Actually, the class system in the UK is largely irrelevant, because there's so many middle class folks. Sure, you have the royalty, and you have the people below the poverty line, but it's hardly much more dominant than elsewhere.Originally posted by Savage:
[QB] Socialism, perhaps an Oligarchy. I've been to england on many occassions. The wife worked there for years. The class system is very dominant.
And it's hardly socialist either, given 'New Labour' is firmly in the centre-right.
Well, Blair and his cronies do seem intent on walking roughshod over all in their pathSure it has the trappings of democracy. Well its really all how you define it. Wonder if our representative democracy will continue becoming less representative.![]()

But it's certainly not got to the point where it's undemocratic. Unlike another certain large western country I could mention *cough*dubious elections*cough*Florida*cough*

But truly representative democracy does generally seem to be a thing of the past...
