Hey man, if you want to argue that British imperialism wiped out the power of local elites, and that was a good thing (or at least better than local elites continuing), I'm not here to get in your way. I'm just in opposition to the technological side of the argument.

They have the westminster system, something they could never have had under their local elites.

Everything else I concede as circumstantial at best.
