The Conservative Party
is the Problem Not the Answer
The Conservative Party is "putting it about" that by joining and voting for the Conservative Party, those who want Britain to be Britain will get what they want under a "new" Leader and as a result of mass entryism, this is a cheap ploy to get them members and votes.
Remember.
The Conservative Party has legislated and facilitated the dissolution of Britain for fifty years.
Edward Heath
Margaret Thatcher
John Major
Tony Blair
Gordon Brown
David Cameron
Theresa May
Five out of seven of the principal actors in the the dissolution of Britain have been the Leader of the Conservative Party.

Under The Cosh Again
The recent low rate of strikes and sick days is proof that the British people are now firmly under the cosh of the
the Conservative and Labour establsihments 50 year programme of national destruction.
With all the bonds of religion, society, economy and politics being loosened there is now no opposition to the untrammeld force of selfishness and the profit motive in society and the marketplace.
In Shell State Britain the Gig, Uber and Deliveroo is the consequent market model (and variants) business model.
The shift of power to business organisations assisted by mass employment of women mass immigration and the marginalisation of male employment has led to a mass submissive and compliant labour pool.

No Freedom of Religion
Under the Equality and Diversity Cult
Glasgow Caledonian University Roman Catholic Chaplain, Mark Maurice has been removed from his university post for practicing his faith in his parish church.
In a parish devotion, a rosary of reparation for the gross offence to God which is "Pride" Glasgow was held.
The "Pride" event is part of a highly political (the Conservative and Labour parties are facilitators and promoters of it - using public money and resources) and corpratised propaganda machine designed to "transform" British Chistian society into a godless service state by removing the Christian foundations from our nation and constitution.
On hearing about the devotion, Glasgow Caledonian said it was "disapointed" and stressed that it had a strongly inclusive culture and actively respected and promoted equality and diversity.
commonrepresentation.org.uk supports the freedom of religion and worship and the right of the Reverend Maurice to practise his faith without punishment.

Breech of the Constitution -
The Politicisation of the British Army
lt is against the established precepts of our constitution order for the British Army Royal Navy and RAF (and the Police) to publically endorse or participate in any political demonstration.
The active participation in and promotion of the political demonstration called "Pride" (which campaigns for the erosion and removal of our Christian constitution and society) by the British Army, Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force and from this year the Royal Marines is a breech of our constitution.
The ban on the armed forces participating in any political demonstration must be restored.

The National Question
It is August 2018.
The Final Act in the End of Britain now begins.
...
Since it's establishment in April 201l, commonrepresentation.org.uk has called for the shifting of the political plates in the United Kingdom through the formal (rather than the current informal) organisationational merger of the Conservative and Labour (and other) parties that all endorse and promote the dissolution of Britain as a Christian industrial nation and it's "transformation" into a godless service sector state.
In tandem with the formal consolidation of the Conservative and Labour parties (all pro immigration, pro EU, pro devolution pro de-industrialisation, de-militarisation and pro "progressive" social revolution) we have called for the emergence of a new national party (see BUP page) dedicated to restoring and rebuilding Britain as Britain.
The new party option is now, at last, increasingly finding traction across public opinion as seen in recent opinion polls.
The general public are now daily experiencing and witnessing the emptiness of Shell State Britain in 2018.
Their lives have been emptied, limited and ruined by the Conservative and Labour parties dissolution of Britain for over fifty years.
They are now lost and abandoned and drifting in a sea of lonlieness, selfishness, poverty and debt, tied now only to the cult of "work".
The Fake Exit of Britain from the Eurostate has simply highlighted the consequence of throwing away of all the moral, social, economic, millitary, infrastructural and political elements of our nation.
Today the United Kingdom stands exposed (and the Eurostate knows this).
Increasingly the civil service (because it knows what is happening and is fearful) and business (because they are rich and fear for their profits) are issuing warnings and making preparations for public disorder, shortages, "civil unrest" and chaos.
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we have highlighted the exposure (in planning, civil defence, and material and social terms) of the United Kingdom to local, regional and national emegencies including and especially: electricity generation and distribution (including it's immediate effect on the circulation of the money supply), medical and food distribution (including the use of Just in Time (JIT) logistics and the functioning of transport routes.
These are all serious matters with serious immediate effect for large numbers of people.
Neither the Conservative or Labour parties are interested in these matters they are only interested in money, their money and their ability to escape from the disorder that they have created.
With either party (or both) in power, it is now too late for Britain.
The overiding question at issue today (comprising immigration, the Eurostate, legislative devolution and other profound matters) is should Britain be Britain or become something else?
In our parliamentary system it is only through contained parliamentary democratic conflict on the floor of the House of Commons (rather than outside on the streets or leaked onto the streets through the referendum device) between two opposing constellations of opinion, one openly offering the End of Britain and it's "transformation " into something else (what the BBC calls "New Britain") and one offering the return of Britain as Britain will the National Question be answered and resolved, one way or another.
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we want the National Question to be resolved in favour of Britain as Britain.
...
If you also want the National Question to be resolved in favour of Britain as Britain then act now before it is too late.
For seven years commonrepresentation.org.uk uniquely provided the unofficial narrative about what is happening to Britain and we have campaigned inside and outside of Parliament for a United and Free Britain.
If you agree with our general perspective then support commonrepresentation.org.uk
and our associated political party, the British Unionist Party

"The Purpose of Economy" Speech
Continuing his Union Glue Tour 2018, Stewart Connell delivered another speech in Glasgow titled: "The Purpose of Economy".
The speech focussed on the purpose of the economy in serving the social aspects of the Nation and the impact of the Conservative and
Labour parties policies to de-nationalise and de-industrialise Britain and de-couple the economy from the Nation.

Defending Defence
The warnings by General Lord Houghton that Britain is "living a lie", regarding it's defence capability are welcome even
though restrained.
The Conservative and Labour parties 50 year old decommissioning and privatisation of the British Armed Forces
(British Army now down to about 76-78000 regular, the Royal Air Force about 33,000 regular and the Royal Navy about 33,000 regular
and the wider Defence Estate, has left Britain with a micro army, a token air force and a mini-navy.
The Conservative Party's 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review was the most recent principal blueprint for the
deconstruction , monetisation and sell-off of defence "assets".
We are an island nation.
The British economy must quite simply be built upon defence, land, sea and air.
The digital realm must, of course, be occupied but it is in the physical realm first and last and not least
within the United Kingdom itself and at it's land, sea and air frontier that men, money and material must be deployed in order
to hold and exercise and if necessary, project force and power; political, military, economic and diplomatic.
We must restore the British Army to an Establishment strength of at least 500,000.

"The Black Stuff"
The 1980 BBC 1 Play for Today, "The Black Stuff" and it's associated drama and series reflected the impact of the intentional mass destruction of British industry and the effects of mass unemployment in the late 1970's and early 1980's.
"The Black Stuff" is a dramatic record of the dissolution not only of British industry but also of the common social bonds that bound together settled and common populations in architecturally settled places doing settled serious economic things like coal mining, working in the docks, railways, power stations and the rest.
We can now witness the result of the moral, social and economic dissolution, recorded in "The Black Stuff" in every village, town and city across the
United Kingdom.

"Gizza Job"
One of the myths peddled by the Conservative government's of the 1980's (and later Labour government's) was that the "creative destructionalism" of British industry and the opening of the (moral and social) door to debt would allow the "old" (national) industries to be removed and a "new" service economy introduced that would provide new employment opportunities, where bricklayer's, steel fabricators and engineers and the like would "retrain" as service assistant's, serving coffee and burgers and cakes and then "get on their bike's" travelling the country looking for a counter to serve a customer from.
All of it was a fictional narrative.
A backstory served up, and still served up by those who never had to sign on year after year after year.
(Recorded unemployment in this period was over three million)
The early 1980's experienced the first full scale intentional and generational deconstruction of British industry and mass male employment.
There never was any "reconstruction" of the British economy only the emergence of a lonley and shallow
marketplace fulled by debt and the cult of service sector "work".

Airbus
The Airbus (and BMW) warnings that they may close their sites in the United Kingdom are an example of how politically and economically
exposed the United Kingdom is as a result of 50 years of Conservative and Labour policies.
Rather than consolidate, protect and generate our own manufacturing and general production, 50 years of multinational, multisource manufacturing has
removed the knowledge and practice hubs of British ingenuity and skill, ranging from the old BBC inhouse production departments to the British civil
nuclear industry.

The "Transformation"
The Conservative and Labour party sponsored, Finsbury Park "One Minute Silence" on Tuesday the 19th of June
and the introduction of a national "Windrush Day" on the 22nd of June (both promoted by the public sector,
commerce, media, and advertising industry) are both part of the narrative to "transfom" Britain from a Christian homogeneous nation into a
secular heterogeneous state.

Evening All"
The announcement that graduate's will be qualified as police detective's after a 12 week training course just about sums up the shallowness of public services today.
Experience of common life and long apprenticeships in specific fields is frowned upon.
The public services are caught in the grip of political and managerial fashion.
Today generic management with no roots in the sector that they operate get paid massive tax salaries for using purposeless jargon and ticking the equality and diversity cult boxes.
They then after a golden goodbye then meander off into another public sector activity and get a golden hello and start all over again causing organisational carnage in that new field.

The Ballot Box and The Street
The Conservative and Labour establishment will happily perrmit mass demonstrations everyday in the streets (preferably the backstreets) where they can use all the powers of the state and controlled commerce and media to marginalise popular dissent.
While lawful demonstrations and assemblies are essential instruments of parliamentary democratic protest, it is only through the ballot box and the emergence of a new nationwide political party that offers a broad manifesto to restore, repair and renew Great Britain that they will be defeated.

Fake Exit - Exposing the Shell State
The United Kingdom has for 50 years been hollowed out, morally, socially, economically and politically by the Conservative and Labour establishment.
While the British Army can still put a show on in central, central (central) London, the Eurostate's contempt for the United Kingdom reflects the general measure of opinion overseas of the United Kingdom as a former serious nation.
It is not 1972 or even 1989.
Fake Exit is now showing the British exactly what has been thrown away over the past fifty years.

Britain On The March
While the Eurostate teaches the United Kingdom how politically empty and powerless it is
(a decimated army and a wastland of serious national industry just to mention two measures)
as a result of the past fifty years of national moral, social and economic disintegration, across Britain, demonstrations in
support of Britain and it's renewal and against the Conservative and Labour establishment are taking place and increasing
week by week.
The demonstrations are not being reported the anti-British BBC and the other controlled media.
Not least in "quiet" middle England, Immigration and and Fake Exit and the general decay of society is now manifesting
itself into organised political action, after years of distraction, despair and pent up frustration.
The present political expressions and manifestions are similar - in an organisational sense - to the political groups and
movements that emerged prior to the formation of the Labour party a hundred years ago and saw it break the Conservative
and Liberal parties hold on power.
The Conservative and Labour establishment and it's 50 year destruction of Great Britian is now meeting it's nemisis.
Support your local demonstration.
It's our parliament not their's.

The Republic
The anti-British (but funded by the British taxpayer) "Constitution Unit" (CU)
(University College London) has released two new reports:
and
They argue for a new Coronation Oath and service and surrounding procedure.
The CU report in conjunction with the recent Demos report on "Nostalgia" in politics
(removing the collective national memory from the British people)
https://www.demos.co.uk/project/nostalgia/
form the constitutional background of the coming Final Act in the End of Britain.
The purpose of the Final Act is to enact and codify the "progressive" revolutions agenda of the past 50 years into a new
secular and federal single constitutional document.
The CU report seeks to introduce a secular and multicultural coronation while the "Nostalgia" report seeks to remove the
national memory more generally.
Our constitutional limited Monarchy is now being fashioned to act as a tool for the proto secular republic which is under construction.
Both reports are desinged to cut Britain off from it's past in all senses.
Both reports are about removing the British and Britain from the British constitution.
6th June 2018
The Past Has Been Abolished
The recent report by Demos "At Home in One's Past - Nostalgia as a Political and Cultural Force"
continues the work of the Conservative and Labour parties in attempting to remove memory from the British people.
It is essential for the "progressive" revolutionaries to erase the national collective memory of the British and replace it with a
equality and diversity code.

The Interval and the Final Act
We are now in the Interval before the Final Act in the End of Britain.
The historic political events of 2012-2017 were no co-incidence they were the rehearsal for the Final Act.
The Conservative and Labour parties and the "progressive" establishment from the media to the education sector to the equality and diversity cult are now preparing the final decisive "transformative" acts to cut the British off from their Christian constitution and monarchy and parliamentary representative democracy.

Hot and Cold
commonrepresentation.org.uk has highlighted many times the exposure of the United Kingdom to natural and manmade emergencies.
While the the temperature rises and the Visa digital payment system crashes it is worth remembering that three days of snow in March streched the "Just In Time (JIT)" distribution chains of the supermarkets and the shelfs were near to empty or empty.
Another three days of snow and the country would have been on it's knees trying to feed itself.
There is no point in having access to what little money you have in your bank account if there is no food to buy.
Fifty years of national disintegration moral, social, economic, infrastructural etc means that the UK is dangerously exposed to national, regional and local emergency, more than at any time since the war.
Note
The Civil Defence Corps (330,000) has been abolished
The Territorial Army has been abolished.
Meanwhile the Police and the British Army (cut to 78,000) is too busy enforcing the Equality and Diversity code
to provide meaningful national assistance to the civil power.

Through The Lense
Through the the lense of Conservative and Labour parties, the education sector, the controlled news channels and media, advertising and commerce (physical and digital) , a new state is being made.

British society is being "transformed" into something else.

