The UK is a 'Democracy'?
Can you please remind me again when the Royal Family were elected by the British people?

Pretty sure you'll find that it was far from a universal electorate ion those times.point nine one eight wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 11:29 amAfter the death of the "Great Protecter" and father of "Democracy" Oliver Cromwell, the House Parliament eventually asked Prince Charles 1st son to return to England to become Charles 2nd. so there must have been a vote in the "House of CommonsDisoriented wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 9:04 pmOr Cummings, the real king on the throne.NuneatonO's wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 9:02 pm

It stood for democracy in those times as you full well know, your just being pedantic and awkward for the fun of itEH16 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 12:48 pmPretty sure you'll find that it was far from a universal electorate ion those times.point nine one eight wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 11:29 amAfter the death of the "Great Protecter" and father of "Democracy" Oliver Cromwell, the House Parliament eventually asked Prince Charles 1st son to return to England to become Charles 2nd. so there must have been a vote in the "House of Commons

Re: double standards I think
You're confusing being factually accurate with pedantry. I suggest you use some of your spare time to look at a dictionary. Cromwell may well have been the father of democracy but the then parliament was, as I pointed out, a long way from being democratic. And, I would argue, it still is.point nine one eight wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 2:29 pmIt stood for democracy in those times as you full well know, your just being pedantic and awkward for the fun of itEH16 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 12:48 pmPretty sure you'll find that it was far from a universal electorate ion those times.point nine one eight wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 11:29 am

Re: double standards I think
As I said, for those times it was democracy, a young fledgling one at that, you are comparing to today's version which is unfair, you would argue just for the sake of it, as for your silly comment implying we are a long war from democracy. read your historyEH16 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 3:27 pmYou're confusing being factually accurate with pedantry.

as to what this nation has brought to the world, nearly all versions of democracy are based on what we brought table as opposed to those other bastions of democracy Russia, China and all Totalitarian states, Scotland included

You can't say that about Scotland.

Re: double standards I think
Sorry, your post is a bit garbled so, just to be clear, are you saying Scotland is a totalitarian state?. A simple yes or no is all that is required.point nine one eight wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 9:00 pmAs I said, for those times it was democracy, a young fledgling one at that, you are comparing to today's version which is unfair, you would argue just for the sake of it, as for your silly comment implying we are a long war from democracy. read your historyEH16 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 3:27 pmYou're confusing being factually accurate with pedantry.

Re: double standards I think
It's now clear you can neither read nor construct a rational argument so I have no need to infer my superiority - it becomes self evident. For the rest of the boarders anyway, you can continue to wallow in ignorance.point nine one eight wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 2:51 amIt was simply tacked on the end as bait for our scotishland readers and Max B Gold and Stillspike duly took the baitEH16 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 5:56 pmSorry, your post is a bit garbled so, just to be clear, are you saying Scotland is a totalitarian state?.
