Were the July 4 elections in Great Britain the beginning of a political whirlwind that would result in a national divorce for the British Empire?

The public results of the July 4 elections in Great Britain were a foregone conclusion long before they were announced in late May. With how disastrously the Tories had handled governing Britain in the wake of the Brexit referendum, as well as over the course of the Covid hysteria and its aftermath, it was a given that a significant chunk of voters would swing their votes to opposition parties and so remove the Tories from power. The main beneficiary was expected to be the long-time opposition to the Tories, namely the Labour Party, and the expectation came to fruition, resulting in the resignation of Tory leader Rishi Sunak as prime minister and his replacement by Labour’s Keir Starmer. However, the election proved to be more than a mere changeover from one party to another.

Hidden in the details of the election results themselves, when evaluated in the light of other events and facts surrounding Britain’s current political situation, is a clear sign that a whirlwind is fast approaching Britain politically. This whirlwind will bring an end to the current British political system by toppling the Elite classes from their perches of power and breaking apart the last remnants of the storied British Empire, which has limped along in survival mode since its great downsizing in the mid-20th century.

As in the United States, Britain’s electoral system is largely a uniparty system with a semblance of choice among parties “approved” by the Elite classes within politics, news, and the aristocracy. However, unlike the United States, Britain’s Uniparty system is split into three major parties: the Tories, Labour, and the Liberal Democrats. The Tories and Labour take turns at the top of the ruling pyramid, with the Liberal Democrats, the descendants of the formerly dominant Liberal party, serving as an Elite-approved ‘wildcard’ party. Historically, all parties outside of this tri-party setup have been targeted for marginalization by the Elite classes and either ignored, slandered, co-opted, or treated with condescension to prevent their rise to any real kind of power or influence.

While this setup has worked well for the British Elite for the majority of the 20th and early 21st centuries, certain long-term trends and plans by certain nefarious actors within their ranks have begun ripping this setup apart. To preserve their power and save themselves from the long-term trend of consequences of a British government living above its means for far too long, the majority of the British Elites have turned to the globalist plan to re-format the world known as the Great Reset. To that end, they have pushed policies to establish new structures in British society that can be used to support or bring about this Great Reset.

King Charles III is a devoted believer in the Great Reset, and since taking the throne in late 2022, he has been using his influence behind the scenes to direct Britain towards this end. It is widely believed he allied with certain forces within the City of London and the Tory party in October 2022 to force Liz Truss from her position as prime minister. Her replacement, Rishi Sunak, had established connections to the World Economic Forum, the globalist organization at the front of the Great Reset campaign, which made the motive behind this move obvious. However, from the beginning of his reign, Charles made it clear through implication that the Labour Party and its leader, Keir Starmer, were his preferred choice to run the empire and bring about the implementation of the Great Reset. Content to let Sunak completely discredit the Tories in the eyes of the populace and so ensure a larger Labour majority, Charles and the British Elites held off on pushing for an election in the immediate future. They seemed content that everything was trending in the right direction for the eventual implementation of their plans.

That sense of complacent waiting vanished in late February 2024 when a local by-election for Parliament revealed a disturbing trend on the part of the British populace in the eyes of the Elites. In the Rochdale constituency, the voters delivered a stunning rejection of the Uniparty by electing populist leftist George Galloway of the Workers Party to fill a seat vacated by the recent death of a Labour member of Parliament. Further alarming the elites, the second-place finisher in the by-election was a local businessman running as an independent, and the drop-off in vote totals from the top two finishers to the Uniparty candidates, who placed third, fourth, and fifth was uncomfortably large. That, taken in conjunction with local poll numbers showing an increasing level of dissatisfaction with Labour and Keir Starmer in addition to the Tories, sufficiently concerned the Elites that Prime Minister Sunak felt compelled to make an impromptu speech the day after the election condemning ‘extremism’ and warning through implication against supporting individuals outside the Elite circles like Galloway or his right-wing counterpart Nigel Farage.

