Parliament is not in control of its own timetable, for one. Bit of a restriction on exercising its sovereignty, innit. And yes democracies can be chaotic.

It's entirely mad to me that I can make a list of easily verifiable, massively important examples of democratic processes in this country in the last few years and someone would just come up with a hypothetical like "but what if King kills someone" like it's somehow not just equal but has more weight than the list.

Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard would like a word.

  • What would the argument even be here? That the UK can never be a democracy because of what Henry VIII did in the 16th century?
