The UK is not a functioning democracy, at all.

Well it is because the judiciary smacked the secrecy side of it down pretty hard to make sure that it was done in public. That's a pretty strong indicator of a functioning democracy.

The judiciary is (thankfully) the most undemocratic institution in Britain. It functions well because it is undemocratic. It has no place being democratic. In no sense does its effectiveness indicate a healthy democracy.

The UK has not had any real political activity for 100 years. It's all a show.

If the UK represented the British natives then a lot of things would be happening that would get me banned from this website :)

It's run by a government elected with 34% of the vote. Before that, 43% of the vote. Before that 43%. Before that 37%.

None of that sounds like democracy to me.
