Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
This is a political characterization, not a precise factual claim. UK Parliament’s own description says Parliament’s main functions include making and changing laws, scrutinising the government, and approving spending/taxes, so it does exercise broad control over public policy, but that does not establish the subjective claim that “people in Westminster seem to want to control everything.” As stated, the claim is too vague and opinion-based to verify as true or false.

From article
No, no, no, they didn’t remove regulations. What they did was, they showered the financial services industry with a blizzard of regulations, more than it has seen in centuries – but at the same time they took away some good basic rules. It was the most enormous muck-up.
Ukip is a libertarian political movement compared with the mob in Westminster, who seem to want to control absolutely everything. I think we need less government, not more
