…….I will go on, but be aware, as one aspiring politician said to me, there’s two verboten subjects of discussion; politics and religion.
How we organise communal living, that is politics, is the most important skill and at the same time the most difficult subject. Being all about the subtleties of human nature and dealing with the evolution of everything on the planet in a moving map of time. We’ve actually done very well, via a bumbling sort of consensus, on most important areas for the vast majority.
We cobbled together a Constitution that attempted to graft parts of the USA model, hence the Senate, onto a Westminster style constitution with the old trappings and mindset that the Monarch is the one superior citizen.
That being said and, as She owns us all, and all the land (you may sit on a freehold plot at Her Pleasure), then Her Public Servants naturally believe that any ‘privileges’ that She confers on Her subjects must be modified in our best interests. Her Servants have become the Public Sector because we’ve acquiesced, even supported, in so many ways, the whole apparatus of Government. Land zoning laws, compulsory voting, farm registration and animal ID tags, You name it we have more and more intrusive Government because She has monopoly power.
It’s all by degrees but until there’s an understanding that true free enterprise can’t exist without much stronger property rights, and that the solution to all problems is not government action, then we will continue down the bureaucratic pathway. We can hope for leadership and Ministers who will take responsibility for change, but we do have a ‘play it safe’ mentally. Is this because She will look after us?