The British Constitution and Tommy Robinson
Tommy Robinson is in jail by order of the Conservative and Labour "progressive"establishment and their media agents in the BBC and the controlled media.
His imprisonment (wether we agree or disagree with his politics and methods) is political and the ban on reporting his imprisonment was political.
This is how the we regress as a nation going back centuries into a despotic state where the exective imprisons dissenters and MP's in Parliament simply submit to executive power.
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we believe in the freedom of speech, the the rule of law, the freedom of assembly, the freedom of the press and the toleration of dissent and the other bulwarks of our Britisth constitution.
Only a single nationwide political party that offers a broad manifesto alternative to the fifty years of moral, social, economc and political disintegration of Britain can defeat the Conservative and Labour establishment and repair and restore Britain.

Get Out
The Commonwealth
The London Declaration of 1949 and the Royal Titles Bill of 1952 had one political purpose to begin the removal of the word “British” from the lexicon.
And they did.
The United Kingdom must reassert it’s independence and stand on it’s own again.
It is time to grow up as a post Empire Nation.
For too long, Britain has clung on to the “Commonwealth” like a comfort blanket, allowing it to tell itself two soothing stories at once, as the emerging nations asserted their separateness.
The first was that the Commonwealth would simply be a modern version of a misty common allegiance and a single interest.
It is not, it is a cold and calculating self help group for countries that have found the word “British” (and all it means) repellent but who recognise power and profit (political and economic) through the mechanism of the (not British) Commonwealth connection.
The other story is that having asserted their separateness from Britain, Britain would then be encouraged to prostrate itself and permit millions from the newly independent nations to enter the United Kingdom and be indistinguishable from the indigenous population.
It is a story designed to make immigration appear to be a continuum rather than an alteration.
The historical common emotional pull of Empire Nation ties forged in peace and in war is being used by the Commonwealth to put Britain down and prevent it from acting in it’s own self-preservation, defence and as an independent nation.
The Commonwealth is a mechanism to prevent Britain from asserting it’s political independence.
The orchestrated humiliation of the United Kingdom over the past few weeks on the matter of the paying passengers of the HMT Windrush is what the Commonwealth exists to do and will do again soon.
There is no level or depth that the Conservative and Labour establishment in Britain will not stoop too to ensure that Great Britain becomes something else.
Get out.

Glasgow Speech
"Devolution and The Road to Ruin"
On the second date of the Union Glue Book Tour 2018, in a speech delivered in the Jury's Inn Hotel on the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow, Stewart Connell highlighted the Regional Assemblies Bill purpose as an attempt to create a fictional symetrical devolved goververnmental architecture. The assemblies were administrative forms of devolution and the Labour and Conservative parties fearedthat the English assemblies would mutate into legislative devolution and threaten the integrity of England.
Further in the speech, the surrender of the Church of Scotland to the equality and diverisity code was exposed while other matters including abortion, mass lonliness and the abandonment of our serious national economy were explored.
In closing Stewart called for a general election between a political formation (Conservative and Labour etc) that wants Britain to be someting else and a new single political formation that wants Britain to be Britain.
Full text of the speech will be available shortly.

Leaving the 20th Century
We are now leaving the 20th century or to be more accurate we are finding out how to leave the failed politics and policies of the last third of that century.
The “progressive” revolution of the 1960’s had (and still does) at it’s centre a direct and indirect assault upon the Christian constitution and authority and order of the United Kingdom (and those other nations informed by it).
While the revolutionaries remain in power in the form of the Conservative and Labour parties they are shell parties. One is kept going by foreign money and trading on it’s small “c” conservative past while the other is kept going only by appealing to it’s “progressive” revolutionary zeal.
Neither party holds the political validation from the electorate for the policies that they have embarked upon.
There is a gathering opposition to both of them.
This is to be welcomed and is essential for the emergence of a new national party.

The Meaning of Doors
Police Scotland Website
08/05/2018
(Our italics)
“A hate incident is any incident that is not a criminal offence, but something which is perceived by the victim or any other person to be motivated by hate or prejudice.”
Doors are physical manifestations of prejudice.
We use doors to discriminate, to permit entry or refuse entry to individuals that we are prejudiced to because we either like them or we do not like them.
Whether we like them or not (sometimes it is involuntary either way) usually depend’s on a large number of internal reasons both subjective and objective.
Prejudice is a good thing.

Everything Must Go
For 50 years the Conservative and Labour parties through secularism, mass loneliness, mass abortion, mass divorce, mass debt and of course the unmentionable, mass immigration, have sought to reduce and then remove the ways and means and the institutions of the British.
They have largely succeeded.
For these parties, our religion, our parliamentary democracy, our legal system, to our language, our commerce, our arts, our manners, our education, our history, our architecture and behaviour and habits must be reduced, removed and replaced.
Everything must go.
6th May 2018
Before Conservatism
There Was Unionism
To conserve and to establish a traditional perspective and a body of empirical substance over time, there first must be something to conserve, a natural common matter and entity.
Unionism can be traced as a religous and political idea through the covenanting period of the 1500's onwards while conservatism emerged during the Restoration from about 1660 onwards.

Empty Pews
The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is about to take place.
Another gathering of the Conservative and Labour establishment in a different suit, to plot the religious retreat from established Christian witness and submission to temporal power in the form of the equality and diversity cult.
For fifty years the denomination that is authorised and established by law as the Church of Scotland has abandoned it's members and adherents and taken the side of those dedicated to the removal of Christian witness and worship across British society.
Today from the comfort of the Manse and the Stipend they are surprised to find empty pews.

Golden Agers
and a Cold Society for the Young
There is emerging talk about the difference between the younger and the older generation of Britons today.
Due to the policies of the Consewrvative and Labour parties, young people are now growing up in a dissolving nation where the moral, social and economic elements are now hostile to them rather than organised to protect and nurture them.
From the retreat of the established church, to their political indoctrination in their schools, to the assaults on family and local life, to digitalised commercialism of their privacy, to their early inculcation into debt and indentured labour, young people today now face a cold society compared to the collective warmer society of post war Britian that could be traced even into the late 1980’s.
From about 1945-1989 there was a (diminishing) golden age, generally speaking, for those born into a still united, free and prosperous Great Britain.
Born into a Christian and homogeneous Great Britain, they had good schools, reasonably paid regular serious employment (probably in a nationalised industry), government supported marriage and government support for having children, reasonable holidays, public services that worked, a close located extended family, no debt and savings – possibly enough or with a small loan from the local bank manager (who knew your family background) to start a small business, close knowledge of long term neighbours and a bit of spare time for socialising and contributing to a voluntary organisation.
Today, now or near to retirement (they had the choice to retire), the golden agers, content on their final salary pensions can go for a cappuccino in their Tata Range Rover and browse through their Saga magazine to decide on how many holidays they will go on this year while the young (and others) are abandoned to float in moral and social disolution and economic misery and servitude.

Evidence and Transmission
The 1960’s political and cultural revolution was not “progressive” it was regressive.
It’s purpose was to reverse and remove the Christian civilisation found in
Great Britain
(and in other nations founded and informed by our Christian constitution).
The evidence of the revolution's damage lies all around us everyday in the moral, social and economic ruins of the United Kingdom.
For 50 years this revolution has faced no substantial opposition until now.
50 years since it’s cultural highpoint of 1968 and twenty years since it’s political highpoint in the election of New Labour of 1997, it is in 2018 that it is at last facing a counter revolution.
Central to the advance of the counter revolution has been the internet.
Just like the advent of the printing press at the Reformation, the internet has facilitated the transmission and promulgation of officially frowned upon opinion, previously restricted by the media agents of the Conservative and Labour parties.
29th April 2018
Savings
The “progressive” revolution does not believe in savings of any kind moral, social, economic or political.
It only believes in the short term fix of selfishness.
29th April 2018
Happy Talk
General social discussion of politics is now restricted not by voluntary politeness and manners (founded on the established Christian religion) but by fear of coercive legislation and cultural intimidation.
This is partly due to the official imposition of the "progressive" revolution and the disintegration of previously common norms across society.
Today we are meant only to engage in frivolous chit chat happy talk, no serious subjects, no criticism and certainly no dissent from the equality and diversity code.

Breaking The Spell
(Because We Must)
There has never been any need for any immigration at all into the United Kingdom.
The British managed by themselves on their island, sufficient and independent for centuries upon centuries upon centuries.
The unique elements of the British have been their religion, their island, their parliament, their genius and their homogeneity, a deeply political and precious thing.
These elements together built a great nation and indeed if the truth be told, the entire modern civilised world as we know it today.
The only reason for immigration on any other level than that of a trading island trace level has been political.
The Conservative and Labour immigration policies have always had one purpose, to alter and abandon the homogeneous composition of the United Kingdom and “transform” it into a heterogeneous state.
This transformation rests upon the British ceasing to exist as a common, self recognising and political nation and becoming something else.
This is the “transformation” that is unmentionable by law.
The spell is enforced by all the powers (legislative and non-legislative) and all the organs of the state from schools to commercial contract.
For 50 years the Conservative and Labour parties have cast a political spell to instill the idea that the British people were deficient and insufficient in themselves and needed immigration from many places in order just to function.
The idea is false, of course it is false, as a nation we have been blessed and had everything we ever needed and need.
Above our heads the rain gives us water, under our feet, our soil and the seas around our island give us food while coal gives us power.
The British have everything they need to repair, restore and regenerate.
The spell is now broken.

The Political Purpose of Trade
The great political point about capitalism and nation to nation trade (international trade) is that we can move goods, services and capital to people.
We do not need to move people to them.
Trade means that we do not need to go to war and occupy other nations in order to possess their goods or services.
They can get items that they want from us and we can get items that we want from them through the exchange of mutually agreed physical measurements called money.
The inentional ignorance of this is the basis of the fictional "Fourth Freedom" of the EU - the "free" movement of people.
This is all basic stuff that should be taught early in secondary or even tertiary education.
9th April 2018
Economic Havoc Called “Progress”
In this “free” market borderless digital “utopia” promoted by the Conservative and Labour parties, the cult of globalism moves at will to wipe out anything that is a barrier or restriction or limitation of superprofit, this includes religious belief, getting older, independent opinion, having and bringing up children and privacy and artistic creativity amongst many other things.
It does not matter the national, moral and social havoc caused in it’s wake, all that matters is the superprofit point and pushing the cost pendulum towards the consumer and taxpayer, in the case of the consumer, it manifests itself among other things in the increasing forms of self service (using your resources; time and mental and physical effort an equipment) to replace the businesses resources ie the increased use of self-service tills and reader guns in your local not local supermarket.

The Coal Strike
The 1984-1985 coal strike was not about coal, it was not about the 1973 coal strike, it was not about "free" markets in coal, it was not about trade union power in coal, it was about breaking British industrial (and masculine) power and opening the doors to a debt based, feminised, service marketplace and of course, the unmentionable, mass immigration.

Goodbye GKN
GKN is a large British manufacturing company and it’s roots can be traced back to the industrial revolution It has been takenover by a hostile asset stripping company.
Just like the ARM company (a major British semiconductor and software design company takenover by the Japanese with Conservative government consent), GKN has been thrown away for money with no concern for the wider or longer term British interest.
As we mentioned on 7th November last year, the Conservative Party Leader speaking at the false flagged CBI conferece, declared to foriegn nations and corporations that what was left of British industry was for sale and would not be protected by a Conservative government.

Nation - Singular
Ramping up it’s Fake Exit Day propaganda with a “breakout session” from Conservative Central Office in London, the Conservative Party Leader and failed Home Secretary Theresa May (she oversaw immigration increase by about 4 million and the first invasion of Britain by foot since the Middle Stone Age – about 10,000 years ago).
She referred to the UK as a “union of nations” this is not just constitutional illiteracy of the first order (not only has she spent decades as a senior politician, she also went to a good grammer school and university) it is a meaningful use of the lexicon to prepare the political groundwork for a federal constitution in the UK.
If Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England were nations then the United Kingdom could not be an integral and unitary parliamentary nation.
The UK is a nation – singular.
It is not a union of nations, a "family" of nations, a federation or a confederation.
It is a single political body.

Under The Spell
Since the 1950s we have been under the spell of mass immigration and the stories attached to mass immigration.
Since 1948 and the issues raised by new nationality acts across the British Commonwealth, the United Kingdom - a homogenous nation (a deeply precious thing) - embarked on a programme of mass immigration for decades.
Many stories were then told to encourage the view that the UK needed mass immigration (not enough workers in Yorkshire mills, or the NHS or farmworkers or foriegn students or cultural "enrichment" in general etc) and cover up the fact that the homogeneity of the United Kingdom had been thrown away.

Gone Fishing
The Conservative Party 2018 continues the work of the Conservative Party 1972 as it confirms that France, Spain and Luxembourg and 24 other countries will continue to have right to fish in British territorial waters after Fake Exit Day.

Fake Exit
The Conservative Party has begun ramping up the fanfare to Fake Exit Day.
This is another attempt to present the Conservative Party as a party of the British Interest, it is not, it is a godless party of the foreign interest.
There will be no Exit only degrees of “alignment”.

Pod Life
A new pod hotel has opened in London modelled on already established pods in Japan.
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we expect to see more pod hotels and pod dormitories in workplaces as commercial and corporate power increases, privacy becomes a thing of the past, the spread of silo lifestyle increases and marriage and the family unit are marginalised.

Over and Out
In a midweek update we stated that the political system in the UK has been switched off by the Conservative and Labour parties and is over, done, finished.
Only the emergence of a new national party can break the Conservative and Labour establishment control of the political system and switch it on again and reverse their 50 year ruin of Great Britain.
We will no longer engage with any parliamentary committee or commission.
We will not validate or prop up a system that works daily for the foreign interest and against the British interest.

Leave Today
The 1972 European Communities Act must be repealed today.
(It will not be because the Conervative and Labour parties want to stay in).
A short Bill (just like the one that took us in in 1972) to repeal the 1972 Act could be presented to Parliament and passed in a day.
This would immediately show that the UK is back and put the UK in a serious negotiating postion in trade talks with the EU and others overseas.
The Article 50 process is all about "full alignment" and continued alignment
aka staying in aka never leaving.

