Democracy your Highness, remember?

So proudly they claim to be the oldest democracy in the ‘western world’, so proudly they praise their Magna Carta.
Well, 1215 was a long time ago, indeed. Maybe that is why your subject Mr. Tony Blair forgot the meaning of democracy, your Highness.
Today, the Times broke these news to the world, based on this document.
Well, had this been known a couple of weeks ago and the elections might have turned out to end with a different winner.
These are the leaders of our nations, our elected representatives, the rulers of our world!!!
We are screwed!
With all due respect, your Highness...

2-Learn how to read dates, the newspaper news is from yesterday
3-Learn how to read, the post is not addressed to Mr. Tony Blair
4-Knowing all the problems in my country is no reason to ignore the problems in other countries, specially if those problems have global implications that can turn out to become threats to my nation; 13/6/05 11:28
