We have the wrong politicians doing the wrong things because their reasons for being there are wrong

“Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”, is a very wise and famous quote from Albert Einstein – who as the world and historically renowned Scientist that he was, had plenty of experience and empirical data to back it up.

Not that we should even question the truth anyway. Given that it really is common sense that doing the same things result in the same experiences – like driving the same route to work at the same time; ordering the same food at the same takeaway, or indeed taking exactly the same approach that we do for the things we don’t do every day, but where repeated patterns of behaviour (doing and NOT doing things) all add up to the same, over and over again.

Our approach to politics is insane; so, it’s hardly surprising that what we are experiencing today is also insane

What few really think about, and some would not willingly agree with is the reality that we are now doing the same things in our relationship with politics, elections and government, repeatedly.

Although the people we elect, the political parties we put in power and what they say and appear to do may appear to be different; when it comes to the results and outcomes we are experiencing, it all – no matter who or what we elect – is adding up to the very same thing.

The illusion of change

Getting our heads around the reality that Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and yes, even Reform are all working for the same outcomes isn’t an easy equation to wrestle with.

We do, after all, have a rather contradictory relationship with the truth, that when it suits our purposes, a different person, company, organisation or party will always be different. Whereas when it comes to everything that benefits us personally, we fall into the equally massive elephant trap of believing everyone else thinks and behaves the same.

Yet it is the case that we have politicians with different faces, different attitudes, different ‘politics’, different affiliations and different backgrounds, all delivering the same things. Because no matter what information or observation we use to make our next election choices, every Party that holds power or gets candidates elected to Parliament or our Councils are recruiting and selecting the same kinds of people who will do, say and ultimately be whatever the parties decide they want those politicians to be.

The system has a system for electing politicians

Unfortunately for us, the concept of democracy in the U.K. – no matter how celebrated and championed it may be, really is one of the biggest whoppers we fool ourselves with – especially as we are all taking part in and contributing to the lie.

Yes, if there was a General Election tomorrow, most of us would have a Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat or Reform candidate to choose from on the ballot paper and perhaps an SNP, Green or Plaid Cymru candidate (or other) too.

But these candidates are all people who have been assessed, considered, qualified and then put forward as the choice of their Party, then and only then to then be placed before us as an option when we make our choice, whenever the next election comes.

We don’t choose our politicians. Someone else does and that means those politicians will always (be expected to) put their loyalty to who put them on that list, first, before anyone or anything else – including the people who vote for them who they are supposedly there to represent.

The people who want to be politicians

It’s not helpful to believe that everyone in politics is there or that they got there because they are all in it for themselves.

There are certainly some very good and just as many well-intended people who put themselves forward to become candidates, for all the Political Parties, who really did step forward with every intention of doing the right thing for everyone.

However, in a political system that works and operates for the system itself, rather than the people that the political system is supposed to represent, it is inevitable that genuine public representatives will either quickly become disillusioned, once the penny drops about how politics really works once they are on the inside. Or they will be controlled with threats or punishments meted out by their party apparatus, or they will be removed (and sometimes thrown to the media wolves), if they will not agree to toe the accepted line.

To succeed in politics as it is today really does mean doing whatever you are told. Because the affiliation to the Political Parties and whoever is running them today is more important than anything – If the politicians themselves, want to stay in the limelight, keep getting rejected and therefore keep the ‘job’.

Where do the voters register in all this in so far as the party politician’s hierarchy of needs is concerned?

Well not very high – if indeed it registers in any way at all, and that’s why we only feel we matter to politicians during the run up to the election from the day whenever it has been called.

Our feelings and intuition really don’t lie. But because the election is then over, we quickly forget how we felt.

By the time the next election comes around we just go and do the same things all over again!

What happens when the wrong people get elected

You may have heard of something called the 10,000 hour rule that is the suggested time it takes anyone to achieve mastery in anything.

Whilst understanding and fluency may be achieved in somewhat less, depending on approach, natural ability and things like motivation or dedication, the point is that it takes time and effort, being immersed within whatever it is you may be trying to learn, before you have even the remotest chance of making a good job look like its natural or normal to everyone.

Where a mastery rule might more easily be applied to driving or learning the guitar, the rule also applies to becoming a great public representative too.

Politicians will never get anywhere near to becoming the leaders and standard bearers that we need, if they are only learning within a system and from others that is corrupted and completely warped.

Slaves to the system

Unfortunately, when the system and everything that works within that system works and operates in ways that are wrong, the new entrants to that system – no matter who they are and what they can offer, will be expected and ultimately conditioned to treat and respect the way that the system works as being normal – irrespective of whether the system really could ever be considered to be normal or not.

As our system of government has been corrupted by ideologies and agendas that don’t work for the people of the U.K. in any real or meaningful way, we really are in deep shit when it comes to changing anything.

Because everyone and everything has been corrupted and redirected so that it points in the same way.

Change means changing everything

The problem of solving all problems (and there are many of them) therefore, is that changing one thing or changing a few of them won’t make any difference. Because the size, interconnectivity and reach of everything in the public sector and government will just absorb any form of isolated change and basically change it back, meaning that we are straight back to experiencing the same things.

To change anything means changing the system itself. And for anyone who can begin to fathom what that really means, there is a dawning realisation that without an incredible form of leadership at the helm of this ship as we know and see it today, the only way that this kind of change will be possible, will be if the right kind of people are in place to pick everything up and run with it, when everything as we currently know it collapses. (which in real terms could happen at any time)

Until then, unless politicians and those who want to be in power take a very different approach and one that could lead to the kind of leadership that we now need, things will just keep getting progressively worse.

The only discernible difference will be the speed of more problems arising, as the wrong people in politics are going to keep getting everything wrong for everyone else, because the process of replacing them is also completely wrong.

Is there still any hope for Reform and a ‘coalition of the right’?

Disappointing as Reform and the opportunity they are squandering is turning out to be, there must remain at least a little hope that Farage may yet have a lucid moment and realise his controlling approach and stranglehold on the Party isn’t the stuff of what memorable legacies are made of. No form of leadership will succeed in this fight that obsessively works top-down.

Whilst the Birmingham Conference and the policy snippets that have been shared are as alarming for what they hint at, as is the over reliance Reform clearly has in Conservative politicians crossing the political floor who have track records aligned to everything that’s already wrong, it is interesting to observe that there may be some recognition that nothing in politics is going to be as easy as it seems.

