A symptom

Saturday, June 10, 2017 11:43

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

A fascinating aspect of Theresa May’s recent general election debacle was the manifesto screw-up for which Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill have now quit. Unfortunately for May the screw-up was obvious before the election. Questions about her competence are now equally obvious, yet that is not the fascinating aspect of it all. To a large degree the recent election was a contest between two dorks, which may be deplorable but may be a symptom of something else too.

On the one hand we had a seventies-style socialist with no political credibility whatever apart from a recent spot of good luck which may or may not be sufficient to carry him over the line at some future date.

On the other hand we had a limited Prime Minister without a distinguished political track record apart from a run of luck which has now apparently expired.

This isn’t how we might expect democracy to work because without an array of credible choices we cannot be said to have a choice in the first place. Opting for one dork over another dork is a major democratic limitation and many voters must have seen themselves in the position of having to choose between the lesser of two evils.

One obvious conclusion is that we are in a parlous state and may be in for some damaging political consequences. A slightly less obvious conclusion is that political posturing has had its day, the sun is setting on democratic political choice and therefore the manifestos no longer matter anyway.

When a Prime Minister cannot tell that her manifesto is garbage; when the leader of the opposition cannot tell that his political standpoint has long been discredited then we may be faced with something more radical than any amount of political posturing.

Global wheels grind their way into an unknown future and maybe having to vote locally for dork A over dork B is not so much a disaster as a casting error. Political dorks are merely glitches in central casting because power has moved on.
