The oligarchs run the show.
Democracy is disappearing as ordinary people are being stripped of power.
Sir William Ferdinand Mount has written a new book which describes the problem and offers solutions.
Ferdinand Mount is a conservative and an insider with links to two British prime ministers.
Mount
Mount explains how the oligarchs now control our 'formerly democratic' institutions, both local and national.
The oligarchs now control the political parties.
Decisions about executive pay, or going to war, are now taken by the oligarchs.
On 7 June 2009, the Sunday Mail revealed that shamed banker Sir Fred Goodwin is a Scots gangster's cousin. Sir Fred Goodwin, former boss of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), is a cousin of 'one of Scotland’s most feared gangsters', 'ruthless crime kingpin' Grant Mackintosh.
Mount points out that bank chiefs throw away vast sums of money. And then reward themselves with many millions in pay.
"One set of oligarchs- the fund managers - approve the size of salaries, bonuses and pension pots for another set of oligarchs - the CEOs, board members and senior managers".
Lord Green, who saw a lot of money go down the plughole when he worked at HSBC, is being touted as the next Governor of the Bank of England.

Sir Fred Goodwin, while working for Touche Ross, was chief operating officer of the worldwide liquidation of BCCI, Bank of Credit and Commerce International, in 1990. The BCCI was called the CIA’s money-laundering facility. (Bank of Credit and Commerce International - Wikipedia.) Sir Fred Goodwin was chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) from 2001 to 2008. His mother was of German Jewish heritage. (Fred Goodwin - Wikipedia) After University, he joined accountants Touche Ross. Reportedly, Touche Ross has had links to the CIA (Cached)
Mount has a number of solutions:
1. Limit the pay of the oligarchs.
2. Return real power to local government.
3. Return real power to cabinet ministers and members of parliament.
4. Return real power to shareholders.

UK Gangster Ronnie Kray and top politician Lord Boothby in 1963. Lord Boothby was close to all the top people from Churchill to Tom Driberg. Reportedly, Ronnie once said to a boy: "You will go home with Lord Boothby. You will do exactly what Lord Boothby wants. Or I will hurt you" (De Personen Encyclopedie)
However, Mount fails to tell us about:
1. Operation Mockingbird - the CIA's control of the media.
There can be no return to real democracy while the media is controlled by the spooks.
2. Operation Gladio and similar operations - the CIA's attempts to create fear and tension, in order to keep the oligarchs, and their mafia friends, in power.
3. Government linked pedophile rings, such as in the Dutroux case, which are used to blackmail people, and keep the oligarchs in power.
4. The CIA's reported links to the laundering of drugs money through banks.
