I remember the British politician Tony Benn saying that we don’t actually need national politicians or a supposed ‘leader’. That if we kept a functioning police force and a free judiciary we could rule ourselves quite happily. I saw somewhere today a critique of so called democratic countries not being democratic at all. I said long ago our political system was a series of five year dictatorships. But it is all well and good to say these things and to observe their broad correctness but how do we rule ourselves? Local councils here are corrupt so accountability might be easier locally but needs to be robust and education needs to be high for everyone.
This whole system of educating people to be one strata of society or another, has to go.
