How many times have I said over the years that Democracy and even a written Constitution is no protection against tyranny. Look at Nazi Germany, and America today.
We may well be looking at a Marxist government in the UK in a months time if the media is right and May is planning a snap election to keep out Borris or whoever will throw their hat into the ring.
So if Democracy and a Constitution will not protect us what will? Education and philosophy but that takes generations and we only have a short time frame so the prognostication is not good if you do the math.
A written Constitution could do it but it would have to flow from the education and philosophy and time is not on our side is it? The Founding Fathers laid the foundations but there were glaring ommissions in the text and lots was implied and but not spelled out. It was the lacunae, the omissions that led to its breach and the collectivists and statist rushed in and Europeanized it into a quasi welfare state which Trump has no clue or inkling of, let alone ability to reverse but is exacerbating it with further state encroachments and individual rights violations, not to mention his nomination of a right wing judge to the Supreme Court who it turns out was a sexual predator in his youth -like attracts like - and may soon be attempting if nodded thru to reverse Roe v Wade.
Do I have ought for your cheer gentle reader? Watch this space I guess.
