What could happen

[Timelord]

You can see in these middle eastern countries, how the dictatorial rulers support minority factions against the will of the majority factions. This enables them to keep the infighting going on and another excuse for repression. As you suggest Wayoun, it may be a plan well underway here. The indiginous British would not have turned on each other - after the last major wars of the 20th Century and at last we had a united & civilised Nation. Obviously this is not ideal to installing a dictatorship. TL.
