Britain’s New Regime: The Oligarchy’s Coup Moves Into Action

by Finian Cunningham from Dandelion Salad. The author's observation's about the Conservative party's recent takeover in UK and the impending attacks on public spending.
...all three main parties had let it be known that public spending cuts would be unavoidable. The Conservatives in particular showed marginally more zeal in doing the dirty business ahead and hence they received the backing of the corporate media, especially those titles owned by super-rich Rupert Murdoch.

So now we have the spectacle of two parties, neither of which received a mandate from the majority of voters, moving to herd the public into a budget slaughter. This is far from democracy and more rationally fits the description of a coup d’état on behalf of the financial oligarchy.
