The giant step or quantum leap on the path of voluntary change is reaching the understanding and the acceptance that what we genuinely need from our Politicians and from Government now and for a better future will not simply be offered up to us on a plate.
There are plenty of wannabe politicians as well as existing politicians who can appeal to many of us as an alternative to what we already have right now.
Those who covet public roles, just like the Politicians in control today did so before they assumed power will use words, use the media, use social media platforms and even look a certain way that sounds like or gives the appearance that once elected they would be different, do different things and take governance of our Country in a very different and beneficial way.
Regrettably, the majority of these people are or would be no different to the Unconscious Politicians that we have already got and would deliver Public Policy with the same biases and being subject to the same kinds of self-serving motivations and influences as Politicians we see sat as Conservatives, Greens, Liberal Democrats, Labour and the SNP already are.
For example, as I write this in late November 2022, the Political Party or Group known as ‘Reform UK’ which doesn’t currently have any seats in the UK or Westminster Parliament, is promoting itself as an alternative to the current government on the basis that it says it will stop illegal immigration via France across the English Channel – simply by ‘stopping the boats’.
Single issues are by their very nature single issues. That’s not what General Elections are about.
The existing Political Parties and the Politicians who appear to have credible policies that suggest they will solve the widest number of problemswin General Elections, because their approach touches most areas of Public Policy.
However, the Parties that we have – even the ones we haven’t elected yet – do so Unconsciously.
The Political Parties and the Politicians we have whether elected or not, do not understand, consider, make allowance for or think about the consequences of everything they touch for everyone who can be touched by what they do.
They are false prophets. With messages that appeal because something or some part of it looks or sounds great to enough of us in some way.
The reality is that they are Unconscious and have no appreciation of what their piecemeal involvement in Public Policy and legislating will really do.
There is no meaningful exception to this rule.
