There are any number of criticisms I would happily join you in directing at the British parliamentaey system but I don't think relying on American businesses to pressure the government would actually be the win for democracy you seem to suggest?
I didn't say anything prescriptive, I'm just disputing your use of the word "democratic".
For all it's issues I think you would be hard pressed to argue that the United Kingdom isn't a democracy in the common sense of the term.
For all it's issues, it's practically bad faith to argue that the UK is a democracy in the spirit of the term. I believe that's how the EU works with law?
Oh yeah, they left that.
