Synopsis

In the general election of 2015, 22 million votes cast by British voters were effectively thrown in the bin. It was three quarters of those who voted. These votes are euphemistically known as “wasted votes”. The voters need not have bothered showing up at the polling station. Mainstream news channels, in so far as one observed, the BBC, ITN, and Sky, passed not a single comment on this scandal, but then they are part of the establishment propaganda machine so why would they? The Labour and Conservative party leadership in Parliament consider it a price worth paying if it keeps them in power, and it has done. For over a century. Paradoxically, three quarters of the members of the Labour Party support electoral reform. As for members of the Conservative Party, not so many. In this book, I do my best to expose the base and offensive political morality of the leaderships of the Labour and Conservative Parties, and how the fraudulent electoral system they preserve protect and defend was engineered by a dishonest and corrupt establishment.
