PMQs #004 - I'm Withdrawing My Consent from the British State

What It Covers

Peter McCormack declares withdrawal from traditional UK democracy, arguing systemic government incentives prioritize politician reelection over youth welfare, creating generational wealth destruction through unconstrained power and institutional decay requiring constitutional reform.

Key Questions Answered

• •Generational Economic Theft: Young people need £39,000 pretax income for basic independence, £65,000 for middle-class lifestyle with two children. Previous generations benefited from property values doubling or tripling while current youth inherit £70,000 student debt with minimal job prospects and unaffordable housing.
• •Political Incentive Structure: Politicians operate as single-minded reelection seekers without power limitations. The 650 Westminster members bend fiscal policy, regulatory frameworks, and government resources toward maintaining power rather than serving national interests, creating systematic decay across all institutions.
• •Cross-Ideological Institutional Collapse: Reform Party rise on right and Green Party growth on left represent identical phenomenon—collapsed trust in traditional Labour-Conservative system. Both movements attract disenfranchised voters recognizing decades of failure from unconstrained governmental power regardless of party ideology.
• •Constitutional Constraint Solution: UK relies on gentleman's agreement constitution versus US hard-limits model with judicial oversight. Implementing enforceable constitutional constraints, potential new bill of rights, and legal mechanisms to sue government could prevent continued intergenerational wealth transfer and restore accountability.
