Do we have democracy in the UK or a series of dictators who are changed every five years or so?
Is the PM too powerful? Mrs May's announcement that she will ignore what parliament decides about brexit strongly suggests they are.

Democracy in the dictionary describes it as
A form of government in which the people have a voice in the exercise of power. Typically through elected representatives
(Concise Oxford dictionary definition:2011:page 381)
Trouble is politicians tend to define it by their own definition.
She can't ignore Parliament. Her job depends on it.
Fact is they don't understand why it's taken three years of secretive negotiations to come up with effectively,nothing(May's deal).
So i suspect there are moves afoot to either 'encourage' her to resign.
(They can't have a vote of no confidence within her party until December) OR maybe there are discussions with Labour so THEY put a motion of no confidence in the government and it gets support from all sides of the house thereby forcing a general election.