The reasons for this change in voting trends should have been obvious to the Elite circles if they had bothered to look at reality with their own eyes rather than through the rose-colored glasses of Great Reset idealism. Great Britain’s steady economic decline was leading to growing difficulties in living conditions for the populace, stirring up widespread discontent among the population. When combined with the ruling gentry being perceived as out of touch with the needs of their people, the voters inevitably began searching for other options. This is how voting preferences have changed within electoral systems for decades. One party is perceived as having been in power for so long that they have lost touch with the population, and voters switch over to a different party to change things up for the better (they hope).

However, what the world has not seen before electorally is what happens when an entire class of people, stretching across multiple political parties and ideologies, is perceived as being completely out of touch and in need of being replaced. This is the nature of the phenomenon now unfolding within Britain electorally and politically, which, in turn, is leading to the impending whirlwind that is bearing down upon the nation and its elites. It is this phenomenon that seems destined not only to completely upend Britain electorally but also to bring an end to the unified political entity known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The 2024 British elections appear to be the beginning of this whirlwind. In the wake of Galloway’s victory and other troubling local election results, the Elites finally seemed to sense the voters’ growing recognition that Labour might not be the solution to their domestic problems any more than the Tories had been. Left unaddressed, this would inevitably begin a process on the part of the voters to secede electorally by supporting candidates outside the elite-approved Uniparty spectrum. If so, then this was undoubtedly why Sunak was persuaded to call the election far earlier than originally intended. King Charles and his elite friends probably feared that the growing popular trend of electoral secession from the left and the right would reduce Labour’s chances at the kind of majority they needed to begin pushing through their Great Reset policies. To this end, they pushed for an earlier election to head off the possibility that non-elite parties, such as George Galloway’s Workers Party, or Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, would gain enough political power in Parliament to make accomplishing this goal more difficult.

To an extent, the tactic worked, just barely. Labour won over 400 seats, with the Tories hanging on to a little over 100 and the Liberal Democrats, led by former government minister Ed Davey, just barely breaching 70 seats. However, closer examination of the actual results and certain electoral details within them reveals that the British Elites may merely have bought themselves a little more time with a carefully constructed façade. Contrary to the media-constructed perception, the election results confirm that a seismic shift in the overall mood of the electorate is unfolding.

Despite the overwhelming number of seats, Labour’s percentage of the vote and overall vote total declined for the third straight general election in a row, ending up with fewer votes for the party as a whole than they received in their losses to the Tories in 2017 and 2019. Most embarrassingly for Keir Starmer himself, even though he won re-election for the fourth time, his vote total was the smallest he had won yet. Furthermore, it was discovered that Labour’s vote total might have been far lower had it not been for the electoral collapse of the leftist-oriented Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) in Scotland, which was likely due to the SNP’s long list of recent scandals. The citizens of Britain certainly did not give a ringing endorsement to Labour or its proposed policies. As Fraser Nelson, an editor at the longtime British publication The Spectator, eloquently opined in the immediate aftermath of the election: “it would be deeply misleading to take this parliament as a proxy for UK public opinion.”

The evidence was clear in the vote totals that voters on both the left and the right were looking for alternatives electorally. While many elites scoffed at Farage’s right-wing Reform party, garnering 14% of the vote but only winning five seats, they missed the clear evidence that Reform is a party on the rise in recognition and popularity. In addition to the five seats the party won, they came in second in an additional 98 constituencies and finished ahead of the Tories in 136 constituencies total. On the left, an anti-war, left-leaning coalition of Galloway’s Workers Party and a slate of independent candidates managed to win second place in nine seats, with an additional six independents winning seats from Labour. Labour also lost ground to the Green party, which won four seats, including one where they ousted a prospective member of Keir Starmer’s cabinet.