Indeed, posts on social media over the weekend appear to have suggested Richard Tice has acknowledged that Reform may not be ready if an election were to be called in the immediate future. And with the genuine and growing risk that the next General Election will come much sooner than the 2027 timetable Reform have themselves talked about over the weekend, we can only hope that they are taking this all a lot more seriously than what the glitter bombing indicates.

Changing things for the better

Change of the kind we need should really be viewed in the context of being a two-stage or two environment things.

  1. Within the context of how everything works now
  2. Within the context of the coming collapse where people will accept the changes that will help everyone most, because they don’t feel they will be losing anything

Meaningful change, NOW

Like many of the highly intoxicating suggestions that any politician that doesn’t have power can make to an audience desperate for everything to change in ways that suit them at  the flick of a switch, what we are being told can be delivered today, by whoever takes power at the next election, versus what can actually be delivered when we get there, are two VERY different things.

It is important to recognise that many of the things that are happening in politics today aren’t just as a direct result of having had Labour in power for the past 14 months – as everyone else in politics is heavily invested in convincing us all that we should believe.

Indeed, everything that is happening today is the direct result of decades of faulty government, run and brought into being by politicians from all sides working to agendas which may not even be theirs, but are certainly not ours.

The Contemporary Politicians Dilemma

In a previous post I wrote about The Contemporary Politicians Dilemma, where the issue of expectation meeting reality for an incoming government on the day after the election really hits home. Only then will the breadth, depth and full scope of the challenge that awaits any government and leader who really wants to deliver for the people be fully exposed to light.

Even with a working majority of keen and eager new MPs, determined to do everything that they have promised to the people who elected them; the morning after the election night before will offer them little more than a brick wall when it comes to understanding the real task that awaits in changing even the smallest things. When the wheels of government and all the people who work within it are anything but aligned.

Preparedness for leading through and beyond the coming collapse is an issue of our time

The mastery of politics and government, its systems, relationships and how things genuinely work at every level will be essential for anyone who is tasked with delivering and guiding any new agenda – IF there is a genuine desire to change things for the better within the system that we currently have, without very quickly precipitating a complete collapse.

Whereas the coming collapse may arguably prove to be the  best thing for everyone all-round, the reality we face is that if what remains of the governance structures that we do know should fail and collapse before we have the kind of leaders in place who have what it will take to navigate what will by then surely have become the most horrific mess, there is a risk – and a real risk too – that the  void that will be created will be filled by anyone and anything that can  step into it and seem credible. And this could prove to be a very dark day indeed, when it comes to delivering on the most pressing questions that people have like the supply of safety, security and the basic essentials like water and food.

Enthusiastic and perhaps even knowledgeable in other areas of life as they may be, the people who are keen to step into the breach that we can all see opening around us today, are unlikely to be able to answer the most essential questions that circumstances are quickly going to demand, when we reach the stage where everyone knows there is a clear and definable leadership need.

Yes, whilst the wheels keep turning and things hold together, they may be able to tinker around the edges and tell us that they are winning victories and delivering success, much as Reform are doing in respect of their recent local authority takeovers, right now.

However, the very best that any genuine UK and public-serving government could do for us after the next election, to begin the process of change that we need, is treat the whole situation as the emergency that it arguably already has become.

They must begin taking steps to help people whilst holding off the inevitable collapse, whilst people are put in place to lead across what is left of the system as we know it, who are not there to follow any agenda for them or the people who put them there, other than the one that actually works for us all.

Real Change: Post-Collapse

A little bit of change isn’t going to cut anything in real terms and the only circumstances under which enough people will accept that there is nothing left that benefits them that they could therefore lose, will be when the system as we know it has actually collapsed and nothing works in the way that we understand it to do so now.

It sounds bleak. But it will be much better for all of us if we have politicians today who are thinking ahead and getting ready to do the things necessary to ensure that everything works for us tomorrow.

Whilst many find it hard to believe, the agenda that has been driving politics for so long has always intended there be a societal collapse that would come after a careful and coordinated process of transferring wealth, personal power and independence from the masses to the few. So that when the collapse comes, we would all very quickly accept help on whatever terms it is offered by those who appear to be positioned best to meet our basic and essential needs.

The cost of accepting that help will be incredible for people like you and I. And the irony is that it is very unlikely that once things have actually collapsed, that any of the people who we recognise in politics and across the establishment today, will have the ability to do anything other than control us with whatever rules and governance devices they use to bribe us with – meaning that there will be very little coming other than restraint and a hard stick in return.

Opening to a different, better future

The real answer: solution and opportunity – even though it wont feel like any such thing in the immediate aftermath of the collapse – will come from decision making and leadership heading straight back to our local communities.

It is in our communities, where real people looking after the needs of the real people under their care and taking a very practical approach to governance in real time, whilst the systems and processes that we need and which will be completely localised are put in place to support everyone – that we can ensure that a new model of locally focused democracy can quickly be implemented, putting people and their communities back in control of their lives and environment – as should always have been the case.

Please take a look at Our Local Future to see the kind of governance model that might make this work.

We need to choose who we choose from at election time

In so far as future elections are concerned and electing people who can and will be the difference that we need, we can no longer accept it as being either correct or that there is any need for the process of choosing who our public representatives are to be franchised out to political parties. No matter who they are or what they have promised they will deliver and be.

It really is quite incredible that up until now, we have simply accepted that its perfectly normal for every decision that has real implications and consequences for us and for the people we care about to be made by people we don’t know, have probably never met and that we don’t have any genuine reason to trust.

Because we don’t already select, qualify and check the people we choose from at election time, we really have no reason to lose our shit over the consequences when they cause pain for us within our lives, and there doesn’t appear to be any way that we can stop or prevent the people who are in politics from doing whatever the hell they like.

We MUST select people to represent us all from within our own communities and ensure that they are always accountable to and responsible towards us all, first, as the priority and above all things – even to themselves and what they may want or believe in personally, themselves.

It is possible for us all to select candidates and even create a choice of candidates for every election that we have right now. But the reality we face on that score is that without the wider system change that we so desperately need, doing so piecemeal rather than in a fully universal or comprehensive way means that we will once again just end up banging our heads against the wall.

Flipping everything on its head

We need a very different kind of politician to be representing all of us. No matter where we currently believe our political allegiances lie.

It is because we are continuing to consider politics as being part of a tribe that falls in behind a specific set of ideas or agendas that we are in the mess that we are in right now.

