HUNDREDS of city, district and county councils are due to be submerged into
‘unitary’ authorities governed by a directly elected mayor, similar to how
London and Manchester are now.
This means even less democracy, less representation, and more worldwide
policies enacted in lockstep.
When the government makes announcements on its Local Government
Reogranisation (LGR) on the last day of parliament business before MPs do
no work for six weeks so it cannot be scrutinised, and the government also
cancels opposition debates on its policy and agenda, then your eyebrows should naturally and suspiciously be raised.
LGR involves decisions about what does and doesn’t get built in your area, what gets sold off (including local historic buildings and businesses) and which facilities and services – such as care services, parks, community centres, school crossing patrols and bin collections – stay.
As more decisions are made favouring the corporate behemoth that now controls almost everything on Earth, how many new mega-council policies do you think will favour ordinary people – you and your family, neighbours and colleagues?
All major parties are on board with this final removal of any semblance of
democracy for the people, where we have some say in what goes on where
we live. Reform and the Greens voted for LGR as well.
To be clear, trillion-dollar corporations do not have elections. You cannot lobby a member of the board and, in fact, according to John Perkins in his book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, they have their own lethal mercenary divisions.
How long before corporations run the police overtly, and they are authorised to imprison anyone who does not comply or pay their fines?
