That argument does not condone the loss of democracy we have here where the rot from the left is strangling our ability to function constructively. Look at the rot that has migrated to so many facets of our function. Govt dept's and SOE's hamstrung and underfunded by woke BS. Ferries and power pylons for example.
At least in a democracy like the UK they can in time vote out the unproductive, unlike the socialist mess we have evolved into.
