How To Run a Country

1. Abandon the poor, especially poor people living north of Watford.
2. Create a ruling elite and pack them, unelected, into the House of Lords.
3. Devise a cruel new law to make poor people, poorer.
4. The unelected elite reject the law.

Welcome to Britain. A mediaeval democracy.

(PS. The Wee Ginger Dug has just penned a much funnier version of the same idea.)
