The world turns and turns, to the rhythm of a universe which, curiously, also rotates, within a great balance of opposite and found forces, – as quantum physics is currently studying -, which makes everything move within certain “orbits”. and uniform ‘, as Copernicus and Galileo noted at the time of the Renaissance.
Thus, Queen Elizabeth II dies and her son Charles III replaces her. And the world continues to turn, while above all the rights that human beings have built to preserve peace and life within a peaceful coexistence, the force of relentless warfare arises, led by a truly opaque being, who has assimilated in his living the dictatorial, all-encompassing teachings and murders of the old tsars and Soviet tyrants. Putin, Vladimir Putin, kills, destroys, disrupts the world economy and threatens the brutal destruction of a great world war, in his hands, all initially against a peaceful people whose only sin is to want their own independence: l ‘Ukraine. And there is nothing the world can do to suppress it.
All this endriago would have arisen from Soviet “democracy”, now repeated in a capitalist way, but managed by the same bullies in the manner of “Ivan the Terrible”.
What a difference with what is true English democracy, even with institutions such as the monarchy that we repudiate with conviction, but which we admire at the blow of the events that mark its history. Mr. Boris Johnson, leader of the Conservative party in the final phase of the former ruler’s life, rises to power by appointment made by her after his party’s victory in the elections. Active Johnson, always on the move like that universe we talked about earlier, loses power because his minister Chris Pincher liked to groped men with a few more gins and because he raised taxes in the middle-class camp. He fell without hope.
He was succeeded by the same procedures of parliamentary democracy, a young woman, Lyz Truss. She was the one who brought Johnson down in a spectacular way. And King Charles, under the Charter of Rights, appointed the Truss to a cabinet. He complied quickly; but she was the shortest-term Prime Minister in high office. Because you have also touched on taxes and lowered them, understanding with Keynes’s thesis that if people have money they can buy and therefore there is no recession. But the story worked in the 1930s, not now.
What follows is that today, with the same rules, Rishi Sunak, a Hindu born in England, rises to power. Brilliant figure of 42, athletic and with an overwhelming bearing, himself a millionaire, like his wife Akashata Murty, also of Hindu origins, and in front of whom the king is a kind of poor man.
But democracy prevails. The king appoints it – he must do it – and takes possession of it. He triumphed in a country that the Hindus hated and became independent. And the British too, in a way, hated them. It is like a kind of vengeance of the times, because it cannot be forgotten that Churchill in the full grandeur of his life, referring to the greatest Hindu of all time, Mahatma Gandhi, said of him that he was just “a mere fakir in his underwear. “.
