So you are attempting to make the point that the UK is not an equivalent democracy?

The house of lords can not create bills nor stop them. They can look over the elected parliament's shoulders and whine, that's it. It is a vestigial leaving of the monarchy system that, like the Monarchs themselves, the UK keeps because it's cute.

While in the US, un-elected corporations do very much the same thing, except when they whine, they get their way.

Thanks god that never happens in Britain.

I'm sure it does but in the UK, there is no Citizens United, where the Supreme Corporate Court of America (LLC) decided $$$ = speech, more $$$ = more speech, thus infinite $$$ to political campaigns = ALL GOOD HOMIES (This isn't even satire, this is actually their logic here).

Let's get real, it isn't the fact that corps lobby goverments that is the problem, there problem is when they can give unlimited cash bribes, like that can in the US. But they can not in the UK.

When you really start examining it, the US democrazy(sic) doesn't seem all that exceptional.
