    A commoner, Keith!
    The House of Commons needs Levellers. We need the original Commonwealth as once envisaged by common English people in the 16th and 17th centuries. We never achieved it, because at the end the rich aristocrats always prevailed.

    In the 16 hundreds England should have abolished slavery in the Caribbean islands, but instead, people were being deported from the British Isles to the plantations there, which were run by wealthy English landowners.

    This flaw in England's Justice system led to the wealthy becoming rich through unjust means, at the cost of Society and of Justice; it resulted in the horrors of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, when rich factory owners made people work 14 hours a day 6 days a week, and 5 year-old children were sent down in the coal mines.

    Always remember, Keith, that commoners are not wealthy, and shun unjust means of gathering wealth. A commoner will never aspire at becoming financially rich, and must never renege the ideals of a true Commonwealth.

    The rich chief executives represent the exact opposite of "Commonwealth".
    They siphon off the revenues of the company (company = common) and that which should go to the share-holders they take for themselves.

    They are not bound by any share-holder opinion when establishing their wages and bonuses. These are the same people who used to own plantations in the Caribbean and run coal mines in 19th century Britain.

    I've always been a Socialist, Keith.
