I’ve just seen the screenshot below over on Gab. There has been a petition organised via the Parliamentary Petitions Office that calls for a debate on the problem of illegal migration and for the removal of illegal migrants.
I’m not holding out much hope that this debate will air the issues that concern so very many Britons. I’m too much of a Parliamentary cynic, despite being a supporter of the concept of Parliamentary government, to believe that the Left, both the admitted Left in Labour and the crypto-Left that dominate both the Tories and the Lib Dems these days, will give this petition a fair hearing or even a fair debate. I will be pleasantly surprised if this happens.
Instead what I predict will happen will be that those Parliamentarians who despise those who vote for them and keep them via taxation in the manner to which they’ve become accustomed, will use the debate as an opportunity to virtue-signal and to criticise those who signed this petition. I suspect that what we will see is a gaggle of MP’s popping up to speak and to denounce the petition, those who signed it and those who allowed it to be published. We shall probably see MP’s, some of whom rarely speak in the Chamber jumping up to talk about ‘muh diversity’ or sharing some heartwarming story of a ‘refugee’ who came here as an illegal but got residence and made good in their constituency. In short there is a strong possibility that the Parliamentarians that we elect in order to represent us, will tell us to sod off and enjoy the unwanted imports.
If that happens, but I hope it does not, then I hope that it wakes up many who only see politics in the form of a duality of Tories and Labour and allows them to see just how badly these parties are representing us the British people. Political power resides in those who sit on the Green Benches of the House of Commons and to a lesser extent to those who sit in the Lords. However, ultimately the power lies with us to fill those Green Benches in the Commons, via the electoral system. I hope that any display of petulant hatred by members of the Commons of those Britons who have signed this petition and who are rightly concerned about matters pertaining to immigration, will break Britons from their reliance on the current political duality. Will the current occupants of the Green Benches show that they are willing to listen to us, or do we need to get organised and replace them with new people from new parties? We will have to wait until October 19th to find out.