Complete Economic Reversal
Nothing Less.
The composition of the British economy must be completely reversed.
Conservative and Labour parties are engaged in a joint venture - it is to tell the British people that the economic system is functioning in the national and individual interest, it is not.
Our economic activity is now detached from our individual and national interest
The British people are now working against their own national and individual interest.
We cannot continue with the domination of the service sector, then a small token component of manufacturing and a minor role for defence, heavy industry and public infrastructure
Marginal action or tweaking will change nothing, that is a dangerous falsehood and practice done everyday by the Conservative and Labour parties.
We must completely reverse and restore our economic composition and ensure our national characteristics and priorities imprint into and onto our economic activity.
We must take millions of young men (full of talent and potential) out of the cult of revolutionary education (and debt) and the sedentary and banal shallow service sector and put them into defence, heavy industry and public infrastructure.
We have stopped making things (shipbuilding) and increasingly things do not work as they should
(provision of public and private housing).
We must make things again and make things work again.
In particular we must provide young men with apprenticeships and then regular reasonably paid, purposeful employment.
The rest will come.
We must restore meaning and purpose to our economic activity.

British Leyland
At commonreperesentation.org.uk we hold the opinion that the national economy
must be built on the dominant economic foundations of defence, heavy industry
(including coal and shipping) and public infrastructure.
We support the re-establishment of the nationally owned vehicle manufacturer
British Leyland.
British Leyland and it’s large and intensive sites of employed men – just like defence and coal and shipping were sacrificed to the Conservative Party (and Labour party ) cult of privatisation and the re-engineering of the social order with the intent to marginalise men and push women into the market place, dissolve the family unit and open the national frontier to mass immigration.
British Leyland is regarded by the free market globalist privatsation cult as a failed venture.
In 1977 British Leyland launched the Rover SD1.
In 1977 the SD1 was voted European Car of the Year.

The EXIT Fiction
There are still supporters of withdrawal from the EU - mostly the Conservative Rees Mogg and UKIP types - who advance the view that the UK will emerge from the EU in its pre-EEC 1973 moral, social and economic condition and enter into the role of a global service sector player and a centre for free market digital capitalism.
It is all comfort fiction.
It is an illusion based on denying what the Conservative and Labour parties have actually done to the United Kingdom over the past fifty years while everyone else was out enjoying themselves.
The Britain of 1973 or even 1989 has gone.
Our moral, social, military, economic and political elements have been abandoned or dissolved or both.
Our homogenous society has gone.
Our military capability has gone.
Our common social bonds have gone.
Our serious national economy has gone.
Our unified parliamentry representative democracy has gone.
It has happened and there is no point in denying it.

Force of Nature
(The Cult of Work Defeated by Snow)
The arrival of a period of snow, bursts though the shallow, plastic, digital and commercial environment that dominates British society today.
While, of course, we must ensure that the existing infrastructure and emergency provision is secure and delivered effectively especially to our young and old, there is another side to the arrival of the snow.
The crushing cult of work has been put in it’s place by the force of nature.
Generally speaking – a lot of people are have been off work and doing other things and this itself is a good thing.
British people work and commute far too much and British children spend far too much time in school and college studying for a largely ineffective certification system, so the arrival of forced absence from both is a good thing.
For a short while a lot of good things have happened to our country and people.
Mother’s and father’s have spent time at home with their children.
Neighbours have talked to each other and friends have spent time together.
For a few days the Work Cult has been defeated and we have had a taste
of what an alternative Britain could be.
We touched on the Work Cult in Entry 49 in our Vassal Territory Blog.

3rd August 2015
Work Work Work.
The Conservative and Labour parties
place only a monetary value on the British people.
They are obsessed with work so long as they do not do it.
They are obsessed with profit but they have never made a profit.
They are obsessed with work because they cannot comprehend that the British
people are a Nation first and foremost.
They are not an economic unit.
They are a Nation with an economy.
The purpose of the economy is to serve the Nation.
One of the consequences of the move from a Christian Nation to a godless vassal
territory is that the majority of people including increasingly the
young
old
sick
frail
mothers
disabled
will have to work and work for less and less.
There will be less time available for
family
children
grandparents
memories
listening to music
having meals together
playing
laughing
crying
grieving
praying
tasting food
drinking
seeing colours and mountains and rivers and seas and oceans and architecture
watching animals

Devolution Powers
and the Rule of Law
While the British people struggle to get the basic day to day essentials and stay warm, the devolved parliament is preoccupied with pushing and then stepping over the legal limits of it’s power.
The devolved Scottish Parliament’s “Withdrawal from the European Union (Legal Continuity) (Scotland) Bill” is outside the legal competence of the 1998 Scotland Act Schedule 5.
Even it’s “Presiding Officer” has conceded it is outside the devolved competence.
It is not legal.
The entire legislative devolved experiment (across the United Kingdom) has failed and should be immediately suspended and all devolved powers restored to national government (territorial offices) and local council's.

Electricity
While the snow falls and demand rises for heat and light, the National Grid PLC (a private commercial entity formerly in public ownership and known as the Central Electricity Generating Board) has just announced a “gas deficit” as it attempts to meet UK demand for electricity.
We released the following article on the closing of Longannet power station almost two yeas ago.
25th March 2016
Longannet Was British
Longannet coal fired power station has been closed.
It was the second largest in the UK and the last coal fired power station in Scotland.
The station worked for 46 years. It was still fully functional and generated power for over 2 million British homes, hospitals and schools and other public services. It employed hundreds of men on site and provided valuable economic activity to the local area. The station has been closed by; the Conservative Party, the Labour Party, the SNP, the TUC, the CBI, Scottish Power (a front company of the Spanish corporation Iberdrola) and the political organisation which claims it is a charity the World Wildlife Fund.
The United Kingdom is closing down.
We support the re-establishment of the National Coal Board (NCB), the re-opening of the coal pits and the building of 18 Coal Fired Power Stations.

A Nation Exposed
Over the years we have warned about social breakdown and the abandonment and absence of national and regional and local emergency infrastructure and resources especially the lack of a cohesive society, civil defence and the increasing risk to power generation and distribution, the transport network and the food supply.
The arrival of a period of snow highlights this matter and the Conservative and Labour parties contempt for the primary responsibilities and duties of national government.

Age and Maturity and Society
The 1960's “progressives” knowingly coated their revolutionay policies with the emerging teenage
maket and visible gloss and artisitc culture of the time.
They promised - as they still do - that their utopian society would allow the individual to pursue the teenage impulse forever, to be an autonomous and sovereign self (be whatever or whoever you want to be) and that they would bend and fashion British society so that it would happen for you and make society into a form in which adolescence and “youth” and the teen age would dominate all sphere’s of life and marginalise common adult authority, common knowledge and common power.
And so 50 years later adult authority and knowledge has retreated, not least from the church and politics and the passing whims of youth are now worshipped and legislated for by the principal parties and manipulated for secular political interest and superprofit by vast corporations.
Our collective national growth and maturity through the experiences of school, adolescence, apprenticeships and training, courting, marriage, establishment of the home, parenthood, the raising of children, and the establishment of the family unit (the building block of a Christian society) and the voluntary contribution and participation in local and national society etc has now been not just disrupted but fundamentally dissolved and reconfigured in a pattern that serves the power of the political and corporate establishment.
The moral, social and economic order that prevailed in the 1950’s and was still visible and imprinted into British society into the late 1980’s (while society was being hollowed out by the “progressive” revolution) worked well and held together a balance between the old and the new, restraint and freedom, tradition and (authentic) progress.
We now have a society that refuses to grow up (or delay until it is too late to make any meaningful difference) or to take responsibilites, explore, make mistakes and learn and experience maturity).
Rather than mature, millions today now isolate themselves and live silo lifestyles in a secular, atomised digitalised and adolescent market place.
There is now an increasing hollow centre in British society that should be filled with the full range of age and maturity.
Rather than grow as individuals and explore and challenge themselves, many men (and women) avoid marriage, children and establishing a home. Why have the hassle and responsibility of looking after others when one can just monopolise every resource one has in order to please yourself.
Selfishness is easy.
From there, they are inculcated to be debt generators, depersonalised, corporatised and digitalised servants to debt and debt packages and of course (in the quiet hidden moments not seen on Facebook) private misery.
At a national level we have thrown away centuries of political maturing and evolution and are now regressing in our political culture and civilisation.
For 50 years the policies generating a society worshipping youth and inceasingly hostile to maturity have been legislated for by the Conservative and Labour parties for fundamentally political reasons and have increasingly dominated and then altered our nation and it’s civilisation. They must be reversed.

Devolution, Architecture
and the Kirk
The Church of Scotland until the 1990’s had an Assembly Hall that looked exactly like it should
a legislature and a court and a place of worship all at the same time.
It contained a sombre wooden layout in a C shape surrounding the communion table and the Moderators Chair and lecturns and a Throne Gallery .
The traditional layout of the Assembly Hall was turned into a scene from a 1973 inner London “community” centre in order to accommodate the new fangled devolved “Scottish” Parliament until Kirsty Wark’s (so much for a neutral BBC) half billion pound devolved parliament building was built.
The Hall and the “Black and White” corridor surrounding the Hall (where the representatives gathered to informally debate politics and theology at the one and same time) held an authority and conveyed a serious established Presbyterian contribution into the British state, statecraft and state craftsmen.
Note:
The Church of Scotland would later beg the SNP to be the official church in a separate Scottish statelet but Nicola Sturgeon chased them away – no chance in the proposed multicultural Scotland.
The Church of Scotland, established by the British Constitution and British law would then declare itself neutral in the 2014 separation referendum.

London Calling Again
There is one part of the United Kingdom with all the elements ready to push for more devolution and separate statehood and it is not Scotland …….it is London.
With a population of some 10 million, visibly different, young and fertile with alien religious, social and economic characteristics from the rest of the United Kingdom, vast capital wealth and a materially hungry, a digitalised and servile labour pool, a markable (M25) and defendable territory including a secure coastal access, London with it’s proto political structure (Sadiq Khan is just the begining) is a new emerging city state.

Millions
Over 8 million abortions have taken place in the United Kingdom since 1967.
These have been overwhelmingly of the British.
The loss of 8 million Britons is never referred to.
Their potential is never referred to.
The loss to our country is never referred to.
It is often casually said by the anti-British BBC and others that the UK population is “ageing”,
they never say why.

Culturecide
The decline and loss of Britain as a dominant and creative artistic nation full of independence, enquiry and eccentricity (including the principal art mediums of the pre privatised BBC (the BBC is now a shell organisation commissioning privatised and revolutionary content) and the old ITV regional stations and franchise (now generic media companies) and it’s submissive conformity to the new “progressive” revolutionary codes all reflect the abandonment of our national political and artistic culture over the past 50 years.
British art like the nation itself is disolving, no longer able to either recognise itself or articulate purposeful artistic comment about itself.
For those few British artists still able and still brave enough to express comment on the state of the country (in whatever art form they perform or produce) we must treasure them.
Having thrown away our nation we have also thrown away everthing that flows from it not least our art.
17th February 2018
Flagpoles
The removal of the Union flag from public buildings has been going on for years.
Even before devolution the Union flag was increasingly not being flown.
General political and public neglect and a disregard for our country and it’s institutions and history led to a withdrawal of the flag and other symbols of nationhood from the public and official space.
Flagless flagpoles could be found everywhere next to the Saltire and the EU flag.
That said everything about what was happening in the country.
The Union flag is widely regarded by Conservative and Labour “official” UK (not just Scotland) and especially by the sniffy middleclass as a relic of the past, an embarrassment in modern multicultural and secular UK and of course “offensive” in a background visual noise kind of way.
The immediate future UK is to be about neutral symbols not national symbols
That is the reason for the empty flagpoles and the shifty absence of national symbols from all aspects of national life. It is all about the neutralisation of the political state and it’s “transformation” into a secular vassal territory. It is the political equivilent of legally self declaring that you are neither male or female until you decide you are something else.
The Conservative Party is complicit in the removal of our national flag from the public and official space over the past 50 years.
The Conservative Party has endorsed and sponsored the denationalisation of the nation across the entire range of policies so it can come as no surprise that this should be reflected in the decreasing flying of the national flag or indeed the continuance and furtherance of that approach by the SNP through powers that the Conservative and Labour parties voted for by voting for legisaltive devolution.
The lesson is simple.
If you support the Flag do not support the Conservative Party
The Union flag should of course, be flown prominently from every public building including: schools, hospitals and police stations.

Begging Letters
The Conservative Party recently sent out a begging letter to the 3,000,000 plus EU immigrants in the UK begging them to stay while agreeing to the entry of millions more EU immigrants through it’s new “settled status” provisons for entry.
No letters have been sent out asking the British to stay.

Abortion Numbers
The online and over the counter, do it at home or at work, abortion pill pack (self-medicate) will make it impossible to record the level of abortion currently at about 200,000.

Diversion Politics Via Article 50
The Article 50 process is a gift to both Conservative and Labour Parties
It is a diversion.
All other political matters are now sidelined or forbidden while the country is trapped into a orchestrated descent into breakdown and chaos.

Franchise for Sale
It is now proposed that “refugees” and “asylum seekers” should have the vote.
The Conservative and Labour 2016 Scotland Act permitted the devolved Parliament to alter the electoral franchise.
It should be remembered that in the referendum in 2014, the franchise used was supported by the Conservative and Labour parties.
That franchise meant that the United Kingdom could have been brought to an end by a single vote cast by a Nigerian who was resident in Scotland.

The Outer Casing
and the Elements
In his speech in York University Stewart Connell referred to the “outer casing” of the Nation.
The outer casing being the constitutional and parliamentary fabric of the nation state, the political material that holds it together and makes it work like a highly sophisticated watch.
Inside the casing the moral and social and economic dimensions exist.
The casing and the elements inside it have now disintegrated and the rusted components are brittle and breaking and becoming dust.
It is upon the moral religious component that everything else is built.
The abandonment of our Christian witness and heritage not least by our established church means that all the other elements will fall in on themselves. This is what has been increasingly happening during the past 50 years.
Rather than bring social cohesion and national unity the social dimension now brings division, silo lifestyles, conflict and loneliness while the economic dimension rather than bring dignity and material progress brings misery and poverty.

