OPEN BORDERS !!!! OPEN BORDERS!!!!!

Don't panic ......... you may go across any border you please. How about a nice trip to the Moon.

In answer to your question, without agreeing in principle with your 'sentiments'; politicians never listen to the people. They may hear what you say, but they do not listen. This is a universal rule.

A great soldier, MP and scholar, Enoch Powell had the courage and foresight to warn politicians what their insanely stupid policy of open borders would cost the people of England. All he foretold has been proved to be correct, even to the destruction of everything we value about being English.
The politicians did not listen then and they won't now, as you say, so is it not better to rid ourselves of this overly expensive crooked encumbrance and seek alternatives to Parliament.

Perhaps you didn't understand me. The lack of listening on the part of politicians is 'universal', not limited to your Parliament. What would you replace it with, the U.S. system, dictatorship, anarchy, a true monarchy? What? From time immemorial, most politicians have not listened. When they campaign, they pander to us for the most part, when they get elected they follow their own agenda. They expect us to listen to them, not vice versa.

As I said, I don't agree with you in entirety, I have absolutely nothing against productive immigrants, my country was built by them and they still contribute greatly. It is natural for immigrants to want to keep to their customs and to associate with their 'own kind'. They are 'strangers in a strange land', often excluded, and never given a chance to assimilate. When was the last time 'you' reached out to them, tried to make them feel included, instead of on the outside looking in. 'We' complain about them not assimilating while at the same time, excluding them. Sounds like the recipe for a self fulfilling prophecy to me.

As history records the Native Americans were, and still are, just as unhappy about mass immigration as I.
We have a long and, mostly successfull, history with the Monarchy, The Queen is still titular head of GB and the Commonwealth, would that she were more.
Recalling 'Pol Pot' Bush aka the 'gopher' as he ran into the deepest hole in America during 9/11. and , to their everlasting shame, the less than supreme court: the last thing we need is to emulate the US style of government.
In our long history we have had a 'Barebones' Parliament (1653) which, after over 400 years, STILL holds the record as the MOST SUCCESSFUL Parliament in history. Our Queen can appoint such a parliament under various circumstances. And, we were never in so much need as we are now.

Will she listen?

So you want a powerful monarchy? You're welcome to it. One man's monarch is another's dictator.

Bull s hit and a cheap shot. Move on.

please explain, briefly, a 'barebones' Parliament

Powerful Monarchy....... Yes! Yes! Yes! Almost anything would be better than the political half-wit thieves and their hangers on who squirm their way by, what Sir Walter Raliegh called - false love, into positions of power with only one goal, self enrichment.

Not cheap ... a recorded fact. Bush ran! as all Dictators do in the end.

'Barebones' Parliament: you can Google it.

Odd as it may seem, the morning UK newspapers are advocating almost exactly what I posted last week: that it is now necessary for the Crown to take a position for the security of our country.
