Robert Jenrick, in the London Daily Telegraph, fears that the inevitable Starmer Government in the United Kingdom will enact a “second Blairite revolution”. (Jenrick is a former Tory Minister).

This is not democracy. Democracy is where the members of parliament gather and talk until a bill is resolved. Unfortunately this can be influenced on party lines - the first enemy of democracy.
The practice of outsourcing legislation to beurocrats who are not elected by the people and have assured job security, has resulted in a ten fold annual increase in regulations without an increase in the number of bills. What that means is that bills are ten times longer and there is no public discussion.
The word Parliament mean talking heads and should be done where the people have access. That is democracy.
The labour parties in this modern world have assumed their role is to control every facet of human life and that is leading to a total assault of our. Basic privacy - of family, of fun, of relationships, bodily integrity and worship. This direction can only lead yo total slavery to the system.