Capita
As Capita follows Carillion……
For anyone interested in the defence of the United Kingdom, it is comforting to know the following from Capita’s website:
“Capita is entrusted by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to deliver a range of core business services of national importance. The responsibilities implicit in these undertakings are taken extremely seriously by all employees engaged on their delivery.”
For a number of years commonrepresentation.org.uk has highlighted the legalised theft of public resources through “outsourcing” and other measures.
Both Carillion and Capita have extensive contracts across the MOD not least in the Defence Estate and Army recruitment.
Note
The British Army is now down from about (regular) 258,000 in 1960 to about 78,000 today
(including those on equality and diversity courses).

State Within a State
(Alternative Economy Number 1)
One of the largest (and most highly politicised) economies in the UK is the education economy.
Education spending especially on the tertiary sector is effectively a state within a state.
Millions of young people are now locked into the educational state which builds satellite towns (isolated campuses away from normal patterns of national life) to house them and inculcate them with debt and the secular moral, social and economic religion of the “progressive” revolution.
The Conservative and Labour parties do this to further the movement of the United Kingdom from a serious national economy to a secular service marketplace.

Mark E. Smith
Popular and alternative culture across the English speaking world and beyond has been led and dominated by British writers, performers, musicians, painters and many other artist’s none more so than the late Mark E. Smith.
Mark E. Smith was the leader of the punk/post-punk/alternative rock band The Fall.
The Fall provided the music to the 1988 Michael Clarke dance company production
“I Am Kurious Orange”.
The ballet marked the Tercentenary of The Glorious Revolution.

The Limits of Tolerance
Since the Glorious Revolution the British people and parliamentary democracy have been very tolerant of political and religious dissent.
The certainty of the rule of law through our united parliamentary constitution permitted generous limits on the toleration of dissent.
We have now passed the limit of tolerance.
The religious, political and constitutional elements which provided the ingredients for toleration have been marginalised by the Conservative and Labour “progressive” revolution and now increasingly political and social disorder, anarchy and chaos are on the rise.
Complete toleration means the complete disintegration of the state and civilisation.
It is time to enforce the limits of toleration (the walls and fabric of the state) and defend our nation, it’s religion and it’s parliamentary constitution.

For Whom the Bells Toll
“Carillion” (an invented word by a brand consultancy) is a corruption of carillon (a peal of bells)
As we have seen with the £1.5 billion Carillion debacle the entire public sector is full of legalised financial rackets - privatisation, contractorisation, monetisation, PFI, PPP etc.
It is essential that activities of an important and dominant character are demarcated in the public sector.
That is why we had the NCB, and the Electricity Boards all in public ownership.
A recent National Audit Office report indicated that taxpayers will have to pay out over £200 billion in contractorised PFI commitments.
The report also identified that using these private arrangements makes the cost of the projects 40% higher than using direct public payment.
All the new flatpack public sector buildings we see everywhere are rented from the private sector through deals put in place by Conservative and Labour parties rather than being owned and maintained by public authorities such as government departments or local councils.

England
The Return of Devolution
On it goes, the Conservative and Labour establishment attempt to “normalise” legislative devolution across the United Kingdom.
Having played fast and loose with the constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom by introducing legislative devolution across Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland they are now attempting to introduce it (again), regionally across England.
Just like the 2004 Blair and Prescott attempt in the Regional Assemblies Bill it begins with (via carrots and sticks) marginalising local councils and then inventing and imposing “hip and trendy” city and metropolitan footprints (Northern Powerhouse etc) which are out of keeping with the more intimate scale and traditions of British local government and representation.
Aided by central government financial inducements and penalties, large scale local government regions (Similar to the old Strathclyde Region tier of government which covered Glasgow and the west of Scotland in the 1970’s and 1980’s) are set up and which then become powerful political building blocks (like the London Assembly) leading to demands for them to be “supercharged” by the introduction of legislative devolution - the establishment of a territorial elected assembly with legislative powers.
(See Part 3 of our 20th Anniversary of Devolution Series)
Many local councils (the natural British form of local government and administration - which have been treated with hostility or abandoned and starved of direction and funding for decades by both Conservative and Labour parties) in England are now tired of fighting the drive towards the new city regions and are now seeking to come to some arrangement with them.
This is all part of the dissolution of the integral British state. As the United Kingdom dissolves, new (and old) identities and powers across the country rise and compete for power, status and resources.
Local councils should not be wasting political effort, material resources and money on such dangerous activity, they with national government assistance, should be rebuilding villages, towns and cities across the United Kingdom.
Local government (like national government) across the United Kingdom is not just in a mess, it is in a dissolving mess.

The Poverty Mask
Mass poverty and the misery that attends it across the United Kingdom
is masked by the Conservative and Labour pro mass debt policies.
Mass debt enables government to mask the depth and impact of poverty across the nation and shift the responsibility onto the individual.
Mass debt soaks up and covers up the premeditated consequences of moving from a serious national economy to a frivolous shallow service marketplace. It is similar to the use of the education industry to soak up and store unemployment.

Devolution in Wales
In 2018, the push is now on to change the description of the Welsh Assembly to the Welsh Parliament

integral nation state that it is.

The Hardest Part
In 1979, Glasgow was at the crossroads of being either (as it had been) a rather dark and serious industrial British city full of continuity, a masculine economy, common social identity and rough purpose or becoming a new silver, shiny, bland, service dominated, urban location full of disjointedness, social division and no purpose.
The election of the Conservative Party lead by Margaret Thatcher earlier that year on a narrow and apparently, “monetarist” manifesto rather than a broad manifesto of national renewal, had ensured that during the 1980’s, Glasgow and the rest of the country would be nudged and pushed to float down the river of funny money, tourism, the education industry and the “service” sector etc.
Having set the scene by destroying the physical and industrial infrastructure and integrity of Glasgow (and the other great British cities) during the 1960’s and 1970’s and with the established church in retreat, the Conservative and Labour parties now embarked on the loosening of the moral and social bonds of the nation (especially in relation to debt and marriage).
In 1980, Glasgow and the United Kingdom as a whole had began the last part of the journey from nation state to vassal territory, a journey that would ironically end on the 28th November 1990 and the defeat of Margaret Thatcher and with her the last remaining vestiges of political Britain.

No Pay
The confirmation by the Home Office that they are making plans to introduce an unpaid 50 strong trial “Border Force Special Volunteer Force” to drive along the coast checking the coastline and phoning in any suspect activity seems to us to be (apart from an idea for a sitcom) another example of the Conservative and Labour contempt for British workers conditions and the usual casual and dangerous approach to securing and defending of the United Kingdom’s frontier.
Note
The UK Border Force has 8000 staff and 9 vessels.
The Italian equivalent (which has one third less coastal waters) has over 60,000 personnel and 600 vessels.

The Fog
The Conservative and Labour establishment support membership of the EU that is why we had a referendum not a general election.
A referendum keeps the EU supporting establishment and their power in place.
The levers of power in the British state continue to be in Conservative or Labour hands
(this was a fatal flaw of UKIP and it’s pursuit of a referendum).
The political and constitutional mess we are in is intentional and it provides a fog for the Conservative and Labour parties to engineer a “never leaving” arrangement and continued domination of the wider political agenda.
The fog also means that all the forbidden matters such as abortion, re-industrialisation, immigration and devolution continue to be forbidden and all the other pressing matters such as education, NHS and welfare of our elderly are neglected and all frozen into the privatisation, contractorisation and monetised legal frameworks of the Blair, Brown and Cameron government periods.

Empty Gestures
The dissolution of the United Kingdom, in particular the atomisation of society has led to increasingly empty public gestures where previously meaningful public actions, ceremonies and witness took place.
The retreat of authority (common and national) and the lessening of the transmission of private and public habits of thought, religion, language, history, customs and manners since the 1960’s is now manifest across society.
Putting to one side the matter of immigration and the domination of the “progressive” revolutionaries in the education industry, British society is now increasingly a moral “Gig” “Uber” and “Deliveroo” society, one focused on the pursuit of the individual selfish interest rather than the collective national interest.
Rather than continuing to be a nation and society built upon and informed by the Christian Protestant religion in every dimension of it's activity, the United Kingdom is now a society where selfishness and material possession are now dominant.
The secular and ultra profit motivated corporate entities are the economic manifestation of this retreat but it is in the social dimension of society that the retreat has had the primary effect.
A society that no longer regards the common public habits of thought, religion, language, history, customs and manners or it’s national survival to be of essential importance and things to be held and defended and passed on to the next generation or is a society that can no longer even be bothered to think about such things will find that it's public actions and ceremonies previously full of meaning and containing a (sometimes unspoken) commitment to maintain that meaning have become empty gestures while a new state sponsored and enforced secular behaviour, enters to fill that void.

Ghost Budgets
The reason “Budgets” today have less impact now than in the 70s or 80s is that the national economy no longer exists.
They are ghost “Budgets” but like the old national Budgets they manifest social policy and its objectives and purposes.
Economic policy is social policy by another name and today the objective is to asset strip the United Kingdom and to finance the new secular and economic order.
Today third rate actors replicate the photo call of the old images of real Chancellors and their team standing in front of No 11 holding the Budget box containing real serious national decision about a serious national economy.
Today “Budgets” are replaced by micro statements on how the sloshing tide of debt might be hosepiped through the system but then again things have changed by the following week and none of actors know what they are doing or how it will pan out.
The Chancellor for sure does not.
The former serious national economy is now a debt recycling system full of funny money pumping into the chosen puppet growth sectors
(it is national and puposeful economic activity we need - not the cult mantra of "growth").
The tide of funny money travels through the “financial” sector channels and into the personal service, entertainment and conspicuous consumption parts of the system including foreign holidays, nail bars, tattoo parlours, restaurants, new houses everywhere (and their contents), mobile phone accessory shops and Tata Range Rovers.
On and on it goes.
For now.

Jog On
It is that time of year again just before Christmas, when the Office for National Statistics (ONS) conveniently release a new report on how immigration is “falling” while the BBC across all their platforms, do their best to tell us that the report indicates that immigration is going down (while it is going up).
1 Continue to claim UK population is “about 65 million”
(a nice comforting number that has been familiar for decade’s).
2 No estimate of the illegal entry number.
3 The continued lead use by the BBC of the net number
(Immigration minus emigration) of 230,000 entries rather than the use of the total number which was 572,000 entries.
Note
An 80% surge in applications from EU states for entry for new settlement has been recorded.
Further Research
Other means of calculating UK population include: sewage outfall rates, government data, bank accounts and supermarket logistic data and active digital footfalls.

How Poor Can You Go?
While wages go down and prices go up, mass poverty is now embedded into the United Kingdoms debt ridden and ransacked economic system.
Pound shops, discount shops and charity shops are now the signature uniform feature of towns and cities across the United Kingdom.
They lie just outside the "golden mile" in the centre of all the major cities where public money has been poured to give the impression of metropolitain (private money) "glamour and sophistication" where debt bling is king and you can sit out on the Euorpean style pavement with a cappacino while it rains.
The private sector is now pursuing the “Gig” and “Uber” and “Deliveroo” model of business organisation to cut costs while “demand management” (fewer staff, longer customer queue’s and more “self service” – the customer works for the business by scanning or self checkout etc) shift costs on to the customer.
Across the public sector the privatisation, contractorisation and monetisation of government activity not least in defence (see the role of Capita), NHS, Education and local government has led to loss of national and local government control and a massive shift of power and money from the public sector into the private (largely foriegn owned) sector.
This is part of the United Kingdom’s “journey”, day by day, into the third world.

Appeasement 2017 Style
This is What They Do
In the early hours of the 8th of December 2017 we witnessed the latest instalment in a 50 year process of appeasement to foreign power by the Conservative and Labour parties and the sight of another British Prime minister hurrying away in the night to offer some British sacrifice to some foreign potentate.
It is further plain proof that we are never leaving the Eurostate unless the Conservative and Labour parties and their “progressive” establishment are defeated by a new party dedicated to the restoration of the political unity and independence of the United Kingdom.
The Article 50 procedure is a trap designed to lock the United Kingdom further into the Eurostate and ensure that the UK negotiates from a position of further weakness (already firmly established by 50 years of moral, social, economic and political disintegration).
“Full Alignment” means not leaving.
A “soft border” (note: it is the UK border not a Northern Ireland border) means not leaving.
The permitted entry and settlemt of 3 million EU immigrants (and their relatives) means not leaving.
The European Court of Justice exercising jurisdiction in the UK means not leaving.
The Conservative Party can put this EU “Agreement” to the test now in a general election if they dare.
3rd December 2017
Never Leaving
The entire Conservative and Labour “progressive” establishment (including the usual spaghetti soup of
suspects: COE, COS, LIBS, CBI, TUC etc) that took us into the EU will do all it can to keep us in.
For over 50 years they have gutted the United Kingdom’s ability to govern itself, to function as a serious
national economy and to trade as an independent nation.
They have destroyed our armed forces, public infrastructure, heavy industry and natural trade pattern.
All of them from Theresa May downwards believe in the Eurostate and they
have spent their political life supporting it and now they profess to be getting us out while wanting
us in.
They all remain in power.
Referendums keep the “progressive” establishment in power while a general election provides the
means to remove them providing there is a party to challenge it.
They continue to work to ensure the United Kingdom will not restore it’s political independence that was
surrendered by a majority of 8 votes in the HOC in 1972.
Without a party dedicated to repealing the 1972 EC Act and fighting for it and winning it in a general
election (by defeating the supporters of the Act) we will never leave.

