I'm not a Brit but how can a country be run by corporations if the government is telling them what to do? Whether through judicial orders on what to filter, legislation on how to filter even more, and extraditions at the request of US federal government. There is a legitimate concern about regulatory capture, about large entities having an unfair advantage... However, whenever I see the whole "OMG CORPORATOCRACY" shtick nowadays I just think that the author has seen one too many scifi movie from the 80s about how we will be ruled by some Japanese Omni MegaCorp and it has forever tainted his world view. And then there's the signalling. UKIP is, of course, racist. The Pirate Party has a silly name. "What would my peers and colleagues think? We need a party that would make me, a constituent, look good to my friends!" On the other hand, moral preening as a primary political concern surely is a first world thing. So that's a good illustration. Not to mention that this article is yet another political manifesto with tenuous connection to technology at best.
