“What would the Dictator Benign of all Caledonia do? What would the people stand for before declaring the Dictator not so benign and throwing him in the rising sea?“
That question is slightly part of the problem.
An assumption that any part of the ‘developed’ world can make any significant difference AND has some sort of electorate that would allow the experiment AND have politicians with the imagination/power to do much.
Only politicians believe they have answers and ‘if only we could get the chance to carry them out’.
Today’s news.
A handful of MPs don’t like their leader and imagine they will lead a 4th way.
A Japanese car company thinks they can make more money by not making cars in the UK.
The same country that ‘may have hottest February day ever this week’.
Presume that will apply to other countries too - this week, next year, whenever.
There’s even some degree of agreement that this is ‘bad’.
Little chance of ‘well we’d better do something then’.
Today’s even more bizarre news is that a Commons’ committee is recommending a ONE PENNY tax on clothes to fund a recycling scheme.
ONE POUND would hardly make much difference to the ‘problem of fast fashion’.
Business as usual - it’s what the voters want (see ‘war on motorists’ etc).
Presume “Dictator Benign of all Caledonia” has worked out how to get power without an election?!