The Lessons of Dover
We should not interfere in the affairs of Republic of Ireland and they must be removed from continuing to interfere in our affairs, which they have done since the Conservative Party’s “Anglo-Irish Agreement” permitted them to do so since 1985.
The United Kingdom already has a “hard border”, it exists at every seaport and airport across the country.
If you travel to France by foot or vehicle through Dover seaport you will experience a hard border (no “fluid” or purely digital border there), it is an extensive, physical check and control procedure and likewise if you travel through Heathrow airport you will not simply saunter onto a jet and take off into Turkey, you will experience a hard border (again no “fluid” or purely digital border) it is a border full of highly sophisticated, intrusive (and time consuming) physical check and control procedures.
The government of the Republic of Ireland is demanding no border between itself and the United Kingdom, the reason for this is that the Republic of Ireland continues to want to annex a part of the United Kingdom that happens to sit on the same land mass as the Republic.
Many nations sit next to each other on the same land mass but do not seek to remove the line of delineation or it’s apparatus.
When the Irish Republic’s government, the Eurostate and the other’s demand “No Hard Border” they mean “No Border".
If the United Kingdom does not possess a border it will not exist.
The same singular check and control procedure must apply across
the United Kingdom.
2nd December 2017
Strike!
Today most “Work” is no longer an activity that brings dignity and prosperity to the individual (especially men) and the nation. Work is now a replacement for religion and family and local life. Rather than make us more independent, satisfied and prosperous, “work” is now a nebulous concept designed to make us more dependent on state and corporate power as well as make us even more poor. Work has also become a vehicle for the promulgation of the new secular code. Like many activities today “work” is now - working - in the reverse direction of what it was originally meant to achieve.
This has all taken place through the encouragement and policies of both the Conservative and Labour Parties.
While we watch the retreat of our national established religion, the disintegration of the family unit and the rise of the officially endorsed secular religion of “equality and diversity”, the work cult intrudes into what was previously the little private kingdom of the family.
Work now dominates the private space either through the time spent conducting the primary activity or it’s secondary associated activities or just in the time spent commuting (although with the increasing push for home based working and the saving of office and kit costs (increasingly carried by the employee not the employer) or the introduction of dormitory work sites, this element may be reduced in order to deliver more time and effort and money to the business organisation).
Work is now pumped up to be the defining characteristic of an individual and is promoted through secondary and tertiary education as such.
It now seeps into the private domain through increasingly submissive contracts, digital gadgets, harsh employment of mothers and women and the marginalisation of men.
Today, much work is done at home - unpaid – through digital clouds and business network’s which blur the demarcation of workplace and home, mothers are separated from their children who are locked into the state and private child “care” industry and exposed to state indoctrination from an early age, employers know this is happening and know they have a highly compliant workforce whom they can load more and more work onto with little if any dissent.
Trades unions are complicit in this trend, they support the pushing of mother’s and women into the work environment and the equality and diversity code.
Meanwhile men (who are less compliant and more prepared to confront management) are marginalised and prevented from gathering in a mass number on single vital site's in case they exercise their collective might (especially on a political matter in the British interest) and strike.

Motherland
The recent Office for National Statistics report on the number of women not having children reflects the cold hard demographic numbers about the past fifty years and the consequence of the preoccupation with selfish frivolous things and activities and the pursuit of short term pleasure against the need to prioritise the individual, collective and national resources for the important things and activities in life, while making provision for the saving and storing away of materials and resources for the future.
Mass abstention from parenthood (including men), mass abortion, mass immigration and mass divorce, all encouraged by the Conservative and Labour parties, have all contributed to the present condition of the United Kingdom not least mass loneliness, mass use of prescription drugs, and the housing "crisis" (created mostly by divorce and immigration).
25th November 2017
The 2016 General Election
The Conservative and Labour parties and their sponsored media would like you not to know about or forget about the following matter but at commonrepresentation.org.uk we like to remember it and record it for posterity.
Between 13th July 2016 and 8th June 2017 the United Kingdom was a despotic state.
During this period the United Kingdom was governed by a government that it did not elect and a manifesto that, not only did it not authorise but was the opposite to the one that it did authorise, a year earlier on 7th May 2015.
This is not about some highly technical constitutional matter it is about the plain setting aside of the British people’s authority and votes cast in the general election of May 2015 through a coup d’état by the Conservative Party between the 24th of June 2016 and the 13th July 2016 (Cameron’s resignation speech and Theresa May’s installation).
The Conservative Party’s new unauthorised manifesto of 13th July 2016 (the day Theresa May was appointed not elected even by Conservative MP's or party members) was the opposite to the electorally authorised Conservative Party manifesto of the general election of 7th May 2015 (regardless of whether we liked it’s contents or not).
Rather than hold a general election in 2016 on that new manifesto - which would have been the constitutional and proper parliamentary democratic thing to do – and which should have been prompted by either the Labour Opposition or preferably by the Crown, the Conservative Party coup d’état ensured (with Labour Party compliance) that no general election would be called in 2016 in the aftermath of the referendum on EU membership.
From 24th June 2016 the new Conservative alleged policy, of getting out the EU (still opposed in principle by EU supporter Theresa May, who having voted to stay in the EU her entire political life including in the referendum, refused to say that she would now vote to leave in a radio interview in October 2017, she could only say she would “weigh up the evidence”) would recalibrate every policy contained in the Conservative manifesto of May 2015 including defence and border matters.
The terms of the agreed 2015 contract between the electorate and the Conservative government had been completely reversed with no submission of this reversal to the electorate.
The electorate were kept out of the matter as the Conservative and Labour establishment preferred to have a Conservative Party coup d’état and then despotic government rather than a general election.
This state of affairs would continue until 8th June 2017 when the Conservative Party would call a general election (again with Labour Party compliance to gain the necessary “supermajority” (522-13) in the HOC on 19 April 2017 to massively build upon their working majority of 17.
Once again Conservative Central Office got it wrong just like the EU membership referendum (survey).
The Conservative Party rather than gain a massive majority under (the grammer school girl) Theresa May, the Conservative Party lost 13 seats and became a minority government.
Parliamentary government had been, by default restored, for now.

1959
In 1959, Christian Great Britain, had effective schools, reasonably paid, regular serious employment, government supported marriage and government support for having children, affordable British holidays, most families were extended and closely located, and close knowledge of their long term neighbours, the local parish church was the central local cultural force, for many some savings were possible and the idea of owning a small family business, a shop or a garage was near.
There was no mass immigration, no legislative devolution and no membership of the eurostate.
There was no mass abortion, no mass loneliness, no mass debt, men largely worked in physically active and socially bonding jobs in heavy industry, defence or the nationalised industries providing or making necessary things.
Women largely stayed at home rearing children (and reading to children) while contributing to the local social fabric and institutions.
British society was relatively orderd, secure, free, stable and peacefully governed, by the rule of law under our unitary parliamentary constitution.

Battle of France
The primary threat to the unity of the United Kingdom comes from the Conservative Party then the
Labour Party only then the SNP and the others.
The Conservative Party has initiated two referendums on the Union.
One has taken place and one is pending.
Neither the Labour Party or the SNP has initiated a single referendum on the Union
(putting to one side Labour’s devolution referendum’s in 1978 and 1997).
It is not just the institutional Union that is in peril.
The Union is not an abstract institutional entity or an empty vessel waiting for new contents.
It is a Christian, social, economic and political nation which is a Union.
The Conservative and Labour programmes of mass secularism (“equality and diversity”), mass poverty (and debt) and mass immigration (and abortion) are dissolving the United Kingdom.
Unionism’s limited resources spent on attacking the SNP, while not in the first instance attacking the
Conservative Party (then the Labour Party) are wasted.
It is like throwing Great Britain’s finite resources into the Battle of France.

The Thin Wall
There is a thin wall between what remains of our (historically) ordered society and it's complete breakdown.
Of course, enough electricity is still (just) being generated and transmitted through the national grid, powering cash machines and gadgets, the water, food and fuel distribution networks continue to supply the large supermarkets but as we have mentioned over the years, these highly digital managed logistical systems are highly exposed to disruption.
The dissolution of the homogenous Christian cohesive society upon which, our binding social elements have all been built (the same religion, history, language, customs, conventions, habits, mistakes, manners and general behaviours) and which provided us with practical strength during emergencies and war has had it’s impact.
These are largely gone, many do not even know their neighbours never mind speak the same language as them.
This lack of self recognition and “social intimacy” is the unspoken gap in the local fabric and of the nation itself.
In the event of a local or regional or national emergency this gap will make things worse not better.
We have also highlighted the absence of national and local organisations and the essential resources that would provide public protection and defence in the event of a local, regional or national emergency.
The British Army (and Royal Navy and Royal Air Force) and police forces are depleted and what remains is far to preoccupied with "equality and diversity" courses to deliver in strength and force the reserve and emergency provision that may be required.
The TA has been abolished and the Civil Defence Corps (comprising 330,000) no longer exists.
The organisations and institutions of government cannot function properly today while the weather is thankfully mild and thankfully there is no local, regional or national emergency.
In 2017 most homes are poor.
Most homes do not have reserve provisions of water, food, medical supplies or fuel.
The Conservative and Labour parties have created this exposure.
11th November 2017
National Breakdown
Day by day, we are witnessing, the political breakdown of Great Britain.
Government in the narrow and wider sense is dissolving while the various, institutions and organisations of government, increasingly do not fulfil the purpose that they are meant to and are now simply vehicles for the new secular state's “equality and diversity” propaganda, this is especially so in the armed forces, schools and the police.
Defending the country, protecting and educating children and enforcing the law has been replaced by the overriding objective of indoctrination into the new code.
British Government and parliamentary representative democracy, in any real political sense, is now coming to an end and it is being replaced by a new intrusive secular state power.
The Conservative and Labour establishment cannot put this right. It is that establishment that has brought us here over the past 50 years and they intend to keep us here until what has been the United Kingdom is finished and replaced by a vassal territory.

Economy,
Politics by Any Other Name
As the price of butter and interest rates go up and wages go down, it is a key political period.
Since 2007 cheap money (ultra low interest rates), released money (savings and pensions) and “funny money” (private bank invented credit and QE) have pumped up a false economy.
As the nation dissolves, the national economy dissolves.
The economy reflects national moral, social and political preferences and priorities.
Our economy no longer reflects a Christian nation based on the family unit and local social bonds neither does it reflect a serious provision for defence, public infrastructure or heavy mass (male dominated) industry.
It is now a debt based shallow “service” economy fuelled by mass abortion, mass immigration and the mass conscription of mothers into the work cult.
The economic data also shows the “diversionary” economy.
These are the popular entertainment and “leisure” activities engaged in to divert from the daily poverty and misery of the majority of the British people.
A national economy cannot function simply through kebab shops, nail bars or tattoo parlours even less so through the "financial" sector or Tata Range Rover cars.
The United Kingdom is now travelling on a moral, social and economic vapour trail of our past.

1976 and All That.
The emergence of punk rock in 1976 brought to an end the lingering traces of the hippy countercultural revolution of 1966. Of course, the oil crises of 1973 also played it’s part but the arrival of punk with it’s no frills, no nonsense attitude and it’s DIY ethos reflected profoundly British characteristics of individual independence, eccentricity and raw brutal force.
While punk blew away the artistic hangover of the 1960’s “counterculture” revolution, regrettably there was no political equivalent to remove the hippy “progressive” politics that by then embedded itself into highest reaches of the establishment not least in the church and education.
1976 seems like a solid date to identify the final chapter of British nationhood and it’s moral, social, cultural, economic and political disintegration until 1989 and the final victory of the “progressive” revolution over any remaining empirical, traditional, and small “c” conservative political formation.
The defeat of Mrs Thatcher in 1990 was certainly not about the “Poll Tax”, or even the EU, it was ultimately about the defeat of the last traces of political Britain. Mrs Thatcher with all her faults and all her wrong policies (many of which she later recanted, not least the 1985 “Anlgo-Irish Agreement") represented a political Britain, which in the opinion of our enemies, had to be brought to an end.
John Major represented the first step in the new age of non political Britain. John Major was Tony Blair before Tony Blair was Tony Blair.
When Tony Blair became Primeminister in 1997 he built upon the foundations that John Major had laid down.
With Blair the “progressive” revolution had finally taken control of the levers of power and they have kept them to this very day either through the Labour Party or the Conservative Party.
The "progressive" revolutionaries have done their work:
The established religion has been abandoned and marginalised while a godless state is constructed.
The social bonds are loosened and float and bump away into the night.
The serious economy is now a memory and has been replaced by a debt economy.
Our parliamentary democracy has been sidelined.
There is no sign of the nation that resolved itself to fight in 1939.
There is no sign of the nation that was forging ahead (a working balance of tradition and progress) in peacetime 1959.
There is no sign of the nation that in 1979 could still muster serious masculine industrial might in order to strike.
There is no sign of the nation that in 1982 could, just, manage to coble together a fighting fleet and defeat Her Britannic Majesty’s enemies thousands of miles away.
There is no sign of the nation that even as late as 1989 could still generate and imprint it’s British political signature on it’s morality, social order, economy and culture.
That nation has now gone.
If you want it back, you know what you need to do to get it back.

1967 Abortion Act
The 27th of October 2017 is the 50th anniversary of the Abortion Act receiving the Royal Assent.
Since then there has been over 8 million abortions in
the United Kingdom.
Abortion has had a deep moral, social, economic and political effect.
It has altered the natural demographic composition of the
United Kingdom and it is being used as a cover for mass immigration.
The BUP supports the repeal of the 1967 Abortion Act and the restoration of the law to the pre - 1967 Abortion Act status which provided for the immediate medical consideration of both mother and child.

