Mubarak vs Major - whose was the greater evil?

John Major, assumed power in Britain almost ten years after Hosni Mubarak, took over in Egypt, and ceased to influence British politics some ten years ago. Yet it is perfectly possible to make a respectable case that Major, in one decade, had a far more malign influence on the fortunes of his nation than the the iron-fisted dictator, and alleged mass torturer Mubarak, had during his thirty years of power.

Mubarak, took over an already existing dictatorship, upon the shooting of his predecessor at a parade. Major, was the beneficiary of a ruthless coup, instituted by an ambitious man at the behest of foreigners who went on to become Major's supposed Deputy Prime Minister and still exerts much influence over today's Conservative PM.

Major inherited a sovereign, independent, parliamentary democracy with an uncorrupted civil service. Many believe that Major declared those individuals supporting the continuation of such institutions as targets for the state intelligence sevices, to date this still remains unproven, given the climate of fear now prevailing in Britain. Nevertheless with the clear and growing evidence of national bankruptcy under EU rule, and the dreadful consequences of the deliberate misgovernance, we trust this will not long remain unclear.

Mubarak, if he stands down in the near future, will leave a nation much as he found it. Mubarak will be a victim of his own policies but felled due to the courage of his citizens and Quantatitive Easing (the logical end  result of Major's overthrow of Thatcher's sound economics) with its disastrous effect on the price of wheat on the world's largest importing nation.

The heirs to Major, of which Blair and Brown were fitting examples, will possibly remain in power indefinitely, with democracy now effectively destroyed, unless an Egyptian style protest of a newly politically aware British people can eventually be mounted and thereafter democracy and sovereignty restored.