Putting people first isn’t idealistic. It’s just being practical. And when it gets done the right way and with the right outcomes in mind, everything that is currently wrong with everything around us will get addressed and everything good for us will begin to fall into place.

New Names, Old Games

Talking about and thinking about narratives isn’t just important today. It’s essential if you are to arm yourself with the truth and ultimately stand any chance of not being driven completely mad.

Unfortunately, the reasons that make critical thinking necessary, as we absorb and digest any of the information that constantly flows towards us, usually through the digital devices that we carry, are not just as simple as working out the credibility of sources, identifying the truth, or filtering out the rampant levels of views and opinion which have regrettably become the bigger part of the content of all news.

It is increasingly necessary to identify where names and the nomenclature or branding of ideas, approaches, systems and even recognisable activities have been deliberately changed with the intention to confuse. Usually to create the misleading idea, in our minds, that somebody is doing something or selling something to us that is completely new or specialised beyond our comprehension. Just so that they can gain advantage over us until such time as we have worked it all out.

Regrettably, the establishment – that’s government, the public sector and all the big businesses and money organisations that are actually running things – has reached the point where they change the names of everything, either to make more money or benefit themselves, or increasingly to give the impression they have stopped or moved away from doing anything that has been publicly outed as being wrong. But for whatever reason that’s important to them, they intend to keep on doing it anyway and believe they need to nothing more to cover it up than change the name.

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Whilst it would be foolish not to acknowledge the power for good that some forms of digital technology and artificial intelligence have – in the right hands and when being used for the right reasons, the way that so many of us have taken the coming technical or AI revolution as read, and seem to have just accepted that many will no longer have jobs as a result, does illustrate the danger that we have become to both ourselves and to our own future. All because we don’t ask questions and simply accept whatever we are being told to believe – usually because it’s come from the voice of someone remote who we don’t even know!

The rather inconvenient truth that all those creating new terminology for whatever they control, are trying to control or attempting to regain control of; is that there isn’t much going on that’s genuinely new, as we consider life in the aspect of 360 degrees around us.

It is just made to look and feel that way.

Indeed, most of us would quickly grasp this, if we were to refuse to just accept the sales pitch and ask what they are selling us, what it will do and how it works.

This approach is applicable to method as well as to machine.

We would all be wise to take time to consider everything that touches our lives in some way, in terms of the pathways that bring it to us, how it works, who benefits and why those interests have brought them to us as and when they have.

Some would say ‘Oh it’s obvious!’

But is it really? And has it ever been?

Magic only works on us, when we don’t understand whatever is happening

Sadly, many of us are all too happy to accept the premise that what we don’t know can’t hurt us.

We accept that names, memes, keywords, industry terms and abbreviations mean that whoever is using them knows things that we do not. Usually making those people more knowledgeable and therefore powerful than we are, with a somewhat strange accompanying surrender to the misplaced idea that we should simply shut up.

Exploding the very dangerous myth about people who are considered to be experts and specialists, often in ways that are taken to mean they have universal understanding of everything, when they most often have been doing just one job; have studied more about the subject than us, and have been given a qualification by someone else who is actually just like them, is now becoming essential.

Not just to stop ourselves from being played like complete fools. But because the idiocy and self-aggrandisement that blankets so many of the people in positions of power, influence, control and that we therefore revere, are hiding behind the façade of terms we don’t understand, just to benefit themselves whilst all the time creating a very unhappy and unhealthy world that for us, that is never really going to work in our favour for as long as people like this have influence and control.

Dishonesty is regrettably rampant throughout everything that the establishment now does. Not necessarily because everyone within the establishment is dishonest. But because the way that normal people like you and I are being exploited, manipulated and used, so that those doing these things can benefit in some way, is simply now accepted as being the ‘normal’ way things work and therefore as being the done thing, for everyone.

Using and abusing others at any level is not ok. And as we find ourselves transiting a tumultuous period of inevitable change, one of the things that we should all be striving for to experience in whatever new world awaits us on the other side, is that lying, manipulation and the abuse of any person for any reason by another, just so that the abuser can become advantaged in some way, should be outlawed and treated as the horrible crime that it really is.

Today’s Politicians WILL NOT change our future for the better

Neither this government nor the next can or will stop the coming collapse and that’s when you may well end up owning nothing and be forced to be happy about it

Yes, there are a lot of people already shouting that it’s time for a General Election and many more who genuinely believe they are already backing the horse that will win – and they might even be right.

Things are looking bleak for sure. And that’s just at the level most people are paying attention to.

Indeed, go in search; look beyond the purveyors of the narratives that we are all relentlessly expected to suck up and follow, and you will soon begin to see just how deep the problems are that the UK is facing. All set within a World where everything is the opposite of stable and a critical mass for change and whatever may follow could be reached in a range of different forms or events, in any location, or at any time.

Whilst we seem to have this ridiculous unwritten rule or shibboleth across the UK, that being upbeat and therefore blind to reality somehow means that any messaging that fails to correlate with what we believe is therefore unquestionably negative and unacceptable in some way; facing reality and speaking the truth about what we are seeing, feeling and experiencing as our own reality, is not something that any of us should be hiding from right now, in any way.

However, whilst such sentiment may be welcomed by the growing number who consider themselves to be aware of what’s really going on and therefore ‘awake’, the need to look closely at what public figures and channels are saying; why they are saying it, and whatever the outcomes they might be suggesting (if indeed they do actually have any recognisable outcomes at all) really consist of or will lead to, is just as important – if not more.

When we do take the time and make the effort to try and understand what backing any of the people who want to be in charge or take control of the UK today would lead to, we can begin to see that there are distinct commonalities that flow between all of them. No matter whether they are politicians, political parties, activists, podcasters, media figures, celebrities or anyone that we could identify as having ambition to be a future occupant of No.10.

One of the commonalities that flows between the voices that different people are still choosing to follow, is they all pay lip service to the kind of change that will be necessary in order for the UK (and World) to change course from the direction that it is now travelling in.

However, they are only putting policy suggestions on the table that add up to nothing better than it would have been to move the deck chairs around on the deck of the Titanic, with the doomed ship already on its way down.

A big problem for us all in our understanding of the problems that the UK faces – and what it will actually take to address them AND then start putting everything into place so that we all experience a system that works for us all, is that we are all bought into what we believe to be the benefits– to us, personally, of staying exactly where we are, today.