Not Spain
There has been much comparison between the challenge to Spain’s integrity and the challenge to the United Kingdom’s integrity.
commonrepresentation.org.uk campaign has nothing to say about the affairs of Spain or any another country, it is none of our business.
However regarding the actions here of the Conservative and Labour and Liberal parties in regard to the integrity of the United Kingdom and the Conservative Party initiated referendum on the Union in 2014 we have plenty to say.
Not least......
1
The United Kingdom is a singular, unitary and integral parliamentary representative democracy and it’s composition (it’s unity and integrity) was authorised by the UK electorate in the general election of 2010 and could only have been re-composed by another subsequent general election (as it was in 2015).
2
In 2010, 59 out of 59parliamentary constituencies across Scotland authorised their MP to go and sit in (be part of the whole – to accept as valid and binding the authority of the British Parliament) the British Parliament including six SNP MP’s who all stood on a representational not an abstentionist manifesto.
3
Rather than defend the integrity of the British state, the Conservative and Liberal government with the support of the Labour Party opposition instead chose to ignore the established parliamentary, constitutional and legal authority of the state in order that the rule of law and the integrity of the Nation could be overthrown under the cover of a fictitious referendum “authority”.
Note
The legislation which set up the referendum, The Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2013 (SI2013/242) contained no authority, no provision or effect, to reverse the 2010 general election mandate of any MP including the 59 from across Scotland, the mandate that they had, to go and sit in the British Parliament remained intact before during and after the referendum. In other words the referendum was an only an opinion poll, a survey, even though it was sponsored by the government.
Further
The BBC knew of the actual constitutional and legal status but refused to broadcast it. The BBC continued to broadcast a content (including a countdown clock) that presented the image that the referendum did contain authority and would break up the United Kingdom upon the declaration of a “Yes” result.
This matter became a formal complaint and was taken to the BBC Board of Governor’s (BBC Trust Unit) who chose (Complaint’s and Appeals Board January and February 2015 Issued April 2015) not to answer it and instead fabricated another complaint that it itself had posed in it’s response, on the matter of MP’s from Scotland after the referendum.

723 Seats
More Representation not Less.
The electoral register and the number of parliamentary constituencies are central to the operation of our parliamentary representative democracy.
The integrity both must be upheld.
The Conservative government wants to cut the number of parliamentary constituencies from 650 to 600.
This means less representation of electors as constituencies become larger.
commonrepresentation.org.uk takes the view that the British people need
more parliamentary representation not less parliamentary representation.
We support an increase in the number parliamentary constituencies to 723
This will provide more representation for electors by reducing the ratio of elector to MP.
In our Union Parliament, the number of constituencies is based simply on population and geographical criteria.
(We also support the merging of the four Parliamentary Boundary Commission's into a singular Commision for the entire United Kingdom).

Bags of Money
The bag charge was introduced by the devolved parliament on the 20th of October 2014. All money from it remains with the private busines, none of it goes into the public purse.
Paid largely by the poor, the bags are already paid for by the business and the charge
covers the price of the bag plus more to spare.
Some business possibly still are factor into the price of items this means that the bags are being paid for twice plus the excess that goes to the business.
If the devolved parliament wants to reduce the use of bags then it can pay for re-usable bags or ensure all money from the charge goes to public funds.
This is not a frivolous marginal matter, it about the use of state power and the corporate apparatus to transfer your money to a private business under the cover of “saving the planet”.
Millions of pounds are now being generated (5p per bag in the minimal prescribed charge) by private business for their private use.
It is a racket and the legislation must be repealed.

Autonomy of the Nation
Vs
Autonomy of the Self
The retreat from national authority over the past fifty years has seen the Conservative party and the Labour party hand over power to the EU (and other supra-national institutions) and the devolved institutions, the retreat from national authority is now so advanced that the government has recently retreated from even holding the authority to decide whether an individual is male or female.
The Conservative government will shortly introduce a “Gender Recognition” Bill which will allow individuals to have the authority to decide if they themselves are male or female, to be fair, this is the logical step from the previous legislation that provided for the legal recognition (including the alteration of passports and other official documentation) of the claim that a man can become a woman and a woman can become a man.
The retreat of collective national authority permits the rise of the “authority” and the “autonomy” of the self.
By retreating from our national authority contained through our parliamentary representative democracy the collective order of our society is disrupted, diminished and dissolved.
This is another “progressive” revolutionary tactic designed to dismantle the authority of the established and Christian order of our society alongside the “equality and diversity” cult.
If our country cannot decide what is a man and what is a woman then it will find that in a very short time it cannot decide very much else and has generated distress and disorder across society especially among the young and the vulnerable who are increasingly lost in a society that is dissolving around them and are being exploited in both the moral and economic sense.
It is the job of a British government to protect the young and the vulnerable not to sacrifice them to the power lobby and propaganda lobby of the “progressive revolution”. It is no co-incidence that this lobby (ie Stonewall etc) target schools and colleges and universities with money and materials with full official backing of the Conservative and Labour and educational departments. Schools should be free from political propaganda.
The phrase “my body is sovereign” is a phrase that has already been used in connection with the other “self” politics of the last third of the 20th century.
It is “self” politics (an indulgent politics concerned only with the “me, me,me”) that emerged in the 1960’s rather than the politics of the collective national condition. It is the politics of the “pill” and abortion.
The replacement of a nationally authorised medical designated definition of male or female with an online “self” definition is a further extension of this kind of politics.
As the “collective” dimension of life in the UK diminishes and the “self” dimension increases, more of these retreats from national authority take place.
The political enemies of the United Kingdom seek to activate as many challenges to our authority from inside and outside the UK as possible.
It is about the construction (by the Conservative and Labour parties) of a secular order in the United Kingdom in which the Christian order and culture has been marginalised and the national singular authority is increasingly replaced by new authorities in an ongoing clash for supremacy.
Great Britain must assert it’s singular authority, now or it will be too late.

A Devo Mandate Is A Devo Mandate
While Theresa May continues to support another referendum on the Union, Nicola Sturgeon claims that the devo mandate that the SNP got in the devo parliament election in 2016 is a mandate for the devo parliament to hold a referendum on the Union as a consequence of a UK departure from the EU.
This is constitutionally and legally wrong.
She has got the wrong parliament. It is in the sovereign parliament election not the devolved parliament election that she must seek a mandate for separation.
She is claiming a devo mandate is a sovereign mandate and authorises all the contents of the SNP 2016 Manifesto, if this was the case then the SNP would have a mandate right now for lots of things including the removal of nuclear weapons and indeed a mandate for separation. It is fiction but a dangerous fiction and it is one that the Conservative and Labour parties (and the BBC) refuse to challenge because they support devolution and the power and patronage of the devolved Scottish Parliament.
The only mandate (authority) in a devolved election is on matters that are devolved. It does not matter what the contents are in a manifesto for a devolvevd election because only devolved matters (ie not reserved matters: the Constitution, Foreign Affairs, Defence etc) are mandateable (ie subject to authorisation).
If the SNP or any other political party want authority to enact any legislation then the only constitutional and legal way to get it, is through a British ballot box in a parliamentary general election.

Part of our "What Kind of Union Do You Want?" Series
Part 9
The Immediate Bond.
The average working week is 37 hours.
The married mother and father, the home, the extended family, known neighbours, the lollipopman, the school, the church, regular and familiar architecture, the local council house scheme, the post office the GP, the local park with a park warden etc these are all aspects of of place and time and the immediate bonds and layers of identity.
They represent the key formational elements of who we are and where we fit into our locality and nation and it’s life.
The immediate bonds of life are put in place by the mother.
Since the 1970’s there has been a drive by the Conservative and Labour parties to force mothers and women in general out from the home and the local neighbourhood, out from the nurturing of children and the provision of welfare to the older generations.
These activities and attendant voluntary institutions encouraged the building of strong local friendships and social bonds.
Pushing women out to work has led to vast areas, schemes and estates in villages, towns and city suburbs being left empty, day in day out, as the mothers go to work in largely low paid and boring jobs with little attachment, they cannot all be Kirsty Wark or Emily Matliss
(who we should remember are already very rich and are paid for out of our public purse).
Today it is mostly the middle class that can stay at home and nurture their children while working class mothers are increasingly forced to leave their children and are conscripted into the cult of “work” activity.
Most mothers do not want to work full time, for most it is of little satisfaction compared to the satisfaction and contentment of making a family home, raising a family or providing for the older generations. Such activity is certainly more valuable than boring repetitive work on a computer screen or a production line.
It is these bonds of place and time that generate the immediate substance of Nationhood.
In a sense the nation is the family unit writ large.
The absence of women from local life means that their true talents and skills are lost and that a hole in the local quilt and fabric of social unity and cohesion is created and expands over time.
A common identity and mutual support network fails to appear.
Without this invisible voluntary blanket and bank of kindness and goodness (and highly practical skill, talent and resource) many things do not happen and do not exist, friendships do not happen and voluntary organisations do not operate and function as they could in a village, a town or a neighbourhood.
37 hours which could have been spent putting human rich resources into the local fabric are in many case spent shuffling pointless bits of paper or digital records around in an office or shuffling things around in a factory.
As women have been forced into indentured labour the social bonds have dispersed and the local social bonds that existed even twenty years ago have gone.
The children and the old have been offloaded into the industrialised private or state sector, all open to all the forced doctrines of the secular equality and diversity religion.
The warmth of the free bonds of local and national compassion and kindness
(once guided by our established Christian religion) in our voluntary behaviour, habits and institutions are now being replaced by the profit motive.
It is the monetisation of kindness and free action.
Those born, even into the 1980s can remember this society full of immediate social and national bonds. Those born after, have only (if they are lucky) the handed down (a good thing) stories of what it was like.
This society did exist because we can still remember it.
In todays atomised dissolving society, silo lifestyles are lived in shallow social waters easily turned off like a tap. Without a deep and durable meaning or serious human connection, all is selfish and pleasure motivated and monetised.
In deep social waters, in physical closeness and over time, it is necessary to “rub along” with each other as the greater affection and the greater common cause and recognised interest are more important than the particular difference even on important matters in themselves. We restrain ourselves in the common interest to (within reason) “keep the peace” in order to avoid what would be conflict and division.
This is how close relationships work and this is how a nation works.
This is how we live with each other in the common physical world.
In silo lifestyles especially those lived largely through digital media this lesson is surplus to requirement.
By separating mothers from their children and forcing them out of their home for 37 hours a week the Conservative and Labour parties are knowingly loosening the bonds of family and national life.
They do this because it creates a population that is rootless, compliant, and pliable (not least in the economic field), increasingly at social war against itself and increasingly dependent on the secular state for coerced action, regulation and provision where previously free association and voluntary coordination existed.
This pushing of women into cheap employment is compounded by late if any entries into marriage, no fault divorce and of course abortion.
It need not be like this. Another Britain is possible, even now.
We can rebuild.
We did it before.
“The contention may, or may not be true. It cannot be denied, however that the conditions created by the war have made for a disintegration of family life. The call up of millions of men, married and single, for service in the armed forces, the recruitment of women, the necessity for maximum output of munitions, the evacuation of children from their homes, have been cumulative causes which have made inevitable a separation of members of families on a scale enormous in it’s proportions. It may be that the separation is only a temporary necessity. It might prove to have an evil after effect in the years that are to come. At any rate it is certainly a disturbing, distressing unsettling influence.
The talk to the women of the Empire broadcast by Her Majesty the Queen on April 11th was therefore both noteworthy and timely. Whilst paying a noble tribute to their astonishing work, quiet heroism and whole-hearted sacrifice in helping to win the war, Her Majesty emphasized the importance of their task as homemakers, and, maintaining the influence of religion in the home was paramount, declared her conviction that it is upon the strength of the people’s spiritual life that the right building of the national life depends “ I look forward to a great rebuilding of family life as soon as the war ends,” Her Majesty stated. If our homes can be truly Christian, then the influence of that spirit will assuredly spread like leaven through all aspects of our common life, industrial, social and political.”
Her Majesty’s plain simple address needs no interpretation. It call’s for no comment other than that, in these tragic times, when our Christian heritage is threatened by adverse influences, we may well thank God that the “first lady of our land” has been moved to remind us that in religion alone can be found the source and mainspring of the courage and selflessness that the times demand and that the home is the foundation upon which the Christian religion is built.

London Devolution
commonrepresentation.org.uk supports the abolition of the London Assembly and the post of London Mayor.
We support the establishment of a London Council composed of representatives from the 12 inner London boroughs.
The other 20 outer London boroughs would revert to a pre-1965 status as independent boroughs.
The London Assembly was created by the Labour Party and supported by the Conservative Party in the year 2000.
With no primary legislative powers the Assembly remains just inside the definition of administrative devolution.
We still oppose it for three main reasons
1 It is an attempt to break up the UK by creating a "devolution" culture in the UK especially across England with "regional" counterweights to the legislative devolution in Scotland, Norther Ireland and Wales.
2 It is an attempt to "politicise" London by providing it with a centralised political machine that will act as a platform for future divison from the national polity.
3 We support existing and previously established "near and close" local government, full of local identity and character not centrally imposed (flatpack) "metropolitan regions", "city regions" or "powerhouse" cliche's. These exist only to take power away from local councils and impose "regional brands".

Yorkshire “Devolutiton”
Yorkshire has 5.4 million residents.
Yorkshire economy is worth £110 billion a year (twice the size of Wales and 13 Eurostate countries).
August the 1st was Yorkshire Day and there was a renewed demand for “devolution” for Yorkshire.
Conservative Party “Northern Powerhouse” minister Jake Berry said “I want to be very clear about one thing. There will not be a “full Yorkshire” deal. Yorkshire is a fantastic brand (our italics). But devolution is about giving control to cities.
Mr Berry is of course talking about administrative devolution (local government arrangements) not the “devolution” the Conservative Party (and Labour) inflicted upon Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Not Funny
David Davis is a senior Conservative cabinet minister.
He is allegedly in charge of getting the UK out of the EU.
Rather than apply himself to this objective he decided to play “straightman” to Alex Salmond’s “funnyman” in Salmond’s Edinburgh Festival Show.
They had a great time, laughing and joking.
This highlights how seriously the establishment views the condition of our country.
They are rich and in power. They do not care.
Meanwhile the nation is disintegrating in front of us and the British working class are in mass poverty attempting to feed themselves every week.

