I wonder? This spring entire country was buzzing angrily about our participating in Libyan war. 43 percent of Britons were against military intervention into Libya. British taxpayers were going to streets remonstrating against wasting their money for sending additional fighter planes and forces there. But our Parliament stayed deaf and mute to all appeals. 557 deputies voted for intervention into Libya and just 13 voted against it. Do they want to say that those "people's representatives" are expressing the will of this people? More likely that our Parliament expresses the will of those guys who's sitting in the White House. Then there is nothing to be proud of left from famous British democracy. Democracy doesn't work in United Kingdom anymore. We've got americracy instead now. And our Parliament is disgraceful puppet of Mr. Obama.
You will find a significant number of the same view here.
Not sure that 'our Parliament is disgraceful puppet of Mr. Obama' but some elite - who are the puppet masters.
You are not a UK subject and don't know what you are on about. You have never lived here nor have you ever participated in our democracy.
How do I know?
You cannot use the definite or indefinite article correctly. You, if you were a native English speaker, would have said 'the entire country' and 'the Libyan war' since both take the definite article in your sentence.
Likewise British taxpayers were taking (check your verb usage) to the streets. 'Remonstrating' - wrong verb again, you meant 'protesting'. I'm not sure what you meant by the use of 'for', but it is wrong.
The biggest solecism, that shows you have never lived here nor read a single English newspaper, is your use of the word 'deputies', when you meant to use the 700+ year old description of 'Members of Parliament', which is almost invariably shortened to MPs. How could you miss over 700 years of history? You then rabbit on about people's representatives, which shows your lack of understanding of the body of constitutional law that governs us.
Your next sentence referring to 'those guys who's sitting' also demonstrates your inability to get tenses to agree. It is either 'that guy who is sitting' or 'those guys who are sitting'.
In the following sentence you use 'from' when you meant to use 'of the'. You see the need for a definite article don't you?
Next it is 'the United Kingdom' or even these United Kingdoms as some are wont to say.
What we've got is, frankly, none of your business, whoever you are and wherever you come from. I've had thought Americracy should be capitalised, drawn as it is from a proper noun.
Our Parliament is not a disgraceful puppet of Mr Obama (you won't go down well on this forum not knowing that our Parliament is a puppet of Brussels). Note the use of the indefinite articles.
DDD, probably your cup size if you're blonde, you get nought out of ten for your preposterous attempt at trolling.
M3. what is your point? I didn't see a Masonic grip or handshake as there is more to it than what was seen. Both hands are required as one is to shield the other from the eyes of the uninitiated.
I wouldn't defend Obama; personally the sooner the world is rid of his Presidency the better.
DDD is a troll. I resolved his IP to Thailand and he is using a free e-mail available from Harvard University. He hasn't used the e-mail address publicly anywhere else so it might have been set up for this forum alone. DDD's IP address is blocked on many other fora across the Internet. He is talking drivel.
A - I could not resist.
Although the fundamental point, that UK Parliament does not represent the people or their interests, but those of some faceless elite group is all too true - troll or not.

The UK Parliament is not as representative as it could be, but I think DC is more into the EU than USA.
You haven't forgotten the phone hacking scandal have you? It was pretty clear at the time that Cameron had done what was necessary to get Rupert on side. He is a US citizen and has significant interests there too. Who knows what Murdoch has got on members of the Cabinet, even DC himself - you will have seen the Osborne/dominatrix/cocaine story which Coulson suppressed [no doubt to be used when Osborne became influential]. On top of Murdoch their are the big backers who created a huge campaign fund for Cameron.
Whoever is pulling the strings - they have no wish to be identified - and I would have thought just as likely from the US - the global corporations are generally in favour of the EU.
