Latest elections show how deeply socialist Britain has become
London, England-In a referendum held last week, Britain decided to keep its traditional first past the post national electoral system, but local council elections held in tandem have exposed just how far the leftist creep of statism has imbedded itself and is well on the way to destroying the progress Thatcherism brought to the country.
The referendum on the electoral system was the price the country was forced to pay as part of the deal Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg struck up with the Conservatives to form a government. The country gave a definite ‘no’ to the complicated proposed system with a 70 per cent majority.

London, England-I switch on the TV and there’s an image of a huge van with a tarpaulin draped over its side covering a delivery of plants to Westminster Abbey that are intended for the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The BBC reporter is animated, expectation peppering his voice as he plays the guessing game of will it or won’t it be the oak trees that have been rumoured to have been ordered to reflect the acorns in the brand new coat of arms that the Middleton's have been granted by the College of Arms. Someone goes to lift the tarp, no - false alarm, seconds pass, more chatter, the tarp is lifted and halleluiah there are oaks! Welcome to the media madness that is now in full force here in the UK.
