in austerity measures, and still trying to recover from an overindulged public sector that creates what exactly?