GET OUT
The Conservative Party (having stood on a manifesto in 2015 to stay in the EU) locked the UK into Article 50 in March 2017.
In doing so the UK is now at a negotiating disadvantage and bit by bit is dancing to the tune of the EU and it's agents.
The abolition of the UK's national frontier otherwise known as "free movement of people", the securing of the UK's land frontier with the Republic of Ireland and the UK's trade pattern are now all locked into the Article 50 procedure.
Article 50 was created by the EU, favours the EU and is under the jurisdiction of the EU.
We must get out.
We must repeal the 1972 European Communites Act immediately, rebuild and negotiate from
a position of strength.

Reformation
Without the Reformation there would be no United Kingdom.
commonrepresentation.org.uk among many others celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
On the 31st of October 1517 Martin Luther hammered his 95 Theses onto the doors of of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg in Germany beginning the Reformation.
The religious and political events that followed this action changed the course of human history.
In the United Kingdom our identity, authority, territory and liberty have all been forged by this event.
Without the Reformation the British Isles would have remained inside the orbit of power of the Roman Catholic Church and European kingdoms and principalities.
The Glorious Revolution of 1688-1690 secured Great Britain and Ireland for the Protestant religion, Parliamentary democracy, the rule of law and our civil liberties.
Martin Luther
I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. I cannot do otherwise, here I stand, may God help me, Amen.

Thought You Were British?
The Conservative Party’s new “settled” status category for EU citizens provides them (3-5 million presently here or shortly to be here) with near complete British nationality, it is not just a temporary technical measure it is and is meant to be, a decisive blow to the concept of British nationality and nationhood.
It is about the dissolving of the means of authorised, self recognition and the identification of the British.
The “settled” status category is the latest and most comprehensive measure designed to permit entry and rapid entry at that, to millions while ensuring that upon entry they are near indistinguishable from British nationals.

The Conservative Party
(Serving The Foreign Interest - Always).
With no respect for our nation, it’s independence, it’s history or it’s dignity, the Conservative Party continue to represent the foreign interest in the United Kingdom.
On the 5th August 2017 the Conservative Party Prime minster Theresa May and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson gave permission for the Primeminister of the Republic of Ireland to enter into the United Kingdom and campaign for a policy to be legislated for in the United Kingdom.
During the EU membership referendum in 2016 the then Primeminister of the Republic of Ireland was permitted entry into the United Kingdom (by the then Conservative Party Primeminster and Foreign Secretary) to campaign for the United Kingdom to remain in the EU.
This is the Conservative Party - this is what they do.

As commonrepresentation.org.uk marks the 20th Anniversary of Legislative Devolution we are pleased to publish this article from Stephen Bailey, a history graduate from Surrey.
Please contact us if you would like us to consider an article for publication.
We have a dedicated and influential audience across the United Kingdom and overseas.
Devolution and Independence
(We are being deceived, lied to and misled.)
Britain is being continuously lied to about the whole process of constitutional change. At the beginning, in the late 1990's,the government of Blair assured us time and time again that devolution would be 'an event'(IE a one off happening) and not a process, or more or less continuous series of changes. The Scots, Welsh and the Province of Northern Ireland would get a parliament or assembly with devolved powers but this would be 'within the UK' and the House of Commons would retain responsibility for major issues (finance, foreign policy, the army ETC).
This hasn't been adhered to. Over the years subsequent to devolution all the devolved bodies, but especially the Scottish parliament(and to a significant but lesser degree, the Northern Ireland Assembly) have slowly but surely accreted more and more new powers to themselves until we get to the current position where the Scottish parliament will have the highest degree of devolved autonomy that exists anywhere in the world(after the latest Scotland Bill comes into force).We shouldn't be surprised at this as Tam Dalyell predicted this happening back in the 1970's during House of Commons debates on an earlier, similarly mad, attempt at devolution. Tam was a proud Scotsman who often fiercely and intelligently fought for Scotland's interests in the Commons against all(especially English MP's) who took Scotland for granted or who treated her unfairly and/or patronisingly, much to the chagrin of those people guilty of such actions. He fought Scotland's corner in the Commons with great pugnacity and intelligence. However he realized that blinkered nationalism would lead Scotland into disaster. He also realized that Scotland's best interests lay in maintaining the Union. e dismissed devolution as '...a one-way highway to independence with no roundabouts or turnoffs'. In his later years he criticized devolution as unworkable as it is in the nature of devolved assemblies to continuously attract more power to themselves, ending in the demand for independence. And look how true that turned out to be.
During the debate in Parliament in the mid-late 70's on devolution Tam attacked devolution as unworkable as he thought that two parliaments in one country would simply lead to conflict over who controls what. Having two parliaments in a unitary country leads to the devolved region breaking away from the other part of the country as the two provinces can't agree on who controls what and as the devolved region accretes more and more powers to itself it gains the(often false) impression that it can go it alone-it seeks independence. Again, recent experience has proved him right.
The Scottish independence question has been beset with lies and distortions from all sides.The SNP simply told(and continues to tell) one bold face lie after another in order to bamboozle the Scots into voting for independence. It's now obvious that they did this because they had no concrete policies for the post-referendum period if they won. Vague promises built on sand was all they offered(with a good dose of extremely unpleasant anti-English rhetoric). Luckily the sensible Scots saw through their mad plans. But even the 'Unionists' have misled us. Cameron's 'Conservatives' weren't really Unionists and indeed actually believed that it would be good for Scotland to leave the Union as this would mean that they would rule the rump UK in perpetuity as they could easily get a substantial majority in the Commons if Labour voting Scotland is removed from the electoral equation. His successor, Theresa May is no different, and, whilst saying publicly that she doesn't think that a second Scottish independence referendum is needed has made no firm commitment to the Union and gives the impression that she would not defend it if Sturgeon started banging the independence drum again. She is cut from the same patrician cloth as Cameron and would simply cave in to the SNP's demands for another referendum. What's more, even though she didn't have to, she would respect the result. She can't be trusted to maintain the Union. Corbyn's neo-Trotskyite Labour Party is indifferent towards the Union and this is highlighted by his assertion that '...I am not a Unionist'.
The so-called 'Conservative and Unionist Party' are the worst of them all. Before the 2014 Scottish independence referendum Cameron promised that a 'no' vote would settle the question 'for a generation'(25-30 years?).He asserted repeatedly that this was a 'one off deal' and that this didn't set a precedent that would enable future referenda to be held .After the nearly 2-1 'no' vote he re-asserted this. He called the vote 'decisive'. Then, In order to frighten people into voting for staying in the EU he brought up the bogeyman of a second Scottish independence referendum if we left. Sheer scare mongering and hypocrisy. He knows he has the legal power (from both the original devolution Acts and the Smith Commission Report recommendations) to rule out a second Scottish referendum. It is perfectly clear from both the original devolution Bill and the later Smith Commission that the House of Commons retains full jurisdiction over constitutional matters, including the calling of referenda, not Holyrood. All this threatening of a second Scots referendum vividly displays the Conservatives real lack of honesty about the constitutional change issue-they have no real intention of sticking to Cameron's original 'one off deal' pledge and will simply cave in to future demands for referenda from the SNP. Their misplaced patrician gentlemanliness means that even though they have the legal right to they won't deny the Scots future referenda if they ask. They can't be trusted on this issue.
We have been continuously lied to and misled from day one about constitutional change by everybody involved in the process and their deceit will lead the UK to ruin, unless we stop them.

Powershift
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we have over the years referred to the shifting of the political plates in the United Kingdom.
We regard the political manifestations and trends of the past five years are evidence of this.
Some unionists are now content after the general election result and are happy to be cheerleaders for the Conservative, Labour and Liberal parties ( the very same parties that took us to the precipice of complete dis-integration and political chaos not even three years ago). These parties represent the foreign interest in the United Kingdom. They all support mass immigration, devolution, membership of the Eurostate, secularism, de-industrialisation, mass debt etc.
100 years after the emergence of the Labour Party to become a principal party of the nation (replacing the Liberal Party) it is now vital that a new party emerges as a principal party.
This time the political powershift is not about a shift in working class and labour representation inside the nation it is about the very survival of the British nation state itself.

20th Anniversary of Legislative Devolution Series
Part 2
The Division Bell
Conservative Manifesto 1997
“… the development of new assemblies in Scotland and Wales would create strains which could well pull apart the Union. That would create a new layer of government which would be hungry for power. It would risk rivalry and conflict between these parliaments or assemblies and the parliament at Westminster. And it would raise serious questions about whether the representation of Scottish and Welsh MPs at Westminster - and their role in matters affecting English affairs - could remain unchanged…”
Seldom has a manifesto so accurately predicted the outcome of a particular policy initiative and warned against it.
Unfortunately, for the entire United Kingdom, the Conservative Party ditched it's opposition to legislative devolution only 4 months and 10 days after the general election.
The division of the United Kingdom had begun.
As the result of the referendum on devolution in Scotland was broadcast, the Conservative Party surrendered and declared it’s support for legislative devolution. Rather than hold to it’s established position and prepare for the long haul of political work and persuasion, the Conservative Party fell to it’s knee’s to worship at the alter of legislative devolution and the referendum device.
With serious old guard “high Tories”, who did understand the implications of legislative devolution for the Union now few in number, hardly any Conservative’s even thought about the Union.
Any mention of the Union in most Conservative meetings was met with a laugh and a swift “let us move on” to the next subject.
The lack of depth of conviction and thought in the Conservative Party on the Union meant it was easy for the “New” Labour Party to take a devolutionist approach to the matter and be led by the federalist, separatist and republican forces inside and outside of it. New Labour like the Conservative Party was now all about money.
The authority to begin the experiment in legislative devolution on the mainland of the United Kingdom was exercised in the general election on the 1st of May 1997. The Labour Party under Blair had included a commitment to it in their manifesto, provided referendums in Scotland and Wales took place to ensure “popular endorsement”.
The referendum device itself was to be part of a new constitutional doctrine which would raise the referendum device to a new “gold standard” in democracy (20 years later this would lead to a conflict between Parliamentary general election (2015) and a referendum result (2016), on the matter of European Union membership, a conflict only resolved by another general election in 2017). Labour’s post war Leader and Prime minister Clement Attlee, had warned about such a conflict and described the referendum mechanism as “alien to all our (parliamentary) traditions” but in 1997, New Labour was intent that the referendum device would assist it preventing the House of Commons acting as a brake (it’s constitutional job) on the executive. The referendum device would be increasingly be presented as a counter authority to parliamentary authority and the matter of the Union in 1997 was the ideal subject for New Labour to begin its reintroduction of the referendum mechanism, which had not been used in the United Kingdom for 18 years since the last devolution experiment in 1979.
Labour Manifesto 1997
As soon as possible after the election, we will enact legislation to allow the people of Scotland and Wales to vote in separate referendums on our proposals, which will be set out in white papers. These referendums will take place not later than the autumn of 1997. A simple majority of those voting in each referendum will be the majority required. Popular endorsement will strengthen the legitimacy of our proposals and speed their passage through Parliament.”
“For Scotland we propose the creation of a parliament with law-making powers, firmly based on the agreement reached in the Scottish Constitutional Convention, including defined and limited financial powers to vary revenue and elected by an additional member system. In the Scottish referendum we will seek separate endorsement of the proposal to create a parliament, and of the proposal to give it defined and limited financial powers to vary revenue. The Scottish parliament will extend democratic control over the responsibilities currently exercised administratively by the Scottish Office.”
Labour’s victory opened the door to national division and dissolution. From May 1st 1997, bit by bit, power, patronage, status and money would flow to the devolved institutions, under the sponsorship of the Labour and Conservative parties not the SNP, (later installments both the Scotland Act 2012 and Scotland Act 2016 would take further substantial powers from the British Parliament and place them into the devolved parliament which now would have a “government” and not an “executive”, the nomenclature had changed to meet the rising status of the institution. The push for “parliamentary parity” was now on (even though the British Parliament is the sovereign parliament and the Scottish Parliament is the devolved one). The idea of the United Kingdom as a “family of nations”, an informal federal entity increasingly took hold, especially in the Conservative Party, for it avoided the party having to confirm that the United Kingdom actually still is a constitutional and legal integral and unitary parliamentary nation.
By 1997 however the matter of the Union had been neglected to such an extent that many did not even care about the Union (this was especially the case with politicians - elected in 1997 Theresa May’s “precious, precious Union” does not even rate a mention in her political life until she is Prime minister in 2016) while at the same time the Union was so familiar and taken for granted in general that to suggest or even question that it should be brought to an end and dissolved was not taken seriously until 15 years later on the 8th January 2012 when Conservative Prime minister David Cameron launched a referendum in which it was proposed that the United Kingdom be dissolved on the night of the 18th of September 2014.

