Definition: Mandate

Definition: Mandate: The power that a UK Government believes it has been given by the electorate, after having been elected by a decidedly small fraction of the actual electorate, using an archaic, unfair electoral voting system.

This power (or mandate), together with an unread Political Manifesto, allows the said Government free rein to bring into force whatever law it sees fit during its time in office.

This time in office always ends in failure.

Note: The mandate is officially revoked, if, at the next General Election, the Government of the day is beaten by an opposition party, in what is known colloquially as, "Kicking the lying, cheating, b******* out of office".

Naturally, this leads to one set of Manifesto driven, lying cheating, b******* being replaced with another set of Manifesto driven, lying, cheating, b*******.

In this way Democracy is upheld in the United Kingdom.

May God Bless The United Kingdom and all who sail in her.

Addendum:

For a longer more interesting take on this see an earlier blog post Democratic Deficit - Mandates a-gogo.

For a much shorter idea of mandate see this very short for me blog post: Nano-mandate
