Second Draft of the Electors Charter
[0.1] Introduction
Tony Blair (British Prime Minister 1997-2007)
We are not the masters. The People are the masters. We are the servants of the People… What the electorate gives, the electorate can take away. (1997)
Masters, yes! Necessarily. For, politicians can never be fully trusted. In democracy, the People are supreme. Free people decide their government.
A massive fraud has taken place. Democracy has been avoided and denied. The British people have been forced to submit to the rule of the European Union without consultation, undeniable agreement or confirming vote. Fraud, being fraud, can never be legal. Parliament cannot legalize its own democratic illegality.
It is as if a lawyer, acting in the name of a client, had forged his signature, transferring title rights to his friends and access to his wealth, in perpetuity. Then, made him accountable to them. Insisting all was legal as he was his representative!
Parliament represents the People. They say! But, it has transferred resources and powers to the European Union for decades, plus adjudication rights to its courts, deliberately without “the whole-hearted consent of the British People”. (Prime Minister Edward Heath, 1970)
Many despair. They say fatalistically, “This is what elites have always done!”
There are fresh answers, however, within democracy. The sovereignty of the People can be exercised in quite unexpected ways. For example, by this counter-Charter for electoral power in new forms. It returns supremacy to those who lend it: the People. It wrenches it back from those who steal it: Parliament and the EU. It develops democracy beyond what it now is. All from the innate authority of the People, their innovation and votes.
This second draft edition is subject to correction, improvement and addition by any Elector believing in the need of democracy, with all its imperfections.
Contrary to imposed, government Charters, this Charter starts as a consultation channel. Its end face will be very different from now. It works towards the goal of a Magna Carta of Democracy for the 21st Century, from the People to those privileged by them to govern. It can become one of their controlling, corrective mechanisms. It gathers public support and approval throughout the democratic world.
The Charter Text, 2nd Draft follows soon.
