The Monarchy and Establishment are one and the same to me and likely many others. When you authorise an illegal war, then you are just as culpable as the snakes that voted for it in Parliament. And there is little that is democratic about Britain. The Iraq war was testament to this as are countless policies prior and since. There have been more wars and hardships imposed and there isn't even the pretense of a democratically elected government anymore.
People think and do what they feel is right. If Brand wants to express himself by saying he rejects the system then good for him. In terms of mainstream politics I agree that it is the correct call. It is a farce with no legitimacy. The monarchy of course has no legitimacy. Does that mean I don't want change? Of course not. Of the existing parties I agree only the Greens are worth voting for. However, my only qualm is they will likely not get close to power in time to do very much. Even then the EU largely controls the UK and the EU itself is a travesty (brought about by fine men such as the highly regarded and recently dead Leon Brittan).
Short of an actual revolution, there won't be any significant change and revolution does not mean war. It means peace. It means major changes like booting out the EU, the monarchy, rebooting the civil service, going back to the Magna Carta and Common Law, everything. Do I want change? Of course I do, but a small party saying they want the Queen in a council house is only a start. Change can happen very quickly and when you think it might never happen at all. This place is testament to that. I have faith that it can and will happen.
Brand is not the answer, but if he can raise some awareness and start young people thinking for themselves, then it is a start. Next they read their Klein, their Chomsky, they study common law, they learn about lawful rebellion and so on. And for sure, maybe they can even vote Green. It's up to them. Once people are tuned into things like that, then there is only a bankrupt establishment with a failed central banking system remaining. It's like the Wizard of Oz, the system doesn't have any answers and people are waking up to that.
