Whoever Comes After Starmer, Britain's Populist Revolt Will Only GrowNone of Starmer's Successors Appear to Understand Why Labour's Collapsing British people are now having to fund welfare benefits for 1.5 million people who are not even British citizens. One in six people claiming Universal Credit, according to freedom of information requests submitted to the Department for Work and Pensions, are not even British. Even more astonishingly, the British state just increased welfare payouts for ‘additional spouses’ who are in polygamous marriages that were registered overseas, despite bigamy being illegal here in Britain. Yes - that really happened. Second, nearly 600 Muslim sectarian candidates – who prioritise foreign conflicts and tribal allegiances over British issues and national loyalty – were elected to England’s councils last week, with the vast majority elected under a Green Party banner. |

@MarioNawfal · May 12, 11:30 AM · 112.3K views🇪🇺 Economist Richard Werner makes a pointed argument: the EU was modeled on the Soviet Union. The USSR had a parliament that looked democratic but couldn't initiate laws. Those came from the unelected Politburo. The EU has the same structure: the European Parliament mostly approves and amends, while the unelected European Commission holds the monopoly on initiating legislation. He also notes the timing. The Maastricht Treaty and the euro were rushed into existence almost immediately after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Werner isn't fringe. He's the economist who coined quantitative easing and predicted the 2008 financial crisis. Agree or not, the democratic deficit argument is hard to dismiss. |