We are not only comfortable but take for granted – and often feel entitled to remain within and taking all that we can from a system of living that is and always has been unsustainable. One that we are unlikely to accept as being the biggest problem of them all, for as long as:

  1. We aren’t feeling any direct pain from the consequences ourselves, and/or
  2. We can find someone or something to blame when anything doesn’t appear to be working and therefore work on the assumption that removing or waiting until we can remove them will be all that it takes to rectify the fault.

Pointing the finger in the right direction, but not at the correct source

The chances are that despite the massive majority of seats that the current Labour government has, and that as I write, they have only been ‘in power’ for 14 months (and we are still the better part of 4 years until we might normally expect the next GE), the next General Election will come a lot sooner than anyone currently thinks.

As unbelievable as it may seem, the contempt that the current government has for the British People has been made very clear by the comments that a number of their ministers and politicians have made, about the prioritisation of temporary accommodation for immigrants. Not only over local people, but the existing apparatus of local government itself. Which although limited and heavily influenced by Central Government, did, until now maintain the idea that we, as British Citizens did at least have a say over our own lives.

Hard as it may be for anyone who cares about other human beings to swallow, no Country can be all things to all people and survive.

You cannot continue to help and do good for anyone if you destroy yourself or your means to do so in the process.

The utterly ridiculous situation that successive governments have all created and contributed to, where we are prioritising the wellbeing of economic migrants above our own people – that’s the people who are being expected to pick up the tab – takes the whole issue of unsustainable public policy, that’s not really about the public in any way, into a completely different league.

Destroying the fabric of society – whether it be our laws, traditions, independence, environment, countryside, industries, ability to grow and produce our own food – just so that one group of politicians or another, can have or maintain power, despite being utterly incompetent and unfit for the task; so whoever they are really working for can achieve whatever outcomes they really want, or both; are not in the interests of the British People in any way.

This, and many governments before this one have not been working in our best interests.

The real outcomes from the efforts of all the so-called politicians who have been involved in the destruction of the UK are not pathways that any of us should be allowing anyone who covets the power and glory they believe they will get by climbing towards No.10 to do or continue to do, just because they say they will be different.

Nor should we open the doors to power for anyone just because they make it sound like they are going to do what we want them to, because what they are saying today when they have no power sounds just like we imagine everyone thinks.

The Money-Centric Paradigm

Being seen to work for or prioritise any person, people or group before British Citizens and arguably our wider system of governance too, is not what any government genuinely working for the People who entrusted and elected it and for which it is responsible would do.

But this is where we are today – in so far as where the news is, what it keeps telling us and what most of us are having our attention drawn to.

However, there is more and much more when it comes to the things that aren’t making much sense. Which probably becomes one of the things you may have heard in passing, once it is mentioned and you are questioned about what you might or might not think.

Not least of all these other issues is the money problem or the ‘public finance problem’ and what ‘surprises’ are likely to be included in the upcoming Budget, which has now been confirmed as set for Wednesday 26th November 2025 (That’s 12 weeks’ time).

Watching the explosion of the Public Debt and what it is now costing Central Government to borrow the money that it needs to make everything that government does work and then service the escalating debt that years and years of overspending by governments of all kinds have racked up, is really quite frightening.

Taking on board what some of the more credible voices, that are independent of the establishment or its thinking, are saying about the unfolding fiscal drama, suggests that a point could quickly be reached where the banks, financiers and ‘markets’ will refuse to keep buying the bonds that the government sells and pays interest upon. Which in real world terms is the same thing as we understand as being a loan.

Making sense of a system we were never meant to make sense of

The mechanics of the money system that has allowed this whole situation to exist are truly alarming when understood for what they really are and just how long this whole mess and the process to create it has been underway.

Amongst the darkest and most troubling of all the factors that we as normal people need to face are that:

  1. The money that the government is borrowing doesn’t exist
  2. Privately owned banks are ‘printing’ or creating the money that they are ‘lending’ to the government by ‘buying bonds’ out of thin air
  3. The government is then paying interest for money that doesn’t exist and never existed before it was loaned to it (to us)
  4. The rules that have legalised what is arguably a completely corrupt and criminal money system have been put in place over multiple parliaments, by successive governments and generations of politicians from all sides who have ‘done what they were told’ to get where they are
  5. The entire system and structure of rules governing business, production and services have all been twisted and manipulated to make the way that money works ‘legal’.
  6. The payoff or benefit for government and politicians like these is that clever accounting using GDP and the obsessive capture of output data through organisations like the ONS mean that as long as more and more money is being printed and then changing hands many times very quickly, the Public Debt gets smaller, meaning that although the public debt figures are exploding, any government that continues to maintain ‘growth’ can fraction-down the debt they are accumulating through little more than poor or deliberate mismanagement
  7. The real situation – that’s the transfer of genuine wealth – has been underway for decades –  and remains hidden.

Unfortunately, that transfer of wealth also wrested away the UKs ability to produce just about everything that we were once known for.

The focus of this attack on ‘natural productivity’ recently reached our ability to grow and harvest our own food and the UK no longer has the industries and manufacturing output that we have been able to rely upon in the past to bail us out in times of national emergency and real need, so that more money can be generated from forms of real production to get us out of trouble.

Our ‘leaders’ aren’t leaders. They are glory seekers. They want the job, but not the responsibility

Whilst the Labour government we have today may be truly awful in just about every sense possible for people to consider from outside of the system of government itself – as most of us really are, we all need to understand – no matter hard it might be or unwilling we may be to do so, that no matter how bad this specific government may be, the building blocks of the crisis now unfolding have been stacked up by government after government over a period of decades – and not just a matter of months.

The problem is now so ingrained, so deeply intwined and so comprehensively embedded across every part and every level of governance and public service delivery that we have in the UK, that it cannot and will not be fixed by anyone or anything that intends or even tries to work and continue working with the system – and specifically the money system – that we currently have.

None of the politicians or would-be politicians lining up to take the place of the Labour government – whenever the next General Election might be, are looking to step beyond the system or money-centric paradigm that we currently have in place.

And that’s a real problem for us all.

Listen closely to what they are all saying, and they don’t have meaningful change of any kind in mind.

All this, despite so many warning signs coming from right across the UK, telling us that very little in life is working for anyone, unless:

  1. You already have money and
  2. Have the means to keep accumulating more

In reality, even those with money and what may appear to be guaranteed incomes may not remain safe for long, as the government has already or is about to bankrupt the UK. (Which in government terms means that they cannot ‘borrow’ any more – because those printing the cash know their own scam is going to be outed if they keep breaking their own rules).

