How will the Declaration restore Democracy?
Candidates who refuse to sign up to the democratic rights in the British Declaration of Independence will find their political careers at an end. Why should the sovereign people entrust their sovereignty to politicians who abuse it? The reaction of millions who refuse to vote (41% at the last general election) is an inevitable result of this abuse by the politicians of all parties. BY NOT VOTING AT ALL THE VOTERS ARE REFUSING TO GIVE CONSENT TO BE RULED. DEMOCRACY ITSELF IS AT RISK. IT IS VITAL THAT THOSE CANDIDATES WHO GO TO PARLIAMENT TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE. IF THEY DO NOT, WE ARE ELECTING A DICTATORSHIP. Because we are concentrating on those candidates (i.e. the major parties) who will almost certainly be in the next parliament and thus able to bring about change, the British Declaration of independence is a shorter route back to our democratic nationhood than just establishing new parties.
