Well, hello?
We're being drowned by news of a hung parliament in Britain.
Jolly ho!
Rather than fill my first few paragraphs with a brief of events over there post-2010 British elections, I'll see how I go without a warm-up?
A repeated phrase, from all of the 3 party leaders, is “in the national interest”.
Hmmm..?
Which “nation”?
England, Scotland, Wales or the colony of Northern Ireland?
OH! All of 'em!
Hmmmm.....?
As “Britain” is one of the most powerful “nations” on Earth today, only by way of being the most ruthless, vicious, blood-thirsty, etc, etc, (HELLO! MI6!) and by way of plundering and colonizing the largest number of other “nations” over the last 500 years, or so, and as “Britain” “assumed” the dominant, leadership chair in their slowly dying “Commonwealth”, and for that, have directed and forced those colonies to be how they/we now are - mostly failed states - there's a few things to consider today, after the 2010 “British” election.
One is exactly where this notion of “nation” ends?
Where ARE Britain's borders exactly?
This might lead to the question of where, therefore, does “the national interest” end?
Clearly, “Britain”, as we define it today, is the bighouse mob they are, because they still have enormous influence and control in many other “nations” of the big ball, having stolen extraordinary amounts of booty over the colonial period.
As this election is centred at the English/British parliament, called “Westminster”, the place where many parliamentary systems now underpinning many of those “Commonwealth nations” have their origin, is it a given that any reforms to the “British” system will flow on to the other nations?
Another pop-up question before I jump on the 'net and go serfing, is, what percentage of Brits bothered to go to the polling booths and cast a vote??
As it's all a casual affair, over there, and as at times there have been notably low turnouts, I re-put an old line of mine, which may not be necessary to put again because I've heard a few British polies this time say that “the system is broken”, a line which states that in a voluntary voting system, any percentage of over about ten percent (10%) who do not vote, must be counted as a vote of no confidence in the “system”. So when there are over 30% of eligible voters not voting, then the system is DEFINITELY broken. So those non-voters are in fact voting. Etcetera.
Another point on voluntary voting, a system I do not necessarily disagree with, sometimes the weather is bad enough to effect significant numbers of voters. If by chance it's a cold and stormy day on polling day, the drop in votes can be huge, so the results can not be seriously taken seriously, and, by rights, a new election should be held.
That's the REALPolitik view, but as “politics” are today, whether in Britain, the USA, or other voluntary voting nations, the logistics and expenses make that prohibitive.
So.., election Britannia 2010?
Reforms ARE an imperative there, and the Lib/Democrats I'd say, clearly won as many seats as they have because they campaigned on “electoral reform”, amongst others.
So..., complexer it is, and gets...
LDP leader Nick Clegg (Well Done, Outsider!) and his team must now decide which of the big two they will co-alish with to extend the betrayal of Brits.
Funny that the old “change of the guard” rules have played out, so that the “opposition” have won the most seats.
Time to strike up the band, maytes... “Swing to the left, swing to the right, swing all day, swing all night, doh-say-doh and-a-round we go..., earlay in the morning....etc”.
(“Drop your balls upon the floor, swing them round, til they're sore!”
Ironic that the incumbents remain, due to the rules in Westminster, even with a minority.
If Nick Clegg wants to not be strung-up by his own party faithfuls, he surely cannot choose to form a coalition with the conservatives, who aren't interested in a more equitable system?
Labour has been reformist over the last 13 years, by devolving Scotland to having it's own houses again, and Wales (I guess?), as well, I vaguely recall other structural changes which seem to have been “reforms”.
So on that issue alone, it would seem Cleggy has only one choice, and defect to Cuba!
HOWEVER......?
Simplifying things “over there” somewhat, “Who-o-o.., is Mista Brown??” (unquote Bob Marley), and what place has he held in that tyrannical mechanism called the “IMF”?
I seem to think he was the treasurer for about a decade, that is, Chancellor of the Exchequer under Tony Blair?
Which sort of brings me back to the qvestion of “exactly where do the nation of 'Britain's' borders end?”
Britain would not have the top-end lifestyles it now enjoys were it not for it's claiming ownership of “Australia” for one, and the many other previously sovereign nations.
So, this leads to; Surely it is a must, today, for 'Britain' to consider “in the national interest” to mean “...in the planet's interest”?
I recall a statement from one Tony Blair about a decade ago, which said that “Britain could no longer consider ethics in it's foreign policies” or something similar.
“...Could no longer....?!?!?!”
Of course, by “Britain” he meant the likes of British Petroleum, and, Lloyd's Bank, and other resource capitalists and financiers of Bigplunder Inc.
In light of GFC part two (pending), and in ascertaining it's root cause - bigplunder and hold the ethics - any SERIOUS new government in Britain would seek primarily to put “Ethics” back on the mantelpiece, methinks.
It is interesting that “The Greens” were not in the race over there. Is this a silent recognition within Britain that they are on top of the developed nations' tree, because they have been so mutilating of the planet's environment for centuries, and for what this untenable and unethical attitude has brought the Brits, in having the highest average of material wealth, it is now obviously impossible for them to “Go Green!” like many other “”nations” are, because it would be an admission of guilt, or such?
