Rejected petition Rename the official form of Governance of the UK from Democracy to Plutocracy.
We the people wish for the our official form of governance of the United Kingdom to be renamed from a constitutional democracy, to an institutional plutocracy, to more accurate reflect the current state of affairs.
More details
In order to accurately reflect the current political atmosphere in the UK, we the people feel it important that we accurately define what it is we stand for, as a country. It is a natural state of affairs that affluence will be drawn to power, and given that this country has a free press, it is now more apparent than ever just how much private wealth affects policy making within the UK. It is no longer accurate to define the UK as a constitutional democracy, given the current endemic lawlessness
