I'd just like to clarify some things for my International friends.

A party that was elected by 42.4% of votes versus 40% of votes and because of that held 20% more seats and thus felt empowered to enact a thing that 37.46% of voters voted for recently had a motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister.

After a period of two months in which 317 Conservative MP's chose two potential successors to the post - a period in which nothing was done in government but campaign for the post - an undemocratically chosen two hundred thousand Tory party members 'democratically' - in the loosest sense of the word - chose the whitest of the two candidates and the candidate the Tory MP's least wanted.

After two weeks of burying the Queen, the new former Hedge Fund chancellor and new Prime Minister did a mini budget that they refused to have the Office of Budget Responsibility vet that crashed the market and the pound, much to the delight of Hedge Fund managers everywhere.

Afterwards the new chancellor joined his previous colleagues for a champagne supper.

The Tory party - never a party to keep the knives in the cutlery drawer for long - started politicking against the new Prime Minister, culminating in a defenestration of the new old Chancellor and his replacement by the new new chancellor, who had previously campaigned multiple times to be Prime Minister.

He was now calling the shots and U turned the budget.

This was a guy not voted for twice by the 317 and never voted for by the 200,000.

Today the Home Secretary was defenestrated. She had called what was happening a coup.

And it is, isn't it?

People say they want democracy until it gives the wrong result. And then the 'adults' have to step in and fix it, tight?

We the people? We don't get a say.

Right now Labour are polling 30% ahead of the Tories. If there was an election tomorrow, the Tories would cease to be a political party. The SNP - the Scottish National Party - would out number them.

In 2011 the then victorious Tories - elected with 36% of the vote and receiving 47% of MP's brought in a fixed term elections act designed to mean elections happened after legally mandated lengths of time. For fairness.

In the last eleven years they have twice torn this up to force a democratic election on their terms and have memorably prorogued parliament so politicians couldn't democratically vote. Then they removed the whip from most moderate Tories so they couldn't democratically vote.

Britain has ceased to be a democracy. A government made up of an undemocratically elected group have been deposed by a group of even less democratically elected politicians. Maybe this is by force of argument or force of personality and not force of arms, and maybe I prefer a government that doesn't trash the pound and throw the doors open to fracking, but that doesn't disguise what this is.

A coup.
