the various factions of the self-perpetuating English-raj class, the - hereditary - holders of the bulk of the wealth and the land in Britain. They've always been virulently anti-democratic; willing to shed much (of other people's) blood to prevent it, at the drop of a bayonet. This Savoy-opera parliament and monarchy set-up are part of their democracy-prevention machinery. If we want to see genuine democracies in Britain - particularly in England - we shall need to perform a British version of the new USAmerican revolution which Dmitry Orlov sketches-in here: http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2019/08/resurrecting-american-economy.html#more (No paywall.

A few revolutionary demos like that, in the Home Counties and the City should do it; The Scots will be making their own land-reform arrangements, post independence; as - we can dream - will the Cymry, once we have Y Gweriniaeth Cymru Rhydd.)
