Anyone
who would have been unfortunate enough to be present at the UK
parliament yesterday, would have become a witness of a repulsive
spectacle.
The
British PM, Theresa May, was expected to have a tough time facing the
members of the parliament about her unprecedented decision to order
military action without the approval of the parliament, following the
US on the illegal airstrikes against Syria last week.
Yet,
instead of that, we saw that most of the members unquestionably
adopted the story that the Syrian army used chemical weapons against
civilians at the time where the last remnants of the jihadists were
ready to surrender. Without any clear evidence still. Almost zero
resistance against the Iraq war - type lies.
The
atmosphere inside the House was resembling a bad-directed theatrical
play. It would give you the impression that anyone who would dare to
challenge the "facts", would have been immediately
kicked-out from the room by the rest. Most of the MPs were even
congratulating May about her decision, completely ignoring the fact
that it was illegal under the international law, or, that it was made
without being authorized by the UK parliament.
Jeremy
Corbyn was the only one who dared to exhibit some resistance against
this ugly picture, by questioning (as expected) May's decision and
calling for international and political solution towards the definite
ending of that absolutely devastating war that tore Syria apart.
And
then, the Labour MP Laura Smith, dared to challenge May even harder
by straightly asking the question 'at what point Trump instructed her
that military action would take place', to get the response by an
angry Theresa May: "I [not the UK parliament] took this decision
..."
May
would not have made the same 'mistake' again. She would not risk a
'negative' decision by the parliament, as it happened in 2013 with
David Cameron, when the British MPs rejected a UK military action
against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government to deter the
use of chemical weapons. Besides, she has a very bad experience
herself when she decided to conduct national elections, believing
that she would strengthen her position in the parliament. She lost
significant power instead, thanks to Jeremy Corbyn.
So, she
decided to do something that even the 'tough Maggie' probably
wouldn't dare to do: officially abolish parliamentary democracy. In
the country that invented it, parliamentary democracy in now
officially dead. R.I.P.
