The fact that you endorse the "Greed Is Good" principle to governing the country is disappointing. You also conflate these objectively valid suggestions with the "eventual demise of the democracy": a deliberate overreaction.
None of these would damage democracy, in fact they would do the opposite. Endorsing visible corruption by those in power is the road to the demise of the democracy.

Major Tory donor put in charge of handing out honours - a post that is meant to be independent and non-partisan. Totally normal and not corrupt at all, in Johnson’s 2022 Britain.