We are in a land filled with false prophets with not one of them ready to lead

The tragedy reaching across politics now and not only the right, is the absence of publicly recognisable voices speaking the truth that not only does nothing work as it should, but there is also no longer any way that it can. Because the structure of the system that has carefully been put in place over a period exceeding 50 years was never about benefitting any of us.

It is merely the momentum that exists within a system that has been functioning in the same way and same direction for as long as it has that is keeping it going. Maintaining the illusion that everything will continue to be alright and that life as we know it will ultimately remain just the same.

Whilst there may be nothing inherently wrong with the solutions, answers and outcomes that any of today’s wider political class are suggesting within the existing framework and narrative that everyone accepts, those solutions, without fail, add up to little more than changing the wheel on a speeding bus as it leaves the road and goes straight over the cliff.

These aren’t real outcomes that are coming from any of these sources, because they have no basis or relationship with the reality of how things work, how we got to where we are, and what will happen when anyone attempts to tackle anything in isolation for ‘quick wins’ when everything is linked and things that relate to public policy are as interconnected as they are.

Whichever direction we look in, what we are experiencing is an echo chamber of what we are already thinking – and in many ways, that’s how the establishment wants us all to think.

In real terms, there is no political vehicle available to any of us to choose from at the next General Election that can or will do anything to help change anything meaningful for any of us in any long-lasting way.

For ANY political party or movement to really mean it when they say they will represent all of us properly, they would have to be ready, prepared and able to actually stop the whole bus from reaching the cliff – and none of them will.

We have to understand that they either won’t (because they have already tasted the reality of what power in the UK today really is and where it is going) or because they can’t (because when faced with the reality that the only way this mess can be fixed is to crash it all and start again anyway, they’d rather just keep playing along and taking the money, until the next politician on the gravy train comes along).

Meanwhile, whilst we wait and then change the guard once again, the direction of travel towards chaos and the darkness that follows is maintained.

The destruction of the structure of UK society and our ability to function reaches completion. And we are then left completely at the mercy and whim of the very people who have cleverly, and very patiently engineered it all through multiple generations – creating yet another covering that makes the whole reality one that is indeed very hard at first glance to believe.

How do we get out of this mess without the right people seeking election?

By now, you may have realised that the Labour government isn’t really in control of what they are doing with power, any more than they are in control of anything else.

You might also conclude that there is a game of pin the tail on the donkey to be played. One that covers experts, spads, academics, government executives, advisors, business leaders and moguls, bankers and everyone with influence in all of this. In order to try and work out where the buck really stops and who amongst all of them, who is really in charge.

But would it really matter if you or I could definitively work the whole thing out?

Are we really going to wait and see what happens once everything collapses and nobody steps up with an alternative to  this ‘system’ – so that we can finally righteously say to ourselves – being happy in our misery as we realise’ ‘ah – so it was them and what they wanted that was behind all of this the whole time’, all the time knowing that because we waited on politicians, so-called leaders and false prophets to deliver on our behalf for so long, that we no longer possess the independence or power to  even attempt to turn things around – just on our own behalf?

Even if the whole system were to collapse tomorrow and there never was an agenda or grand plan sitting behind the levers of power, the question of who could do the fire fighting, meet the challenges that we face, deal with all of the most pressing of issues and then start putting a new structure for our society in place on our behalf will still very much exist. Because none of the politicians that we have are even talking about leading the kind of transformation and change where our governance is replaced whilst life itself remains functioning and liveable for us all.

Where we could end up if we continue going along with the way things ‘work’

If it isn’t already apparent, the one thing at the heart of every problem that we have across the UK (and the World) today, is money; how the money and currencies we have work; the role that money plays; and then how everything got effected by money this way in the first place.

The ironic part of this whole problem is there are still too few of us who are prepared to look beyond a World and way of living that has money at the heart of everything and right at its core.

Meanwhile, the belief that money can and will only continue to work as it does now is as ridiculous as most people would find it to consider living in world that puts people and our freedoms first. Especially when some believe they already do…

Money as we know it, is over. It just hasn’t ended yet.

It doesn’t matter whether its the erosion of our personal wealth and ability to function without debt. Becoming dependent upon digital tech and a universe based upon online, remote and dehumanised rules. Or because the financial system and the way we use and create money is quite literally now spent and government can only survive a little longer by stripping us of all that we have ever had:

The world and our experiences of life as we know them; are comfortable with and take for granted are over. It’s just the system hasn’t yet reached its end, yet.

If we ourselves fail to act, change the way we think, interpret priorities, and personally contribute to the change that is within our power to facilitate; the future knocking on all of our doors will be one where nobody other than those who are in control are living lives that they can afford.

Every job that can be done by a machine will be done by a machine.

Those of us who are left behind will become fully dependent upon a system which monitors every part of our lives digitally and requires us all to abide by rules that they and only they can set.

Otherwise, there will simply be no means for us to remain included and therefore to survive.

We are all boiling frogs

The money system that we know and every part of life is now based around is failing rapidly.

However, it was always the intention of the elites that by the time everything we know to have meaning has collapsed, the ownership of every bit of real, tangible wealth or what we know as businesses (that control entire marketplaces); property (such as land, houses, factories, shops and warehouses) and infrastructure (such as railways, airports, water treatment works, reservoirs, electricity generating stations, solar farms, ports), would have already been transferred to those who controlled the creation of the new system.

It is the fake FIAT money and the devices it has given life and meaning to that have enabled the seemingly legitimate transfer of all our wealth and our ability to earn and own anything again to the few, when this carefully designed and engineered process has at no point been right or correct in any way.

As things stand today, we could wake up in just a matter of months and find that we really do own nothing and that we are expected to be happy – by those who then have us all fully under their control.

We have surrendered our power whilst we were kept happy and occupied with easy living, ‘correct ways of being and doing everything’ and constantly hearing news of all these shiny material things we must have to keep up, pumped into our ears and vision in every direction that we have turned.

Everything that represented freedom and independence at every level of life has been taken away from us.

All the time, we believed that money was the only tool that could make us rich. And now, the money we have revered as a god is not worth anything to us or anyone in its current form – as has been the truth – except for our manipulated beliefs, all the way along.

Who will really have the last laugh?

