The First British Reich

Towards The First British Reich: Doninic Cummings’ Challenges

Creating what is essentially a dictatorship in a country with a long democratic tradition is no small task. Of course, an overt dictatorship would never be accepted, at least in the short to medium term. What is needed is a guarantee of continuous leadership in a single direction, achieved by democratic means. That, of couse, doesn’t count technically as a dictatorship but the difference is small.

So how can that be achieved? The first obvious requirement is a continued mass loyal vote to ensure a majority in Parliament. Manipulation of the public, particularly the «lumpenproletariat», can go a long way to achieving this. Our first past the ost system means that we don’t need that large a majority vote (or necessarily even one at all) to get a good majority of MPs in Parliament. Constituency boundaries can be adjusted if need be. But some democratic obstacles will have to be weakened or removed also. Let’s have a look at those.

Journalistic freedom could be a problem theoretically but hasn’t proved much of one in practice: Weakening it should be sufficient if we keep the main newspaper proprietors sweet. Admittedly, the first attempt at knocking uncooperative journalists didn’t go well but that was just a first attempt. Next time our friendly newspaper prorietors will have to be better briefed to send along only journalists who can be relied upon not to walk out. A threat of the sack would probably do it.

Then there is the Internet. We can’t control it (at the moment) but it can be a very useful tool as well as a bit of a problem and, with friend Trump in charge in the USA, we can feel secure that no impediments will be imposed on the main Internet players to curtail access to the data we want. That can be left alone for the moment.

Broadcast media, radio and TV, could pose problems but their need for a licence is a boon here. We can control who gets licences and, if threats aren’t enough, making an example of one or two should do the trick.

Then there’s Parliament itself. Keeping a big majority will be important of course but the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee will have to be kept under control. That will need a bit of thought. The Office for National Statistics shouldn’t be a problem. We’ve cut their budget and a little more direction on what statistics to collect (and how) should prevent any embarassing numbers coming to light.

There is always the question of human rights but being able to draw up our own Human Rights Act will help a lot, particularly if threats of terrorism can be played up in the popular media when the Bill is made public. It should allow us to cater for any high-profile trouble-makers.

Keeping the lumpenproletariat happy will be a challenge but our friendly popular newspapers xhould be a big help there. We’ve already provided some «sweeties»: increasing the minimum wage and upping the lowest tax threshold were good moves and will be taken as a show of loyalty to the masses and the budgetary effect is minimal. Some other moves, like keeping excise duty on beer and cider constant while increasing that on wines and spirits, can be introduced along the way. The popular newspapers can be relied upon to play on loyalty to Queen and country. The royal family is in a bit of difficulty at the moment but fortunately Harry and Megan have removed themselves from the scene and the Queen can be relied upon as a rallying point. If times get really hard for the masses our English constitution should help.

The beauty of the English constitution is that it is incomplete, unwritten and relies in some important places on gentlemen’s agreements. I don’t think we need to worry about gentlemen getting in the way. We’ve adjusted the relationship between Parliament and the Courts so the latter can’t get in the way either. There’s always been this separation of the police and the military in England but, if things get too bad, we could always call in the military. We could claim a threat of terrorism and northern Ireland would be a precedent for that.

The threat of terrorism has mileage in it but we do need a common enemy for more routine matters as well. The EU should suffice for the next couple of years at least. It’s proved very useful that way already so people will be receptive. We can blame failure to reach agreement on it when we leave the EU without a deal and then any negative consequences afterwards on the same: their refual to negotiate on our terms. When that gives out we could turn to foreigners generally or the mslims again. We’ll think of something.

So far, we’look to be in good shape towards getting our democratic dictatorship. Forward to the first English Reich! (But of couse this couldn’t happen in Britain could it. Didn’t Britain fight a war to stop that?)
