Good question! Its wise to take notice of history because nothing is ever permanent. Change doesn't happen through good will and generosity but through struggle and sacrifice, but as far as our illusionary democracy where hundreds and thousands of people have to queue to eat food from food banks or live under the shame of not having work and being on benefits, they are not yet ready for the fight.
Its shameful to think that over a thousand individuals worth over £500 billion have such huge influence on how British society is structured. The biggest fear for ruling class Britain is a revolution and this is why political marches are so heavily constrained. A democratic revolution is long overdue.
Britain should be a country run by the people who keep it ticking and not by those with the wealthiest backers. A true democracy is possible but only if a broad enough section of our society become confident enough and inspired enough about its realization.