In case you are wondering, we have reached the point where all those who have been advantaged by this system feel sure they don’t have to worry about money or what the currency that replaces what we believe what we believe money to be today will look like when everything changes, because they and only they appear to own everything that has any value to us.

The transfer of wealth that we have never questioned will mean that they can then rent out, sell, charge for, qualify people to use/receive anything and everything.

All because they successfully invented the wealth to do it; took it for themselves and used and exploited everyone, including the stupid fools who weren’t ever leaders but were nonetheless desperate to be recognised politicians, to make the whole thing appear legal and therefore morally correct. Right up to the point where the rather massive penny drops for us all, that we no longer have any say and there isn’t any way back.

There is no good to be had here, from looking more closely at what could happen thereafter.

But for those who genuinely think that the story being pushed at us all, that we are at the door of an inevitable Tech and AI takeover is true, they may also wish to ask themsleves ‘If this was the genuine truth and that tech (and those behind it) was about to deliver a perfect utopian world where everything is going to be provided for us and work will just be done by machines, would we already be witnessing people being left behind with the threat of potential millions being months away from losing their jobs?’

The solution isn’t pretty – IF you believe that having everything easy is key

It stands to reason that most of us believe in a future that keeps and maintains all the things that we feel good about now – but conveniently removes or drops all that things that don’t work. Preferably right now but otherwise just as soon as we’ve elected someone who thinks the same as we do, will obviously do.

If only it were that simple.

That feeling is no accident. Just like so many things that feel good about the lifestyles that we are all currently able to have – if we can afford them, that constant feeling of everything becoming easier, requiring less effort and that it’s doing us good is in fact doing anything but.

The price we are going to have to pay, is that to go back to living lives that may at first glance seem less exciting, not as clever and require us to interact with real people, real life and real responsibilities means leaving all the ‘great’ things behind us.

Because all the things we want to keep are a big part of a problem that is harming us in countless ways and are as such, not ‘great’ at all.

Money and the way money works today is the root problem or cause of every problem that humanity faces. And money or the values set that we have that are now pinned to money, are controlling every part of life and the system that governs it all.

Nothing less than Paradigm change will now do – and that needs you!

A reason that none of the politicians or those who would lead us will look at embracing something as seemingly radical, but nonetheless essential, as the need for universal change – at least in terms of governance of everything and the way that we are governed, is that this process will itself require that we leave behind the centralised, top-down hierarchical view of the world where a Prime Minister or President is the most important person in any country.

Centralisation, top-down hierarchies and a very modern interpretation of what a patriarchy really is are key components that thrive off this money model and the disruption that its adoption and application throughout every part of our lives has typically enshrined.

Localism and locality are the solution to a problem that can only be solved by rejecting everything that is built upon the money-centric model.

The existing political parties (including the new ones), their structures and the motives and ambitions that drive the politicians within them or the people within them who want to be in government and in control as part of them, are not locally orientated in any way. Just as we can be sure that very few of the politicians we have possess genuine affinity for the local areas and people that they are representing or would be only too happy to claim they represent.

People, their local communities and only the small businesses that we all need to provide and do everything for us within them are where the real answers to all the problems that we have currently lie.

It is you and people like us who need to cast aside the manufactured arguments and fights that we have with others over matters which are out of control, and which suit those behind the narratives all too well.

We must begin to work together and collaborate to create a new, appropriate, fair, balanced and just system of governance that is fundamentally restricted to the people and only the people under its specific geographical or localised area of rule.

A system that puts people, community and the environment we live in and share together firmly and securely back in front.

Fundamentally, change and changing what happens next is all about you, what you do and what people like you choose to do and accept they have responsibility to do.

It sounds hard. And the first step really is. But after that, the rest will be a lot more straightforward and ultimately rewarding than you might think.

People need jobs more than AI and the Tech Revolution

Everyone’s ability to work and be financially secure is vital to humanity, whereas accepting an unnecessary AI and Tech-Takeover that nobody genuinely needs will ultimately only benefit the few

The narrative now dictating to us that the Tech and AI Takeover is inevitable is tiring. Not least of all, because the whole idea that progress can and will only go one way is a myth.

Indeed, the myth that the AI and Tech Takeover is now inevitable serves only those who stand to benefit from everything being pushed this one, very specific and wholly unnecessary way.

Granted, many of us do feel that once technology has arrived and it is in our lives, there is no choice but to accept whatever the implications and outcomes of its arrival might be. Even when for increasing numbers of us it is beginning to become frighteningly clear that we and everything that we know may be about to be affected in some disastrous, life-changing way.

However, you may want to ask yourself, ‘Is this tech takeover, and what is going to change a voluntary choice that I am making?’

Did you consciously agree with the direction everything that touches your life digitally is now going?

Did you agree to changes that may quickly lead to you or people you know having no work or hope of ever getting another job?

Did you knowingly allow the parallel, digital universe and the role of arbitrary judgements about you and everything you are, do or can be, to walk in and begin the process of taking over each and every part of your life through the clever use of man-made codes which have been called algorithms?

So many of us fall into the trap of going along with the idea that jobs we know of today will no longer be required or even exist within perhaps just a matter of months because we are told that it represents progress and that the changes that the introduction of new AI-based technologies across life will be better for us all.

But when the narratives and words of politicians, tech gurus and influencers say all or everyone, just exactly who are they really referring to?

Are you going to benefit and in what way?

Are those benefits real, or are they just distractions that appear to make the very small and seemingly meaningless things that we do every day much easier?

Are those benefits really meaningful and long-lasting, or do they cover up how the small wins everything outside of us tells us we need actually covering up the real, long-term losses in our lives that unless we quickly wake up, we will never be able to replace?

Regrettably, few of us are even thinking about the impact and consequences of the changes that we have accepted for the simple reason that everything we have seen and experienced so far, whether it’s the way we shop, are able to access so much through apps or online, or are able to access whatever we believe we want in mere moments online, leaves us with the idea that AI and anything related to digital tech can and will only ever be good for us.

But what was wrong with the way things were two years ago; five years ago, or ten years ago, where the tech that we had in our lives or that we had access to was concerned?

Didn’t life work just as well, and perhaps in some ways that may seem unrelated even better then?

Have computers, smartphones and digital tech really benefitted our lives in the ways that we are led to believe? Or have they actually disadvantaged us and changed our lives in ways that make us very unhappy and create what for some are unmentionable problems, in so many other ways?

