      Boldmug running around like John Stuart Mill did representative democracy. Parliament: late 1600. Mill: 1800s. About that. Keynes-type.

      Are you suggesting that 1600s Parliament is what anyone today would call "representative democracy"?

      "Parliament was able to have the 1689 Bill of Rights enacted." They probably wouldn't, but they're wrong.

      I was questioning the "democratic representativeness" of Parliament more than its power. But 1689 was not exactly a normal year.

      Representation doesn't seem to change parliament's basic character. Apparently the house of commons dates to 1295?

      and universal adult male suffrage dates to 1918. Why say it wouldn't change the character? I think I'm totally missing your point

      If you're passing a bill of rights it's fundamentally a modern democracy. Mill was justifying stuff that was already happening.

      Parliaments everywhere have the same pathologies. Expanding the franchise doesn't change them, merely exacerbates them.

      "Bill of Rights" was a bilateral deal between generally powerful people in the country and a Dutchman who showed up with an army.

          "restates—certain constitutional requirements of the Crown to seek the consent of the people, as represented in Parliament."

          So who today would call it representative? The massively whig editors of La Wik, for one.

          They like to imply democracy has a longer history than it does: less than 5% of adult males had a vote.

          And that is apparently that is plenty for achieving all demotist pathologies.

          It lasted longer than any full-suffrage democracy ever has. Still, England never recovered fully from the Civil War, I admit that.

          The house of commons creates social ties to the lower strata and muddies the chain of ownership. That's your stage 1 melanoma.

          It merely decayed slower than the non-diseased parts were growing, until Enlightenment times.
