My comment:


In 1943 the English Conservative politician Quintin Hogg said, on behalf of the elites: "Either we give them reform, or they give us revolution." 


As the old maxim goes: "Reform in time or face revolution," Then, now, and always. Elsewhere Turchin gives an average 15% chance of successful reform to avoid this revolution, or at least postpone it (e.g. for 50 or so years in the case of Russia in the 1860s).


Linked to this are long wave  economic cycles of 40-60 years, Kondratiev waves or cycles. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave.  A typical wave is deemed to be 56 years. 1861: Emancipation of Russian serfs. 1917: failure to reform sufficiently - revolution.

It's official: There was no plan for Brexit Comment on what should have been done and how to restore UK and Gibraltar EU membership  See: https://youtu.be/qz7yKua7Ax4?si=kIXN7hm4AeySbfhJ https://rejoineuparty-iberia.blogspot.com/2025/01/its-official-there-was-no-plan-for.html IN A PERSONAL CAPACITY, NOT REJOINEU PARTY OR ANY OTHER PARTY OR ORGANISATION POLICY Cameron promised to stay on, but was faced with a leadership challenge from his MPs if he stayed. He was under no obligation to give up the EU Presidency. This would have been the perfect opportunity to come up with a second confirmatory referendum with a choice between a legally binding Leave deal, and a legally binding Remain deal (keeping the promise to extend the franchise to all UK Citizens resident outside the UK. They could also have thrown in overseas constituencies, House of Lords reform and the vote for all EEA citizens resident in the UK and UK overseas territories, and dropping the voting age to 16, more than enoug...

Message to Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV): My comment: Rejoining the EU would solve all these problems. So, you should, Jim McAllister and the rest of the TUV, reverse your position on European Union membership, end your relationship with Reform UK and instead become the RejoinEU Party of Northern Ireland. Otherwise, I must repeat the comment I made elsewhere on the exit of the UK and Gibraltar from the European Union: "The Unionist extremists were stupid enough to campaign for Brexit, which they got, led by the DUP (The Democratic Unionist Party). If they were logical, they should have campaigned for either Ukxit - the exit of the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or for Gukxit - the exit of Gibraltar on top of this. So no complaints! No wonder some people refer to the DUP as the Dumb Unionist Party!"