Technology and technological improvement or progress is a phenomenon that we must begin looking at in relation to ourselves, the people we care about and those who we have real face to face contact with, regularly within our communities; You know – people living in the real world that is OFFLINE!

Do we actually need a world where we and those people around us do not have jobs and cannot work, because a machine or different software systems can now do all the things that every person does at work, or once did?

Do those people who don’t have jobs really benefit from no longer having work?

Is the best use of AI and new technology to replace us? Or the best use of AI and new technology to assist us?

Surely there can be no doubt that the world around us would be a much better place to live and experience if everyone who can work, does work; and that in return for doing a full weeks work, they in turn receive enough money or remuneration of whatever kind to ensure that they can cover the cost or be able to secure all the basic essentials that give them independence, rather than a situation now evolving where the masses look like they are soon to be left behind.

Where is the drive really coming from for jobs to be lost and make it all seem necessary?

Who benefits from it appearing to be a foregone conclusion that ending jobs and mass redundancy is not a choice that is any of ours to decide?

What we can be sure of is it will not ultimately be people like you and me.

Technology and the advancement of technology and AI is like everything right across life that is being driven by the quest for greater and continuing profits, and the wealth, control, power and influence that quickly follows behind.

We don’t see it because we aren’t supposed to and that’s why what’s really changing underneath what we can see is actually leaving us, our communities and our humanity behind.

The choices being made about the way that new technology is being rolled out and used are not being made in the best interests of the masses. Because if they were, they would not be threatening to take away jobs and resulting in outcomes like the destruction of communities and to lives that it will bring.

If the purposes driving AI and new Tech were genuinely about improving life for all, the changes underway would not be beginning to impact us all negatively, just so that business owners, tech owners and those that benefit can elevate themselves in every way, whilst their actions and choices begin to leave everyday normal people like you and I behind.

Yes, the idea that all jobs, tasks and requirements could be met by machines, software and automation will sound appealing if it means that everyone can do and have whatever they might want without ever having to do a day’s work or lift a finger in effort, ever again.

But just how real do you or anyone that you know believe that idea to be?

Do you really think that the tech companies and those who control AI and digital technology are working day and night at an incredible pace to create a utopia where we all do nothing, pay for nothing, are given everything for free and have whatever we want in our lives without paying for it or working for it?

Wouldn’t we be seeing and experiencing signs of this great giveaway already, if they really were on the altruistic pathway to greatest giveaway to everyone else ever known?

The answer is that whoever and whatever is controlling all of this only has the benefits to themselves in mind. Or they would be happy for AI, for tech and the advancements that are available to be used only to improve life and working conditions for everyone, rather than them being imposed at the head of a revolution, deliberately hidden in plain sight, that is apparently set to leave the majority of the people across the world behind.

The narrative about the role of AI is a myth and the creation of a prophecy that can and will only become true, because we believe the narratives and respond to them as if they were already true. Not Because they are actually real and the AI takeover is as complex or on its imminent way to sentience or being genuinely all-knowing in any way.

The irony is that if we continue to believe the hype; continue to be fooled into thinking AI can and will do all we are being told it will, simply because we have been blindsided by the speed that it works and what we have seen it do so far, we will walk into an elephant trap where the masses will have made themselves irrelevant and we will soon be of no use to those who are controlling all of this and believe it is their right to exploit everything and the lives of all others, if it will help them to achieve whatever they want to do.

The advances in digital technology and Artificial Intelligence are just another step in a long-term process of centralisation and power transfer by design, where the power and Personal Sovereignty that all human beings should have the right to enjoy, has slowly but surely been stolen, but with our manufactured consent.

Our independence and personal power have been progressively eroded and transferred to organisations and people who have no idea who we are, what we do and know nothing about the communities and places where we live.

Yet they now find themselves on the cusp of being able to control every part of our lives and existence through the removal of our independence, making life dependent upon them and their system, which can and will only be able to exist because we have failed to question and reject the idea that this all represents progress for humanity.

Without change, the creation of a mass sub-class of people who can do nothing more than exist – if it is indeed possible for them to continue to do so – is now inevitable and the only way our subservience to this system and what it is dictating can take us.

To be clear, the AI Takeover and technology revolution that we are being conditioned to expect is not necessary. It is not legitimate at any level or in any way.

Technology and innovation should always be used to benefit the whole of mankind. Not just those who create it, own it, regulate it or pay for it, with money they would never have even had, if they had not first corrupted and manipulated the monetary and economic systems of the world so that it would appear to have legitimately gifted them everything that they now have.

Life and what it should offer every person was never meant to be this way.

Power over us all was never meant to be concentrated within the hands of just a few.

Centralisation, remoteness and the dehumanisation of every process and function that maintains and provides for life was never meant to be funnelled into the hands of others. People who will soon have the ability to choose whether other people live or die, based on using the digital chains that our own eagerness to have more of everything has unwittingly enabled them to wrap around a lot more than just our wrists.

Walking away from a system that puts money and the technology that enables it first, as the absolute priority before the masses of people is key to creating a different future. A good future for all, where everyone once again has the opportunity to be free, to be independent and to enjoy fulfilling the functions necessary to create and maintain a genuinely good life. All the time working together and collaborating only with those strictly necessary within our communities to provide everything that is essential for life in a real, localised world where everyone and everything can be trusted, because it can always be seen.

Simplicity of life; simplicity of governance; simplicity of business models and structures; simplicity of money and the systems that only administer it are key to improving every part of life and creating the equitable experiences and opportunities that only real justice, fairness and balance in everything can provide.

Yes, the technology we have certainly has its place.

But the place of tech is to help humanity; not replace it.

People need jobs more than anyone needs a Tech Takeover. Because we all need to function in the world; to contribute to it and to what we all need from each other collectively in some way, and then in return receive whatever we need that will at the very least meet all of our essential and basic needs, so that we can function and support those we care about without ever having to seek or become reliant upon help.

We must reject the use of AI, Tech and the takeover of real life by the digital universe.

We need to get back to basics with the prioritisation of businesses and business structures that are essential to life being sustainable and maintained locally.

Businesses that employ people need to be sized in such ways that mean everyone in every community has work to do and a contribution to make within a system where everyone who can work does work and receives everything they need to be functionally independent and therefore able to meet all their own needs.

Imagine the 21st century equivalent of the village green, where every essential and basic need for members of the community is met by small businesses dedicated to meeting just the needs of the people that everyone knows and meets face to face, pretty much each and every day.

