I read the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire many years ago. The process was quite slow. Many of the good things about the UK are still there.

I had my own "Umair article" in early December. It went viral (my first viral article in almost 4 years of being on Medium). I'm not sure why your article did not do better.

If you are interested having a "need to believe in something," may I suggest you take a look at my alternative democracy--which MUST be built by average people.