Congrats to the Brighton Green M.. Lucas! By the way.
Looks like y' gonna be a bit lonely, luv?
As Nick Clegg is allavasudden the “king-maker”, and as he says the LDP are Reformists, he's in a spot where he can be pretty tough.
He has every right to DEMAND “humility” from both ''red and blue” parties, as there does seem to be consensus that “it's broke!, and as both have been carrying the can forever, it's really THEIR FAULT!
So much, therefore, that Cleggy (almost) has the right or indeed the duty, to assume the Chair hisself!
If they're really talking REALPolitik Reform, then without stalling the processes of governing the er.., “nation” tooo much, NiClegg would shake the stale bread from the box by insisting on a tripartite government, and do away with two and more “sides” altogether!
If Aunty ''Lizzie's cuz (Davie Cameron) can't admit that “Westminster” is out of date, and that the “right” were so-called because they sat on the side closest to the door to the privy (joke!) (in the 1500s), and that it was the side preferred by the LANDOWNERS of the era, then TO THE STOCKS WIFF 'IM!!!
Today, all things considered, as “Britain” is so high-up the ladder of power and influence etc, and as the world teeters on the edge of “GFC part two - The Sequel”, it is time they got off their padded fannies and began doing the Maths in there that 'ouse of parlayment!
One reality is - that were Britains' “Houses” to get SERIOUS about their own economy, then they would have to get SERIOUS about the world's economy as well.
What effect, for example, would Australia becoming a Republic have on Britain's economy and politics?
Can the world, and thus Britain, continue on the unsustainable path of over-consumption, without some serious impact upon the lives of the British?
Of course not!
And what about the plights of Greece, Spain, Portugal, et al, and thus the Euro-zone, and the impact upon Britain?
I reckon, from my retirement ute, that Britain, or it's political elite, is better-off biting the bullet now, by ignoring the tremors and curses from the stock-markets and the banks, and start talking seriously about FUNDAMENTAL Reforms to their economy, not just their voting system
Surely the howls and weeping from the share-holders and future's markets hotshots are easier to bear, and deal with, than the streets of Britain erupting with the violence we see in Athens today?
If one more Eurapean “nation” goes-off like Greece is now, it's gonna get REALStikkee elsewhere, and that will be next-to-impossible for any government to handle, short of sending in the troops to shoot their own citizens, en-masse.
Besides... it's just not British, say what, ol' chum?
Prevention is always better than the cure.
Britain's tentative predicament now, as with that of the rest of the “Euro-zone”, is solely due to the rampant arrogance of their collective abuse of force over the rest of the world under the auspice of the IMF, dating back centuries.
So “Reforms” must institute fundamental changes to the way the “euro-zone” aka the IMF, plunders the rest of the world, from the USA to Zimbabwe, from East Timor to the West Indies.
This means that the world's biggest plunderers who rose to dominance under the protective wings and armies of the IMF, previously the British East India Company, bigplunder such as today's Rio Tinto (etc), and their global banks (HSBC and the Swiss counterparts) and their networks and sub-branches, must be told to acquiesce to regionally local government systems of taxation, etc.
However, as that “nation” of “Britain” so influences the world today, they will not be treated as being sincere, they will not be taken seriously, unless they lead the world in unifying the world's systems of taxation, where resources and mining etc are concerned, so that the bigplunder corps cannot simply up-stumps and move to a poorer or other region to avoid paying what is justly due.
This game of the bigplunder nations, of which “Britain” is number one, of forcing the rules upon others purely so that those rules best suit the bigplunderer, and “”the devil may care” about the plundered nation, has to stop.
Again, it has been this ruthless and supremely arrogant attitude from the very likes of Britain, which has brought the current and looming economic AND environmental disasters upon the world.
So.., “prevention is better than cure” would be a wise adage for NiClegg to adopt in the coming days, weeks, months and years. Indeed centuries!
I hope he, at least, sees that Green Economics is but THE Vital basis upon which to act, in the coming....
Indeed, as most all of the planet's Original Peoples - The Aborigines - would agree with, no economics, and no laws have precedent over the Highest ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
The Highest Economic laws, in fact, have their Foundation in these.
“BP” the corporation now slurping their profits away in the Gulf of Mexico, the corporation now and forever to be known not as “British Petroleum”, nor HOHO! “Better Petrol”, but as “Biggest Polluter”, yet another bigplunder corporation of the IMF, must be brought to fully recognise that Environmental Laws precede ALL economic laws and laws fabricated to ensure profits of the most powerful few.
As US President Barack Obama has said “the big game is over”.
Therefore, if any of the big three British political parties are serious about GOOD Government, Reforms cannot begin, without ALL OF THEM, adapting the “in the national interest” slogan, to read “in the GLOBAL interest”, and that cannot proceed, without their collective agreement to effect MAJOR Reforms to their parent company, the IMF, and to setting up IMMEDIATELY, a Global Charter for the Standardisation of Taxation.
Or such.....
All these, are within your Rights, Duties AND Reach, to Perform, Nick Clegg!
If, that is, you ARE focused upon putting the “national-cum-GLOBAL interest” before party interests?
Jolly ho!
