Independents day might be coming

Western Daily Press, 12 June 2024, p. 19

Independence Day – July 4 – is celebrated by Americans who rejected British establishment rule.

They produced, instead, what has become the oldest, most copied constitution the world has ever known, with three branches of government providing checks and balances on power, which gives a level of transparency to government.

The British establishment has changed little since 1776. It is in secrecy where the power of an unwritten constitutional monarchy like ours resides, and the British are fed up with it.

Is this an open goal for the people to elect our own Independents? We could therefore enact the world’s first completely bloodless revolution with the stroke of a pen and establish our very own Independence Day.
