Congratulations on the National Day, May 17th, which marks Norway's constitution from 1814. Our democratic foundation.

The #Tory and #Labour parties no longer represent the interests of the majority of people in the #uk

Poll after poll shows that the public want #Brexit reversed, the #NHS fixed, #socialcare fixed, #education fixed, an end to the #monarcy and #houseoflords etc etc etc. We get none of this.

The politicians wonder why we say they are out of touch and voting doesn't change anything.

The country is run for the benefit of about 1000 individuals.

The county

LMFAO at people losing their shit about Camilla being called #queen not Queen Consort.

You should really be enraged by the very concept of #monarcy not the stupid names they give each other.

Are #monarcy and #religion only #relics from before #democracy came?

It could appear that they in their era both managed to develop resilient organisations and traditions with convincing #ceremonies, #magic, #symbolism and #myth.

In the process they developed away from actual #military capability and collected great #wealth.

To the extent democracy works, monarchy and religion seems redundant.
