The Failure of Current Politics

Is there any feature of British Society as undisputed as the modern death of the respectability of the political class? It seems doubtful and when we cast our eyes upon the hive of lies and manipulation which our political scene embodies it is hard to feel any emotion bar disgust at the scene evolving before our eyes. Inept leaders with a complete lack of practical experience litter our Government each with the same amount of moral fibre as a viper. One could even assume that given their actions their interests lie in the destruction of the British State and way of life.

Strength, willpower and a strong set of maintained views, all these necessities are lost in our current leadership which is not only weak and ineffective but holds onto views designed to please all and help no one. How can a nation make progress when it holds a Government incapable of taking the measures necessary to ensure the maintenance of the states security, superiority or interests? It is a simple impossibility; instead of decisive action we see ideas such as “compromise” fill our political system like poison into a wound.

Do people look up to Churchill for his defiant compromising with Hitler? Do they respect King Henry VIII for his ability to gently negotiate with his enemies? Do they see Sir Arthur Wesley as capable of making great “deals” with the evil Napoleonic Empire? No, never and in all these instances we see society as a whole respect the strength of character and strong morals of the individuals in question. Those who opposed them where crushed for the benefit of the British people and their way of life. Yet instead of this strong application to ones principles we instead see Politicians backing down from their promises or simply ignoring their previous statements; where is our referendum on the Lisbon Treaty? Why it is tuition fees now find themselves hiked onto this nation’s youth? The answer is simple, lies a feature which has become nearly the entire embodiment of our political class.

Politics cannot be seen as a career, it is a way of life. It is a way of expressing ones innermost need to not only help their nation but steer it in a nation which serves for its greatest benefit. This influx of soulless “career politicians” has only served to sever Politics from its very purpose of representing the people. Unless we see this immediately begin to change the chance of our nation retaining its leading position in the world seems minuet at best, for even the greatest state cannot flourish under the leadership of an individual who finds himself eclipsed in capacity by a Chimpanzee.

In fact one can safely say that today we live in a nation where not a single worthwhile political leader fills the centre stage. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg are all weak minded fouls incapable of comprehending the level of change necessary for them to fulfil their only goal, restoring Britain to its rightful position at the head of the global community. Yet time and time again we witness speeches in which politicians mention an inevitable end to British power, our own leaders talk about our nation as if it is left over table scraps doomed to disposal. At what point is such an individual, with no true plans for bringing about a return to greatness (in fact their only plans involve abandoning ourselves to failure), even considerable as a potential candidate for a position in politics?

The very nature of our democracy has become a system which encourages the annihilation of any true ambition from our people and the effective suppression of the British spirit. It is as if Britain feels the best course of action is to resign herself to collective suicide, for us to be champions of our own defeat rather than our own victory.  This state of affairs besides being sickening is unacceptable, I am certain the British public will not and cannot allow it to remain, lions will not be led by donkeys and it is inevitable that we shall again act out to remove this incompetence and replace it with leadership capable of effecting the change we need with so much haste.