The vote totals for non-elite parties likely would have been higher if not for dirty election tricks that Elite-connected individuals and organizations carried out throughout the campaign. There was a relentless media blackout and intimidation campaign against Galloway, his party, and the anti-war left campaign, which undoubtedly contributed to Galloway losing his seat and the Workers Party as a whole not winning any seats either. With Labour being the preferred party of the Elites pushing the Great Reset, the extra effort to shut out Galloway and his left-leaning coalition was to be expected in order to minimize the danger of undercutting Labour’s expected majority, both during the election and later in the halls of Parliament. There were also extreme attacks against Farage and his Reform party. Everything from postmen defacing Reform UK election literature to an attempt to bait Farage into looking like a Russian stooge to an alleged attempt by a news station to frame Reform co-leader Richard Tice in a way that would have involved serious breaking of election laws. All these, and many more acts of intimidation, suppression, and slander against non-elite party candidates, spoke to a deep desperation on the part of the Elite classes in Britain to retain their power in spite of the growing swell of public discontent.

The whole situation in Britain going forward has the feel of an impending “unstoppable force meeting an immovable object” scenario. With the new Labour government fully committed to implementing the disastrous Great Reset program in Britain, the populace’s deteriorating domestic situation will only get worse. Many are predicting that the popularity Labour has left post-election will soon vanish, leaving them as unpopular as the Tories and leading to a dramatic rise in support for alternatives like the parties Farage and Galloway lead. However the Elite classes will certainly do everything within their abilities to hang on to the power which they have become so addicted to, which will undoubtedly lead to rising tensions between the everyday citizenry and the Elite classes holding these positions of power. This also means that Britain’s next general election will likely see a sharp rise in more acts of intimidation and suppression like the ones Galloway, Farage, Tice, and others endured in the election cycle just completed. In addition, with the power of the British Deep State being what it is and no written constitution or American-style bill of rights to tie their hands, it is not out of the realm of possibility that Parliament could seek to pass laws either banning or severely restricting these non-Elite parties as the German government is currently threatening to do to the “Alternative für Deutschland” party in Germany.

If the British people’s ability to peacefully change their representatives through the ballot box is severely hampered or outright eliminated, the populace will inevitably seek other methods of bringing about change in order to remedy their own untenable domestic situation. As this need to seek other avenues of change becomes apparent to a majority of the general public, it will eventually be understood that the removal of such an Elite class as a whole will necessitate a dismantling of the political system, which provides them with their power in the first place. This will mean bringing a final end to the British Empire that has existed in some form or another since the mid-16th century.

The foundation for this eventual result is already being laid through a sentiment of independence which is slowly growing in popularity throughout the British Isles. Despite the plummeting popularity of the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP), support among the Scottish people for Scotland seceding from the control of Westminster remains at a steady 45%. A recent poll in Wales showed that a majority of the younger generations are fully in favor of Welsh independence. Plus, the main Welsh nationalist party, the Plaid Cymru, is riding a wave of momentum after doubling its number of seats in Parliament and now has an eye to potentially winning a majority in the Welsh parliament in the next local elections. In Northern Ireland, the victory of Sinn Fein in local elections on a pro-reunification-with-Dublin platform has sparked much conversation that the days of a divided Ireland may be numbered. With the younger generations of Northern Irish appearing to be more firmly in favor of seceding from London to rejoin their brethren in the South, the trend certainly seems to be in that direction. Even in the far north Orkney Islands, there appears to be a general desire among the population to disassociate themselves from both Britain and Scotland. These are only a small sampling of decentralization and secession movements across the United Kingdom, which will grow in popularity if the British Elite continues on their course of implementing the disastrous Great Reset program and suppressing the electoral backlash of the populace. With the survival of their power hanging on the successful realization of the program, however, it is hard to see the Elites deviating from this course.

How soon the actual dissolution will unfold is hard to predict as there are so many individual factors involved. However, as the famous English novelist Charles Dickens wrote: “Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead.” That is the root of the political and electoral whirlwind that now faces Britannia. The Elite who currently rule her have chosen a path that will lead to their destruction, though in the fervor of their globalist idealism, they fail to recognize that their set course leads to the iceberg that will sink their Titanic. This will be the era recorded in history as the true end of the British Empire, with the fall of London as an imperial capital rivaling in historical importance that of the 5th-century fall of Rome.
