ALL OF THE ABOVE | The ‘Establishment’ Political Parties and Tribes

We are all being failed by the Public Representatives we have elected as representatives of Political Parties.

It is inevitable that ‘Party Politicians’ will always be expected to put the interests of their Political Party and the Establishment they are part of first, before doing anything that would be good for anyone else.

Any Public Policy that works out well for any of us today, is just a happy coincidence.

There is very little good that comes from Public Policy for People that was directly intended or put into being through a fully considered process and genuine choice.

The Establishment Political Parties and Tribes include:

  • The Conservative Party (Also known as The Tories or Tory Party)
  • The Liberal Democrats (Also known as The Lib Dems)
  • The Labour Party
  • The Scottish National Party (Also known as The SNP)
  • The Green Party
  • Plaid Cymru (Also Known as The Welsh National Party)

When the Politicians and People who lead us are out for themselves, how can we expect anyone else to behave differently?

We cannot continue to make allowances for and place our trust in People who have asked for our support and taken it. But then misused the power that we have entrusted them with, and behaved as if what they want and what’s good for all of us are one and the same thing.

Equally, we cannot afford to waste years on new, up and coming Politicians, Influencers, Activists and Political Parties who tell us they are different. But by the very act of telling us what we should think, are demonstrating that if we treated them as a real alternative, that when elected and in power, they would then behave in exactly the same ways as the Politicians we already have.

There are good People within all Political Parties and plenty of them are genuinely well meaning. But few of them really understand the responsibilities and the power that they have been given, and what being a good Public Representatives means.

Without the knowledge and leadership skills that public office should always require of those holding such responsibility, it means that the People we have running the Public Sector and the whole country right now and for the foreseeable future – without change, are the last People that any of us should knowingly elect to Public Office and put in charge of whatever happens next.

At best, we live in a mediocracy where everyone we elect is out for themselves.

With the challenges that we now face. mediocre leadership is simply not good enough for our Communities or for ourselves.

The Problem with Politics & Politicians | Who are ALL OF THE ABOVE?

You may not realise or even understand it. But because Politics or rather our Politics is about what we believe at an individual or personal level, it also means that we identify ‘our Politics’ as being part of or who we really are.

Regrettably, this means that most of us find ourselves getting emotionally tied into the way we think politically. Especially if we have historically identified with a Political Party, group or ‘tribe’.

Even now, if you have been tribal in your approach to Politics in the past – and it won’t matter if you’ve Voted Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem, Green, UKIP or any of the names we associate with the broken Politics of today and the past – the chances are that deep down, you still feel some affiliation with that Political Party and hope that they will soon ‘come right’.

It’s time to accept that they won’t.

And it’s not like any of them haven’t had chance after chance to be the change, time and time before either.

Officially NONE OF THE ABOVE can only work if we consciously disassociate ourselves and keep disassociating ourselves with the Politics of the past (today) and our past political thinking – whether its in respect of our own outlook, or those we have previously thought of as being ‘the enemy’, who you are probably by now beginning to understand have much more in common with us than anything meaningful that any of us should be allowing to drive us all apart.

Politics Today | The Negative Stuff (That we cannot avoid)

Regrettably, presenting an alternative to what we have already got in Politics wouldn’t be complete with at least touching on the reasons why the Politicians that we have and The System that brings them to the ballot paper isn’t working for any of us.

Strange as it may seem, because of how bad things have become in Politics, telling the truth or being realistic about what is happening will always be treated as or considered to be negative by some.

Objectively and in reality, being negative and being realistic are two very different things.

Whilst it makes it sound like we are engaged in a war (which some People genuinely now believe that we are), we really do need to know and understand our enemy, before we can create or implement the methods and practices that mean we will ultimately win.

However, the reality is that in the majority of cases, the Politicians and People who have created the problems we have and who will continue to create them, IF we do not replace them with People who have the integrity and purpose to represent us, are not bad or evil People.

They are simply lacking awareness. They are selfish. They are without moral principles. They have a very restricted or self-serving view of what humanity is and the difference between wrong and right.

If many of them were able to see life in a different way, they could, in time, become just like any friends we have.

There is nothing wrong with them, except for how they behave and what they fundamentally believe.

Warning: For change to happen in Politics you must think and act differently. Leaving change to everyone else is thinking the same way as you have been all along.

You must be the change is itself one of the most important messages within Officially NONE OF THE ABOVE and every book that relates to it.

Regrettably, we have become accustomed to the idea that somebody somewhere else will always sort out the problems that affect everybody else.

Strangely enough, we then don’t understand why help doesn’t come for us when the problem is now ours and we are the ones experiencing the pain.

It’s time to join the dots up.

Officially NONE OF THE ABOVE will only work if you and People like you dare to change the way that you think.

Then, We must ALL act to create the change, removing the power from other Peoples hands, taking back control of OUR OWN POWER.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the way things work now is the only way. Ask yourself the question, Who is the only beneficiary from you or anyone else believing and thinking like that?’

THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS BROKEN. IT DOESN’T WORK FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. IT DOESN’T WORK FOR YOU.

IF WE WAIT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO BROKE THE SYSTEM TO FIX IT, THE FIX THAT COMES WONT BE MADE WITH YOUR COMMUNITY OR YOU IN MIND.

ONLY YOU CAN FIX THE WAY POLITICS WORKS FOR YOU.

TOGETHER, WE CAN ONLY TRUST POLITICS IF IT IS RUN BY PEOPLE WE TRUST.

THE ONLY PEOPLE WE CAN TRUST IN POLITICS FOR OUR FUTURE WILL BE PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE SYSTEM LIKE ME AND LIKE YOU.
