Have a gander at this short video from Guardian Author and guardian of Democracy, George Monbiot. In it, he explains how the apparently suprising results in global elections which are assumed to be democratic, are in fact being controlled by a few oligarchs who hold the invisible strings of global power.

I have seen a lot of comments saying that Brexit is the issue that broke Labour's back in the last general election, however, I believe the real issue was Labour's inability to come up with a radical Brexit policy. Their manifesto beautifully dealt with the old issues - NHS, education etc etc, but nothing to add really to the Brexit debate. If all those Labour voters in the North who voted for Brexit and did not want another referendum, had a radical Brexit to back - things may have looked a little different for Labour right now. But what would a radical Brexit look like?

Democracy cannot work unless and until we have Economic Democracy - that is an economy controlled by local people and the accumulation of wealth limited by local people.
