I suggest a parade with floats and flags, marching bands and possibly a royal guest to bring about a state of national euphoria (nothing to do with Europe, Tora). We can trick ourselves into believing that this is the best we can possibly hope for and be content. The day will finish with tea parties and bonfires and we'll be damned glad to have been allowed to...

We'll have to start with a few clandestine meetings, in pubs and clubs, and suchlike places. Then, there will have to be some sort of agreement reached. The agreement will then have to be discussed and argued over. Some individuals will fall out with other individuals, but, at the end, one or two leaders will emerge. These one or two leaders will form their own splinter groups, which will then alienate the rest of the population. All such groups will then be declared illegal by someone, and that will be that.
//…well if you wait a GE will come along and you can do it then (if others agree with you)//
A GE is not a “coup”. It is simply an opportunity to replace one bunch of shysters, crooks, liars and charlatans with another (the choice usually made on the basis of the option the voter detests the least).
Personally I have nobody to vote for. All I want my government to do is three simple things: (1) to stop illegal entry to this country by thousands of people who have no right to be here; (2) to withdraw entirely from the Brexit agreement that was made with the EU and (3) to acknowledge that (what they call) “Climate Change” is here to stay, it cannot be prevented and to take sensible measures to accommodate it rather than ridiculous measures trying to counter it. Not too much to ask. It would be nice if they could also reorganise the NHS (or at least employ someone capable of doing so) so as it is fit for purpose instead of being a job creation scheme for overpaid executives which has to be “protected”. But you can’t have everything.
So bearing in mind no political party or candidates capable of forming a government are likely to pledge to undertake any of those tasks (not that I’d believe them if they said they would) I’m coming to the conclusion that my vote will have to be kept to myself.
A military coup would actually be a decent alternative. A handful of Generals, Air Marshals and Admirals could get themselves and their troops organised. Detachments spread across the country under a few Group Captains, Colonels and Captains. Then a couple of SAS patrols over the railings at No10 to dispossess the overweight police officers walking up and down eating Hobnobs, and they should be able to secure the building for the C-in-C quite quickly. Job done!
//The British are essentially a C/conservative nation.//
Indeed they are. Unfortunately this government has thrown C/conservatism out of a very high window.
