Britain, as many will know, is a Constitutional Monarchy. Although power is ultimately derived from the Crown, the Crown’s powers are wielded by Parliament and have been so for many years. Of the two houses of Parliament, the elected one, the Commons, is the superior despite the House of Lords being referred to as the Upper House.

Briton’s elect members of Parliament to be our representatives, not it needs to be said, delegates who have no agency of their own and who have to follow the strict instructions of those who sent them to the House. Although MP’s can act according to their own conscience without reference to the electorate, it is generally accepted that MP’s should be mindful of the public mood in their constituency and represent the views of the public and act in the best interests of the public. We saw during the Brexit turmoil what happens to MP’s like Anna Soubry who went against the expressed wishes of her Brexit voting constituency by stating that she wanted Britain to remain in the EU, she not only got voted out of office, but was electorally humiliated.

Maybe it is electoral humiliation and annihilation that should await our current bunch of unrepresentative ‘representatives’ who currently occupy the green benches of the House of Commons? After all they’ve failed Britons, who are facing a situation where our liberties have been eviscerated and the prospect of four million unemployed due to the Government’s mishandling of the Covid situation. Rather than represent the growing number of people who are starting to question how this situation has been managed and speaking up about the damage that government policies have done to both the economy and British society, by voting against the extension of the Government’s emergency covid dictatorial powers, instead they trooped sheep-like through the Yes lobby.

I’ve looked at the names of those who have said ‘yes’ to giving Hancock and Johnson more undeserved and unnecessary powers over the lives of Britons and what I see are MP’s who make a lot of noise about liberty, but when the chips are down, refuse to defend it. MP’s who have previously been vocal about the damage that is being done to Britain and to Britons, such as Steve Baker, didn’t put their money or their careers where there mouths were and vote against the Government. Also meekly submitting to the Government were those who have in the past made many statements that could be taken as somewhat libertarian in nature. I was disgusted and angered to see names such as Sir David Amess, Sir William Cash, David Davies, Michael Fabricant and others who many of us could and should have expected to stand up for liberty acting like whipped curs and cowering before the government.

It is now plain to see that despite many Tory MP’s protestations that they are in favour of free markets, free speech and for Britain and Britons to be free, in reality the believe bugger all of the sort. It is now also obvious that whatever these MP’s have said in the past regarding things like liberty, free speech and free markets, are just purveyors of empty words. We now have a considerable amount of proof now that the Tories cannot be trusted with our future or our liberties. I would most strongly advise you to look at the list linked below to find out whether your MP voted for you and your liberties or to conserve what is best about Britain, or whether they are merely abject cowards.

The list of those who voted against the government is much smaller but still makes interesting reading. The Lib Dems, although they have very few MP’s, voted en masse against the Government’s failing and failed covid policies. For Labour, MP’s whom I and others have criticised in the past for race baiting, such as Dawn Butler the MP for Brent in London, not only voted against it but made a public statement why they did so. Ms Butler said that she could not in good conscience vote with the Government and with the Labour whip. She, quite rightly in my view, said that the Government has ‘undermined democracy’. I may have had many disagreements over some of the things that Ms Butler has said in the past, but she is 100% correct to stand up for freedom and against the accelerating tyranny of Hancock and Johnson’s regime and policies.

There were very few Conservative Party MP’s who actually had the balls to stand up to the Government, something that I believe speaks volumes about how the Tory party is now little more than a clownworld party made up of supine hacks. Those Tories who did speak up should be praised for staying the course and voting against the Government’s Covid laws. These Tory MP’s are:

Peter Bone
Philip Davies
Philip Hollobone
Esther McVey
Sir Desmond Swayne
Sir Charles Walker

These are the names who have stood up for you and me and for actual rather than twisted science.

In addition to Dawn Butler there were five other Labour MP’s who had the balls to defy their party’s whip and vote against the government. 9 Lib Dems and one Green voted against the Government and there were a number of abstentions including 23 Tories, 8 Democratic Unionists and three Independents. Some of the Tory abstentions were of Cabinet rank and of course the Deputy Speakers did not, by convention, vote.

Labour missed a serious opportunity to embarrass the Government and also to show themselves as in favour of the liberties of Britons. 194 Labour MP’s didn’t vote in this vitally important division. If Labour cynically believes that there is some political capital to be gained by standing by and letting the Tories drive the UK into the ground economically and socially. Personally I think that this course of action was a mistake. It just makes Labour look a mixture of grossly cynical and incredibly weak. Pushback from the Labour Party would, on this occasion, have been welcomed, even by those of us who are small c conservatives.

All of us, whether we are White or Black Britons, whether we are gay, bi or straight or even socially liberal or socially conservative, have been let down by the current Government. Worst of all we’ve been let down and treated like dog crap by regular Members of Parliament who by convention we should have expected to have stood up and held the Government to account, after all that is the primary job of a backbench MP.

After the debacle and authoritarianism that the Government has created and shown over Covid, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot in all good conscience vote for the Conservatives in any future General Election. They have been utterly dishonest to us and have misrepresented their views, they care little for liberty and everything about keeping their own positions. The Tory Party’s MP’s have spoken with visible forked tongues and I will no longer support this party any more. I’m willing to see my local seat turn Lib Dem or Labour (a likely future prospect it seems) rather than keep the current Tory MP in his position. Instead, I’m going to vote for someone or something else. I might vote for an Independent if I like their views. I might vote for the Heritage Party or the new Reclaim Party if they stand in my area, but I will not and in all good conscience cannot, vote for the Tories. We’ve seen the Tory Party lie time after time about matters like immigration for example, they promise much but deliver almost nothing. Tory MP’s have shown that they are also quite prepared to bullshit us with regards to covid restrictions as well. They no longer deserve the votes of anyone but the moronical.

If nothing else, the current travails that we are going through shows that we need new politicians and the current lot should be disposed of at election time. They should be treated with the sort of disgust that we would feel for a dog turd on a pair of new shoes and be dealt with in a similar manner by being scraped away from their cushy positions and their £80k+ salaries.

Parliament let us all down yesterday and we should not forget that. We should remember that today, tomorrow and at election time.
