Britain and America’s system of ‘democracy’ in which the least unpopular parties are elected (57% voted against Labour during the last General Election) is on the verge of collapse. Who says so?

None other than Frank Field MP, one of the Labour Party’s brightest stars. The former welfare reform supremo singled out the mayoral election to make his point. Mr Field also pointed out that ‘for the first time in modern British political history the votes piled up for someone unaligned to a political party – a free radical.’

He warned that this sets an example and leaves the door open for other charismatic (Jorg Hailder?) leaders to challenge the undemocratic, unrepresentative and unaccountable mainstream parties.

He said Tony Blair’s ‘New Labour Party’ was ‘alien’ to its traditional socialist supporters and suggests that ‘the British form of ‘democracy’ is at the beginning of a new era’.

VOTERS TURNING TO RACIAL NATIONALISM

He prophesied that this could manifest itself in one of two ways: massive apathy or an historic realignment where a significant proportion of voters will ‘look for a more nationalistic base to which to transfer their loyalty’.

This is party speak of course for history repeating itself. The equally undemocratic Weimar Republic similarly left the door open for the emergence of the more democratic and accountable National Socialist German Workers Party of Adolf Hitler. This was the first historic realignment in which the electorate, betrayed by rotating pseudo-democratic dictatorships, massively rejected the old parties.

This is a clear warning that a popular leader outside of mainstream politics, articulating popular nationalist (racial) interests could sweep the old parties aside.
