Profilcracy:the power of the people vs the power of datacollecters

We all know that the word democracy comes form ancient Greek language and means power of the people.
But after discovering what kind of manipulation has done Cambridge Analityca in order to influence the vote of the Brexit and the election of american president Trump in 2016 I'm really doubting of the real meaning of the word democracy.
What does really remain of the the original meaning of the word in our times?
May be it would be  better  to talk about profilcracy!
Yes, it would be! Since the primary techonologic social firms own a lot of our data and they use them to profile us, in the best case just to sell our profiles to the web operating firms.
But in the worst we may become just target for untrustful politicians who just believe in power: the power of the pofilmakers; not the power of the people.

Beyond the Hadrian Wall

My heart is sad, today. Our English friends have gone away from Europe. Our brotherhood is ended in the worst way. Of course I respect whato English people have just chosen on the polls. Nevertheless I feel sad. I dreamed, and I still dream, The United States of Europe and in my dreams England was a must to be part of it. I have in mind Jo Cox, killed because she was fond of EU. And still I think that this choose is the result of more than a mistake. But I made up my mind and I accept what the polls have decreed. Let me say, anyway, the paradox I see on the table: The Scots, cut off two thousands years ago by the Hadrian Wall, for they didn't want to be part of Roman Civilisation, now are complaining for their exclusion from Europe. And the English, who were so proud to be on this side of the wall, are now off.  I am a bit confused, and I also feel   a sense of betrayal on the history path. But that's politic! that's reality.  

Someone is smiling somewhere

I apologize in advance with those who voted to leave EU; I know they are the majority, though so  fragile and changeable as politic matters are; nevertheless let me say that the loss of parliamentary seats in the  House of Commons, suffered by the Tories in the last elections, has a meaning that in some way goes against the Brexit; only in some way, I agree, not completely against, for I know even the Labours will be working to manage a definitive leave; of course there is a difference between a hard and reasonable Brexit. 

The gap between the two ways is filled with what is more careable for a left side party: social solidarity; health security; more equal health distribution; public services; social protections for the weak, even if they are continental workers, or simply  foreigner workers.

Democracy, if the word has still a residual meaning, in this society dominated by  financial and multinational powers, means also to give space to different points of view. 

So I still thinking that Great Britain should remain; I still believe European must stick together to face the challenges the world outside is waiting for and UK could play a great role in these challenges on our side. 

I believe it is also on respect of the memory who gave her life to defend the weak, on defending European Union, like MP Joanne  Cox did. 

And I still believe London is forever.