Businesses that are and only ever will be big enough to provide services and goods to the people they serve as specialists in whatever it is that they do. So that customers always have the best experience possible for them to have, and the business itself prioritises just those needs and pays all of the staff and its working shareholders fairly and justly, ensuring that retail prices will never exceed an affordable relationship with what everything genuinely costs.

This scenario is not only possible. It has now become necessary, if we want to enjoy lives that are built around values and care for everyone, for our communities and the environment that supports us. Rather than pursuing a desperate path to make life and everything we ever do about whatever material wealth, possessions and power that we have.

Money, profit and everything that prompts and promotes the greed that underpins it are the real reasons for centralisation and the transfer of control.

There is no humane reason for any person to become impoverished by the implementation of any form of technology that isn’t being used purely for the benefit of humanity or the public good.

Politicians are more interested in who owns a policy and rubbishing those they don’t than any outcome that will benefit us

Life is happening to people like you and I right now.

Our communities are in trouble. Crime is running out of the door from police control. People cannot afford to feed themselves or meet the basic costs to live. There is genuine discontent growing amongst us and fear that if there ever were any adults in politics, they have long since left the room and deserted us all.

Without good leadership and with no sign that we will ever have any again, we are wrestling with the reality that we are now on a doom loop of politically driven mayhem, that bears no relationship with what public representation and democracy was intended for.

Everything we are experiencing would seem desperate enough, even without the fear-driven narratives that seem set to create drama from the chaos that we are already in. Narratives that are being pushed by everyone with a platform – and not least of all, the politicians themselves.

Whilst talk for those politicians and activists without power or responsibility is certainly cheap – because they have the excuse of not being able to act, as the power to do so isn’t currently theirs, there is no longer a defining line between the words of those who can act or rather could if they wanted to, and those who don’t have any ability to’.

We have now reached the rather troubling point that anything that will be good for us, the People and that we might not only want and need, but should be able to expect our public representatives to do for us, automatically, will not get done.

Indeed, it seems to be the case that anything that would helps us, will not help them, nor do anything to get them out of the quickly deteriorating situation they are in, and which they caused themselves by playing their part in creating all of this mess in the first place.

The fact that we now have a government openly and contemptuously doing whatever it likes and whatever may serve its own purposes or that of whoever pulls their strings aside – and whenever it is not taking drastic measures to try and ward off the now inevitable collapse – is only worse than what we experienced under the Conservatives (and Lib Dems) over 14 years. And what was quietly inflicted upon us even before then, because they were at least covering up what they were doing – even if their actions were ultimately manipulative and hiding everything in plain sight.

The uncomfortable reality that awaits us all as we begin to wake up to the victimhood that so many of us are not yet even aware that we are within, is that the situation has now become so bleak, in terms of policy options that will actually benefit the British People, that politicians are now squabbling over little more than what they would do if the circumstances were different for them. All the time knowing, somewhere deep down, that the policies they are touting will be impossible to deliver now or after an election.

It simply will not matter who is elected and placed ‘in power’ – because there isn’t a political party, group or movement that we can see or hear from within the public sphere today, that has either the leadership capable or that has the motivation and ability to now do everything that will be necessary to do so, whilst all the time working with the very clear risk that what is necessary will mean they will not be elected again, next time.

Not unlike Labour, who we can be fairly sure had at least some MPs within its 397 sitting today who really would have liked to do all the things that they said on the doorsteps running up to 4 July 2024, any party or group that takes power at the next General Election – whenever that might be – will be faced with the same seemingly impossible quandary to address.

They will have to decide whether they either drop everything meaningful that they have promised and keep bobbing along, all the time hoping that everything doesn’t completely collapse before they leave. Or alternatively, face up to reality and get ready to lead, through the complete chaos and systemic collapse, that they will only temporarily succeed in putting off by wrecking everything anyway, and buckle down for what is going to become an exceptionally challenging ride for us all.

The reasons and excuses may well be different for every politician who is now hiding from the truth that we all face – or why they may be actively embracing or even facilitating it. But the best that they can now appear to do, is argue over the ideas for policy and change and who owns them, even though it is likely that these will be things that they will never actually be able to do, because they are all too afraid for themselves to do so.

Whilst Reform – who have this week reached a staggering 35% in the polls – can seemingly print out policy gambits with a restless public apparently hanging on every word, a good example of the level to which the ability of the political apparatus within the UK has actually fallen was well illustrated by the Conservative Leader this week suggesting that Tory Policies on tackling the immigration problem had been stolen by Farage who had been ‘copying homework’.

One uncomfortable truth we should perhaps all be reflecting upon, is that if the politicians and those who would replace them were genuinely interested in doing whatever it may be that will be best for us and for the UK, they would not care nor consider who owns, enacts or leads any policy that is going to answer the questions and deliver the outcomes which are genuinely best for all of us. Indeed, they would actually be thrilled that any policy or action was being taken that would be in the best interests of us and the UK and be happy for whoever is in power to be using it. Wouldn’t they?

Another will surely be that this reality does indeed paint a picture that makes it very hard to question the increasingly obvious similarities between every party option that we have or will have available to us at the next election being fundamentally so similar, that in practical terms – and that means delivery and outcomes, all the political options that we currently have are basically all the same.

Yes, this means that the downward trajectory will not change.

Given everything else that we have to consider too, including the very establishment-esque support that Reform are now attracting – is the only change we will notice is that the speed of the collapse will increase, whilst the outcome of this massive leadership void may arrive much sooner (if it has not by then already done so).

Whilst it may be easy to understand and empathise with the desire and wish of so many and to believe that Reform – or indeed whoever or whatever comes next, will actually do whatever they say, there is little evidence to suggest that they or anyone who we could vote for at the next General Election actually will deliver on anything that will help those who need it.

Indeed, the track record that we can now see where Reform have been ‘running’ councils across the UK since May, suggests that in terms of what they will able to achieve and deliver, that isn’t just passed back into the hands of government officers, who are a big part of today’s problems, they are wholly out of touch with the reality they face at every level; have no real plan or understanding of what change will really take; and are therefore well and truly out of their depth.

The expertise and willingness to lead us and do everything necessary to get things done certainly exists amongst the population.

But even good leaders will need to take every step available to take everyone with them.

Amongst what we have available today, there is no politician or party doing one damn thing that has even a distant hope of achieving the kind of societal cohesiveness that will be required through what will be the very challenging times ahead.
