Well, maybe, or maybe not, but certainly the key players remain the same even if all three of them are today under new leadership.

"One has to recognise that we have entered into the most dangerous period in the known history of civilization"   - check.

"We are at the point of a general breakdown crisis of the entirety of the transatlantic region, especially the north transatlantic region"   - check.

"The only alternative is to shift the centre of attention from the disaster in the transatlantic region to the optimism we can hope for from the transpacific region"   - check.

I could go on, but you get the drift.

"What is collapsing today, is not an economy, but a vast financial bubble, a bubble whose chief economic expression is the U.S. financial system’s role as ‘The Importer of Last Resort’ for the world at large"    - Lyndon LaRouche, year 2000!

'You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else'    - attributed to Winston Churchill

So what's new?

This is a bit long in time, but a little short for the task undertaken.

None-the-less Sandi gives us a tour de force which pulls together a great many threads that were necessary for the incoming new global technocracy.

"This is happening" 

Now, and in your area!

The powers necessary were put in place by the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016.

Devolution being something of the reverse of the truth, as smaller councils will be amalgamated into larger "combined local authorities" with directly elected mayors - as clamoured for by nobody other than unelected groups mostly funded by NGOs.

Thus will local government be reorganised to the liking of the globalists into areas of little historical provenance primarily for the benefit of the incoming global technocracy.

"Section 4 allows an order to be made by the Secretary of State, with the consent of all appropriate authorities, to the effect that any function of a mayoral combined authority is exercisable only by the mayor."

"The section also amends the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 to enable mayors to exercise Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) functions"

... and there is much more where that came from.

Never mind, I'm sure it will all look nice and tidy on their spreadsheets and publicity hand-outs.

To some, the House of Lords is a running sore, ripe for abolition.

To others, it is a pale shadow of its former self, now reduced by the Commons to operate primarily as an old folks home for former politicians whose glory days are behind them.

Under the reforming/destructive/<insert-your-favoured-adjective-here> zeal of one call-me-Tony Blair, its function as the ultimate court of appeal was shipped out to a new "Supreme Court" US-style, answerable to ... well, does anybody really know?

The House of Lords was the original parliament of ancient origin where the (hereditary) Lords of the land met with the Lords Spiritual (the Great and the Good of the Church of England) under the Monarch, to provide debate wisdom and guidance, as a formalisation of the ancient Witan of King Alfred.

Following the rise of the conurbations the Parliament admitted additional representatives from the cities, and "in 1341 the Commons met separately from the nobility and clergy for the first time, creating in effect an Upper Chamber and a Lower Chamber, with the knights and burgesses sitting in the latter".

The English Civil War resulted in much temporary change (not to mention bloodshed) when the Parliamentarians were victorious ... "However, the monarchy and the House of Lords were both restored with the Commons in 1660. The influence of the Crown had been decreased, and was further diminished after James II was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the Bill of Rights 1689 was enacted".

It seems that one can have enough of revolutions.

Since 1621 the House of Lords fulfilled a judicial function on behalf of the monarch, but specific Lords Judicial were only created following the Appellate Jurisdiction Act of 1876.

So all in all, the history of Parliament exposes a long tussle for power in the land, out of which a workable compromise emerged at various stages, and the current controversies over the ways in which our land is governed should be seen in that context.

The big difference in our time is that we must also factor in the global nature of our current world, together with the concomitant global organisations that seek to influence, or some believe usurp, our national powers to govern ourselves as we see fit.

Now once more we have a proactive/upstart/<choose-your-adjective> Commons that wants to once and for all remove all remaining hereditary Peers from the upper house, so we must consider whether this would be a desirable, wise, and beneficial step, or whether it is ill-advised, ill-considered, or inconsequential.

On the plus side this is an incremental step in an ancient process, so unlikely to create much confusion around the revised processes that govern us.

On the minus side it isn't clear that the proposal has any great merit beyond increasing the self-satisfaction of those who consider the hereditary principle to be outdated and inappropriate to the modern age.

If it ain't broke - don't fix it!

So, will it be any the less broke if this change is passed?

If the last half-decade shows us anything, it shows us that the Donald is not to be underestimated.

So here we present a different view of the Trump "second term", and how it may develop.

One thing is now clear: he is setting about wrecking the comfortable assumptions that underlay the previous world political order, and he challenges the world to rebuild something better. Will the world explode, implode, or will it respond positively?

This article sets out to explain how the positive response may look - but has anybody told Ed Milliband?
