In the next
five months the electorate of the UK will be circling the Bermuda Triangle that
is British politics while their present leaders and other potential ones
attempt to navigate despite the compasses and other equipment going wild or
dead.
The three
sides to the triangle are climate change, issues arising from demographics and
population matters and Europe. Deep
beneath the waters are the great trenches of property, inhabited by voracious
beasts and the other connected one of debt, with much the same beasts and other
creatures unknown or unpredictable.
Then further
into the deep are many caves, tunnels, holes and the rest that are the places
where all our political myths and fantasies let alone dogmas have their slimy
origins. It is a world of taxation,
benefits, subsidies and channels for funds going who knows where.
Also down
there is the wreckage of so many ships of state and airy policies, manifestos,
promises, commitments that all disappeared without trace often in a puff of
mist or a glitch in the magnetic field of events. We shall never know really why only what ancient
legends, folk tales and fairy tales might claim.
In my purely
personal opinion, taking account of all the factors into consideration and
after an in depth study and analysis of all the information and relevant
research, I have come to firm conclusion that may be moderated according to
changing circumstances and a frantic need to claim I was right after the
election.
We are all
doomed.
I agree. I don't expect anything useful from the election. Habits are too ingrained, vested interests too powerful, and the moral compass fell overboard years ago.