20th Anniversary
of Legislative Devolution
Commonrepresentation.org.uk will be marking the 20th anniversary of the introduction of legislative devolution into mainland UK through a series of special articles (Part 1 can be found below) and activities (further information to follow).
We will highlight the division and waste that legislative devolution has brought into British politics and why we must have nothing less than repeal.
………………………………..
20th Anniversary of Legislative Devolution Series
Part 1
A Warning Ignored.
PREFACE
In 1997 there was no legislative devolution on the mainland of the United Kingdom. All government and administration took place through national government channels and for some delegated matters local council channels. This system is called administrative devolution.
This system remains in place in England.
Administrative devolution provided accountable and effective local government and administration of the public realm.
With administrative devolution there was: no devolved legislative powers, no third tier of government, no additional layer of devolved politicians (today 279 of them exist on three sites with a vast apparatus of political staff and substantial political budgets paid for by the British taxpayer), no territorial institution’s to aggregate powers to themselves and increasingly claim a status as a proto or embryonic state and of course no political personality to challenge the British Parliament for authority.
Administrative devolution worked well, very well.
It built the entire physical infrastructure of the United Kingdom that we know today.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the anti-devolutionists in both the Conservative and Labour parties warned that the introduction of legislative devolution into the United Kingdom, an integral and unitary parliamentary nation would lead to it’s dis-integration.
20 years after it’s introduction, we can now see the evidence in front of us that the anti-devolutionist’s were right.
Legislative devolution has introduced a territorial, electoral and institutional conflict into the United Kingdom and in the space of just 17 years the United Kingdom was taken from being a "strong and stable" nation to the edge of complete destruction by the political forces unleashed by legislative devolution.
The referendum on the Union in 2014, initiated by the Conservative party, not the SNP, is only the first direct challenge between the British Parliament and the devolved institutions.
Unless and until legislative devolution is repealed the next referendum on the Union is not that far away.
***
On the 1st of May 1997 the Labour Party was elected to government on a manifesto which included the introduction of legislative devolution in mainland United Kingdom.
On the 11th of September 1997 the Labour government held referendums (state sponsored opinion polls) on devolution in Scotland and Wales.
While neither referendum result contained a majority of the electorate, (devolution was not a burning issue for most electors in Scotland or Wales or in any part of the UK, who were more concerned about jobs, poverty and housing rather than some new fangled governmental arrangements for more politicians and another tier of government) but encouraged and comforted by the entire political establishment cheerleading for devolution, out of those that did vote, a majority supported the introduction of legislative devolution.
It may have been expected that faced with such a radical and dangerous constitutional alteration to the unitary fabric of the Nation, the Conservative Party would provide opposition and rally forces against it, however the opposite was the case.
As the result of the refendum was announced and broadcast, the Conservative Party (which had been wiped out in Scotland in the general election in May ) which had previously opposed legislative devolution (although increasingly it did not know why it did) immediately surrendered centuries of unionism and reversed it’s policy and embraced devolution with the zeal of the new convert.
(Since the 11th of September 1997 no principal party in the United Kingdom now supports the actual existing constititutional and legal form of the United Kingdom as an integral and unitary parliamentary nation).
The referendum result provided a convenient political cover for the Conservative Party to retreat from having to go through the motions of even having to think seriously about the Union nevermind having to defend it.
For decades the Conservative Party had regarded the Union as a distraction, a nuisance, a troublesome relic from the past just like the other heavy responsibilities of nationhood that it had no interest in.
It could now finally cast off unionism and concentrate on it’s prime concern and interest: money.
Devolution would also provide the Scottish Conservative Party with elected representation and public money to run it's organisation. Devolution’s gerrymandered proportional representation system of 129 MSP’s (72 constituencies and 57 “list” MSP’s) and generous financial support for political parties had arrived at just the right time for the Scottish Conservative Party.
No wonder there were so many happy Scottish Conservatives at the Conservative Conference in Blackpool in 1997.

“What kind of Union do you want?”
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we reject the secular Union favoured by others.
We believe in maintaining the Christian, Protestant religion as the national and established religion.
Our country was built on it.
(We further believe that the Church of England and the Church of Scotland should complete their union that begun in the 17th century but that is for another day.)
The emergence of the idea of a secular Union is part of the "progressive revolution agenda.
The record of the secular Union from 1960 is one of national failure, decline and disintegration.
It was crowned on the 1st May 1997 (year zero) by the election of Tony Blair (how did he get elected when today it is very difficult to meet a single person who admits that they voted for him? It is like the recent Radio Scotland programme that appealed for callers who would admit that they had voted Conservative in the general election, not a single one phoned in to admit it.)
Blair’s election was the victory of the "progressive" revolution of the 1960’s in 1997, 30 years after its
emergence.
Armed with secularism, de-industrialisation and funny money debt accounts (and assisted by Mrs Thatcher – the proto Blair) the British were to be encouraged into throwing away their Christian Protestant religion and it’s precepts including self-control and material prudence.
30 years later having indulged in the secular and debtfest based lifestyle there is little left of the
“strong and stable” nation state that existed in say 1959.
Morally (upon which everything else must be based), socially, economically, politically and constitutionally nearly everything now has been thrown away.
(see above Vassal Territory Blog Page: Entry 20 The Party’s Over, Entry 21 Throwing It All Away and Entry 59 Tidy Up).
The Union is now hollow.
We are now witnessing how hollow it is, as we even think about emerging blinking into the sunlight from our captivity in the Eurostate after 44 years.
Where have all the British people gone? Where are our churches? Where are our men? Where are our soldiers? Where are our ships? Are we still an island? Where are the mothers pushing prams and children playing and making friends in the streets? Where are our coal pits, Where are or industries and power stations? Where are our police? Where are our old folk? Where are our spacious and ordered streets?
They have gone.

Conservative and Labour Coalition? It’s Already Here.
The Leader of the Conservative Party has appealed to the Labour Party to join together to get legislation through Parliament.
While the Conservative Party appeals to the Labour Party for agreement, ideas and joint action it overlooks the 50 year old agreement already in place across all the principle matters in the United Kingdom.
This includes the covert joint action to get the legislation for the referendum on the Union (the Scotland Act (Modification Order 2013) through both Houses with no green paper, no white paper, no bill, no constitutional debate on the floor of the HOC in committee (the normal method for important constitutional legislation), no dissent, no division, no vote.
The Order was passed unanimously in a matter of hours in the HOC and then the same happened the next day in the HOL.
The only opposition to this, the most important piece of legislation ever to appear before the British Parliament was from commonrepresentation.org.uk which challenged it through the Constitutional Committee of the HOL and other parliamentary and government channels.
The challenge remains recorded for posterity through Parliaments and the Constitutional Committee’s records.
Across all the the moral, social, economic, political and constitutional matters facing our country the Conservative and Labour parties and their corporate and media machines are deeply and covertly united in pushing through the “progressive” revolution policies of the 1960’s.
This continues to be the case under Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn.
It does not matter who you vote for you will get the same principle
policies.
Secularisation
Mass Immigration
Membership of the Eurostate (we are still in)
De-industrialisation
Mass Abortion
Mass poverty
Mass debt
Mass Lonliness
Etc…..
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we welcome the explicit call for open joint action, we oppose the fake division between these parties, there is far more that unites them than divides them.
They are one party joined by an unwritten but understood manifesto dedicated to the “progressive” revolution and the consequent ruin and disintegration of the United Kingdom.
It’s not political unity we need it’s political division.
A division between one political constellation (party) representing the failed policies of the past 50 years and a new constellation (party) representing the policies that can restore and rebuild our country.
Unless and until we have this political division the electorate cannot make their choice and the United Kingdom will continue to disintegrate in front of us.

Pie In The Sky?
One month after the general election and there are still a number in the unionist commentariat that continue to attack the SNP rather than the Conservative Party.
The SNP are innocent.
There are three simple reasons why.
1 We have a parliamentary representative democratic constitution, it is impossible for a referendum to legally break up the United Kingdom.
2 The SNP do not have the authority in the devolved parliament to initiate a referendum.
3 The SNP can never have the numbers in the HOC to initiate a referendum on their own.
It is the Conservative Party along with their fellow devo-junkie’s in the Labour and Liberal parties that initiated a referendum on the Union not the SNP.
Quite apart from legislative devolution (which generates separation rather than administrative devolution, which poses no threat to the Union) the Conservative Party is also engaged in dissolving the United Kingdom in many other ways.
As the saying goes “there are many ways to skin a cat”
Morality
The Conservative Party (and Labour and Liberals re: Mr Farron)
is engaged in replacing our established Christian religion
(the foundation of our society)
with the godless equality and diversity religion and enforcing it in the public sector and in the private sector.
Mass Immigration
The Conservative Party, informed the Eurostate potentates (before they told the British Parliament) that a newly invented “settlement status” would be created to provide a virtual British nationality to the (official numbers) 3 million EU citizens that are here never mind those who are not officially here or who can get here pronto. A number of 5 million is nearer the mark.
Economic Disintegration
The price of the Chinese Hinkley power station approved by Theresa May only last year is already on the rise and you are paying.
These are just three examples of how the Conservative Party etc are dissolving the Nation
in non-constitional ways.
In our British Parliamentary democracy the SNP are entitled to campaign for separation and to become a statelet in the Eurostate.
The threat to the United Kingdom’s existence comes from the Conservative Party not the SNP.
Cheerleading for the Conservative Party explicitly or subliminally
is to give them strength and comfort, while they continue to dissolve the Nation.
There is only one option for the United Kingdom or it is completely finished, over, done.
A new party dedicated to the British interest must form and emerge and secure power.
For some unionists this is pie in the sky.
For them, if we are nice to the Conservative Party then it might be nice to Britain and might treat us a little bit better.
For them a new party is not practical, it would be a waste of time and effort.
It would cause political division and would take too long.
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we disagree.
In France today a new party has come to power.
It won the Presidency of France.
It has just won an absolute majority of seats in the National Assembly.
The party was founded on the 6th April 2016

Powder Keg
One week on from the general election and nothing has changed.
The Conservative and Labour parties remain the principal parties of power.
The United Kingdom remains on course for complete disintegration.
In the past five years the country has moved from active planned decay to a fast moving loose dissolution in the moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and governmental dimensions.
From our perspective at commonrepresentation.org.uk, the Conservative and Labour parties, the parties that are the political vehicles for the dissolution of Britain and who introduced legislative devolution and the referendums on the Union, have regrettably gained strength from tactical voting.
The “threat” of the SNP introducing another referendum was and is fiction and an effective piece of Conservative Central Office theatre.
A brief check of the Scotland Act 1998 will clear up that matter.
The SNP can never win a majority in the HOC
(it can only ever win 59/650 seats)
and it can never initiate a referendum on the Union
(the legal and constitutional authority to do so remains only in the HOC)
It continues to be the case that only an amalgamation of the Conservative and Labour parties can get a referendum through the HOC and indeed that is what they did with the Scotland Act (Modification) Order 2013.
The tactical voting project has strengthened the parties responsible for the referendum.
The referendum device will reappear shortly and it will be the Conservative and Labour parties that will champion it.
It remains a valuable weapon in the political armoury of the “progressive” movment.
Only “tactical voting” for a new national unionist party armed with a broad manifesto of restoration and renewal will provide unionists with what they want.
Meanwhile those who did vote Conservative or Labour are now complicit, having endorsed those parties manifesto’s and policies.
The snowball of political chaos that is now British politics is gathering pace.
Labour has called for people to “get out on the street’s” and protest against the Conservative government on July 1st while the Conservative Party attempts to news manage it’s way through until tomorrow, throw in all the national divison caused by the policies of the past fifty years and civil strife and public disorder (over and above the conveniently forgotten 2011 riots) is not too far away.
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we have warned for years of the United Kingdom’s exposure on a number of fronts, not least regarding power supply (including digital money), public infrastructure (including transport and water supply) and the serious absence of sufficient (in some cases non existent) police, army, civil defence, territorial army, police reservist, numbers, organisation (local and national), equipment, plans and facilities and other resources that are essential for the United Kingdom to protect and defend the British people in a time of local, regional or national emergency.
The country is a powder keg waiting for a match.

Staying In
While commonrepresentation.org.uk supports getting out the EU we oppose the referendum mechanism because it is an "alien" device.
We regard the referendum as a opinion poll containing no authority.
We hold the view that the only way the UK will leave the EU is by a party commiting to do so in it’s general election manifesto and defeating another party that wants to stay in.
This is how our parliamentary democracy works and how the British people get their elected political representation.
A referendum is a cold paper snapshot of opinion.
In a referendum no one is elected so no representation can take place.
The Conservative and Labour pro EU establishment today remain in charge.
They are engaged in keeping us in.

Homo Superior
At commonrepresentation.org.uk we can see the politics of the 1960’s in the current political outfall of the general election.
Anything associated with the Christian religion and national authority is now targeted as a threat to the “progressive revolution” of the 1960’s.
Which of course it is.
Even the word morality is now regarded by many as a hate word, it is now widely found with inverted commas around it to warn those of a liberal and progressive inclination that the writer is with them, that the writer too regards the word as archaic, out of time, judgemental and full of unspoken hate. Morality is a word – like many others – that has no place in this new socially advanced and higher utopia, this new age.
The advocates of the “progressive” revolution have always thought of themselves as the vanguard of a new age and a new way of living, in the words of the song, “the dawning of the age of Aquarius”.
They thought, and still do, that they were a new level of human development, the homo-superior, superior to that which existed – the Saps (homo-saps).
The self appointed next stage of human evolution.
You can still watch them every night presenting Newsnight or the Channel 4 News.
From the 1960s, rather than the emergence of a homo superior what was actually taking place was simply the cultural and artistic manifestation of twenty years of post war, peace, relative prosperity, full employment, the end of conscription and national service and commercial progress.
The Conservative and Labour parties, the establishment in general and the established church in particular, did not possess the will by the early 1960’s to repel and contain this largely commercial and artistic social mood which flowed into politics and provided a alternative cultural background to a political agenda hostile to the established constitutional order and dedicated to the dissolution of the United Kingdom’s Christian foundations, it’s social, and economic infrastructure, it’s authority and it’s integrity.
The 1960s “progressive” generation had it very good but only had contempt for their country. An NHS available from birth, council housing, good school, full employment, if they were talented enough they could go to university, many got longterm reasonably paid employment (many in the nationalised industries and expanding educational sector), afford to get married and have a family, go holidays and have a good standard of living.
They have ruined it for most of those who came after them.
For some – the children and grandchildren of the original homo superiors, they are still rich enough to indulge in their homo superior lifestyle away from or insulated from the British working class and the decay of the inner cities and outlying towns.
In the June 2017 general election patterns, we can look at the past fifty years and observe the moral, social, economic and political wasteland that has been created by politicians indulging the homo-superior’s in their selfish policies and watch as the last elements that made Great Britain are thrown into the fire.

Part 2
They Have Made Their Bed, They must Lie In It.
The 12 new Scottish Conservative MP’s are now in the fealty of the party.
They have made their own individual choice and rather than serve the British interest they have now sworn their allegiance to their feudal lord, the Conservative Party and all of it’s works.
