@Terry "The ruling class in the UK is the first Western ruling class in a hundred years to face the same problem faced by Eastern European Communist regimes in 1989 the extreme dissatisfaction of much of the population, with a large percentage of that population having concluded their dissatisfaction can never be resolved through the parliamentary system, so-called democracy. The Communist regimes fell in 1989 because they lacked the will to put down massive spontaneous public protests led almost exclusively by previously unknown men. This had precedent in the most spectacular example, thirty years before, in 1956 Hungary, the exact same thing happened, but there the regional hegemon, the Soviet Union, stepped in with the required violence, which it refused to do in 1989. Thus this path to regime collapse, as well as what a regime must do to avoid collapse, is well-demonstrated. Does the UK regime lack the necessary will in the face of mass protest, violent or not, as well?"
