British politicians are members of political parties and a part of this association take up an off-hand attitude towards those of the social community they represent. In many cases the electorate are considered to have a limited role of electing them into office through a system managed, funded and manipulated in favour of political parties. The political role of the electorate is not that of sovereign individuals to be served by representatives but of a rabble to serve the ends of political parties. Once elected, the political party exercises a somewhat scurrilous behaviour involving the manhandling of elected members to discourage them from representing the interests of the sovereign individuals who elected them to representing the exclusive interests of their political party in Parliament. This behaviour parallels a form of repetitive and illigitimate coup whereby Britain’s tiny private political parties can gain control of national governance from a base of memberships of no more than 0.5% of the electorate and a total electorate support of less than 20%.
