Hey guys, it's your favourite blogger artistic_opinion and today is going to be about politicians. Just so you know it will be a short post but yeah! Let's begin!

A politician is a person active in party politics, or a person holding or seeking office in government. Politicians propose, support and create laws or policies that govern the land and, by extension, its people.-1

Is our country a democracy?

There is a VERY VERY big debate on whether our country is a democracy. An example of this, in my opinion, is when Boris Johnson got elected as Prime Minister. I cannot really say he got elected because it was not our choice or voice which got him elected. It was really the MPs. But that probably was because it would have been such a big hassle. In contrast, we did have a new general election recently which the tory party had won so it is clear the UK definitely wants the conservatives to win

When Boris Johnson first became Prime Minister, the reason it was not put to the public was because it was not a general election where any of the parties could become in charge. It was to decide who would be in charge of the conservative party. Therefore, the people who decided who should be in charge were members of the the Tory party. The same is going to happen now that Jeremy Corbyn has resigned with the Labour party.

  And do you agree that members of the Conservative's should have been the ones to choose our new Prime Minister, after Theresa May resigned?
