What examples can you give to illustrate your point?
History.
Every nation throughout history has had an untouchable establishment.
People in so called democracies think that because they can vote this no longer applies but when you vote there are huge structures such as the banking elite the moneyed elite the Royals and a globe full of property they own ... the military establishments intelligence establishments the religious establishments and so on.
Their are hierarchies as there have always been that are never affected by your vote.
The intelligence apparatus is barely answerable to anyone or anything.
No one can monitor their financial transactions or much of anything else they get up to.
Imagine becoming the next prime minister and saying right I want to know everything they get up to and have been getting up to and how it's all financed and why.
You'd be laughed at.
The Harold Wilson government is an example of the establishment becoming rattled as he was starting to go beyond what they allow governments to do with their fairly free hand.
Can you imagine Corbyn taking office and saying ok were starting off with taking away from the banks the power to create money out of thin air and then lend it at interest as it's the cause of most of the world's ills.
It simply would never be allowed so how strong is democracy?
How real is it?
The establishment are far more powerful than our votes and intend to remain so.
Of course we're educated to never think about an establishment that is higher than government.
I'm off out goodbye.
