Constitutional Expert Warns About The Dangers Of Too Much Democracy.


Professor Vernon Bogdanor, from the Institute of Cotemporary History at Kings College London and pictured above, has warned that reform of the House of Lords might make Britain more "difficult" to govern. The professor, a so-called expert on the effectively non-existant British constitution, was, coincidentaly, David Cameron's tutor and described the Tory politician as "one of the ablest" students he ever taught. We asked our own political expert for his comments; "If David Cameron was one of the professor's most "ablest" students can you imagine what the others must have been like? When Bogdanor talks about government being more "difficult" what he's actually saying is that government is easier the less democracy there is. Government is not suposed to be easy - its supposed to be difficult in order to guard against tyranny. Ask the Libyans, Egyptians and Syrians what its like to live in a country where government is "easy." With morons like this teaching our future politicians no wonder the country is in the mess it is." We asked a Tory party spokesperson for their view; "The professor is quite right. If we have an elected House of Lords there is always the danger that they too will have a mandate and might disagree with the government. That would make some of our more nasty policies even more difficult to inflict on the peasants and that would never do. There's already too much democracy in this country, what with elections, other parties, this bloody Coalition and all that nonsense. What we need is a one-party democracy where opposition can be safely ignored and the scum in this country do as they're told."
