Is Jeremy Hunt the striker the rags bought from Chesterfield as a stop gap and benched once Rashie is fit who, when the rags are 4 down in the San Siro with 5 minutes to go Tent Peg turns to and says " get warmed up lad I'm putting you on to go out there and win this one for us?"

If I wanted to write a thesis to demonstrate that democracy doesn't work, the events of 2016-2022 in the UK would provide me with all the material I would require.

I would posit that democracy only works: 1. If you have an educated electorate 2. If you do not have a vile, swivel-eyed media run in the interests of plutocratic criminals and 3. If you do not have FPTP voting which gives inordinate power to the largest minority.

As 1 doesn't happen what would be the alternative?

2 is very debatable

3 you are on solid ground

My conclusion is that democracy does not work in the UK.
As a country, we are too immature. That's putting it kindly.
The trouble is there is no real alternative, as benevolent dictators are extremely hard to procure.
PR voting might help in that it would stop the tyranny of minorities. If we could progress to accepting government by coalition on a regular basis, that is governments *always* with at least 50.1% support, the next step might be to achieve a national consensus on educational improvement and media reform.
My argument in a nutshell is that, as a nation, we need to grow up.
