Hannan still doesn't 'get it'!

Saturday, February 18, 2012 19:25

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

Daniel Hannan in his latest Telegraph blogpost writes on the question of the Scottish referendum in which he promotes what he considers ‘localism’. One sentence immediately stands out and this is where Hannan writes that: “Our disputes are political – often fabricated by politicians” to which one has to ask what disputes have not been fabricated by politicians, be that international or domestic? As to Hannan then maintaining that those disputes can be solved politically – has he not learnt that old adage that when in a hole one stops digging?

Daniel Hannan (together with Douglas Carswell) is ‘big’ on direct democracy, in fact they have written quite a few pamphlets on the subject, whilst also publishing their ‘tome’, one entitled “The Plan”. Unfortunately these two politicians disprove the theory that if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, then it must be a duck. Nowhere in “The Plan” is there any mention of the possible reduction of the number of MPs through adoption of direct democracy and the whole tome is basically to bring about a return to the status of ‘pre-1972′, with a few crumbs thrown to the electorate, while leaving MPs ‘in charge’. Incidentally the comment from ‘Salmondnet’ (surely not Alex in disguise?) shows he has no idea of what direct democracy means – and his comment is probably indicative of the general intellectual level of the majority of commenters on the Daily Telegraph – but I digress…..

What this entire question of independence – and any referendum – for Scotland boils down to is a battle between two politicians; one attempting to increase his own personal power base and the other attempting to ensure there is no decrease in his own personal power base. While these two potential despots play their games there is only one loser – the people of the United Kingdom.

That all politicians are but careerists can but bring forth the cry of Henry II who (paraphrasing) asked who will rid us of these turbulent priests who require but one thing – total control of those they are meant to serve?
