Scottish Civil War
Now we recently spoke on the dissolution of Scottish support for the Scottish Nationalist Party. Most would think it'd be time to cool off the pen on the topic for a few weeks, but here we are again and it's escalated. The Scottish Nationalist Party's Holyrood leader the First Minister who didn't receive a single vote for re-election has refused to step down to allow for the massive groundswell of the liberal democrats to take over claiming a mandate by the King granting him power to remain as Premier despite the fact that the Scottish Nationalists did not win a single seat.
There's two possibilities present in this situation. The first being that there is no mandate behind him, and the King is simply too daft or naive to speak up or to intervene to allow for the new Liberal-Democratic government to fulfill the mandate they were clearly elected to by the people winning a stupid amount of seats in Holyrood.
The second and what is appearing much more likely is there is very much a mandate by the crown to subvert democracy. Since when has the crown backed itself from the will of the British public. It's always been public understanding that the former Royalist Party was designed to de facto turn the King into the Head of Government and the Head of State. On several occasions the last Royalist Prime Minister stated when asked questions on policy that he'd have to speak to the monarch to find his will before speaking his public. Though it is important that government and sovereign don't openly oppose each other the elected members of government should hold an equal or superior opinion to that of a man with zero accountability to the populist short of open revolution.
The separation of powers first envisioned by Montesquieu and Cromwell are already under blatant attack. The Queen Mother sits in the House of Commons with the Heir apparent in opposition to Reed's conservative government. This doesn't matter however though because Parliament will continue enabling the crown to strengthen itself at it's own expense as it's always done and will always do. If it continues soon parliament will be a shell and a autocratic Tsar will reside in Buckingham.
So over the next few weeks we'll see how it plays out. Will the Scottish voters win and remove the Scottish Nationalists from office and allow the properly elected Liberal-Democrats to enter government and fulfill the mandate as dictated to them or will Scotland be killed by the nepotism, cronyism and hatred for democracy and civil liberties that's present in Westminster and Buckingham?
