Our politicians glibly justify ever rising taxes or another law restricting our liberties by pointing to western countries, guessing rightly that people will see such changes as beneficial because western countries are so wealthy. We hope that they have been watching the rapid smooth change in administration in Britain this week, especially since a lot of our laws, and the civil service, are a continuation of colonial British practices. This came about because in 2013 the former Prime Minister, David Cameron promised a referendum on continuing membership of the European Union, to unite the Conservative Party and to stop traditional Tory supporters from voting for the UK Independence Party, led by Nigel Farage, which wanted to exit the EU. Cameron's strategy was a great success in that he won an absolute majority in parliament, which meant that he was set for another 5 years as prime minister. However, he had promised a referendum, which was held on 23 June. Cameron campaigned strenuously for the Remain camp and was expected to win, but when the reult was declared the Leave camp had won. Here is where we want our polticians to pay particular attention to events as they unfolded after the result was declared. 1. David Cameron promptly resigned his post as Prime Minister, showing a sense of honor and pride. Our politicians cling on and on, as we grow tired of their ugly corrupt old faces tainting our televisions screens. Regardless of charges of serious crimes or scandalous behavior or after being booted out in elections they hang around completely shameless in their dishonor and may even beg their way into that dustbin of rejected politicians, the Rajya Sabha. 2. Five people stood for the leadership of the Conservative Party but within a week we have Theresa May as Prime Minister. As soon as her victory was confirmed Cameron met the Queen to resign his post and promptly moved out of 10 Downing Street, the official residence, with his family and May moved in. Unlike our lot who refuse to give up their official residences with excuses, whining and begging, their armor plated skins oblivious to the intense disgust of the people. 3. Theresa May has appointed her cabinet, consisting of 22 people. We have 78 ministers. Why? Just to please the toadies and bag-carriers at taxpayer expense? 4. Surprisingly, May has appointed Boris Johnson, who was expected to be the Prime Minister, before being stabbed in the back by his mate, Michael Gove, as Foreign Secretary. Perhaps a case of 'keep your enemies closer'. She has fired the powerful Notting Hill set but they will not go off to form a breakaway party, like our lot are prone to do. What do we do? A summary of events since 24 June should be shown to MPs when parliament meets at the start of the monsoon session. But will they learn?
