Some more ways in which all main Political Parties are the same
- Surveillance – generally in favour of more surveillance, more cameras
- Nanny State – generally in favour of new laws and telling people how they should behave (whilst they carry on as usual) including:
Roads – in favour of more and more ‘restrictions’ particularly with regard to speed limits
Food and Drugs – Tell us what to do based on the limited ‘science’ of the day
- Statistics and numbers – all Parties misuse data thereby confusing issues and preventing true debate (not always deliberately but this reflects general numerical literacy of people in high places)
- Health – All Parties promote a National “Illness” service rather than a National “Wellness” service, where the priorities are not on helping to promote wellness but to prioritise illness.
However we must not forget that ‘Parties’ follow some (not all) of these policies because they believe that is what the ‘voter’ wants (and thus will keep them in power). Indeed we ourselves have created a Society that makes most of its decisions from a culture of blame and fear rather than one of community and love. So many of the “sameness’ policies are doing what ‘fearful’ people really feel they want. However what sort of a life is it when all of us are being led by fear rather than by Joy .If we are to educate and change society’s unhelpful behaviours (these behaviours are unhelpful if we want to improve the real quality of life) – then politicians should be leading the people and not simply following them. So are all Political Parties the same (except in the detail)?
