So, shock? outrage? unjust? oh your “elected” leaders are not making you happy? this has been going on for hundreds of years. why would it change? it won’t, lets look at a simple yet perfect traditional example, NOvember the 5th, just another joyous addition to our winter consumerist festivities now. It means nothing, its all empty bangs, smoke and pretty lights and that’s all you crave for, nothing’s gonna change no matter how hard you bicker online, no matter how many EDM’s you suggest you’re MP sign, no matter how many only petitions you put your email to. NOTHING.
SMELL THE GLOVE. It’s not who’s “in” that you have the problem with, open your eyes, its the richly adorned gauntlet of Westminster that is fisting your policys, pockets and communities. It makes no difference as to who’s hand is in it up there, they just swap over when you can take no more of the existing media figure head.
RIOT. WHY? another flaccid middle England moral erection attempt at a demonstration against what ever immediate feelings of angry impotence that mobilises whatever faction or fraction of society are currently “mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore”.
ALTERNATIVE? NONE! what are you going to do? spoil your ballot? burn down the houses of parliament and elect some mung bean tofu knitting hippy who lives on a canal as your oligarch in place of your existing mentors? why bother! they’ll only end up as corrupt and bent as the current cronies… ..after a while, but
WAIT, WHAT MOTIVATION? What brings out the best in human nature? what mobilises, what galvanises man belief that he or she must right all that is wrong in life? imminent death.
SO I SAY THIS. equip our elected representatives with flea collars, ruffles of explosives, their period in office will be their final term on the planet, the people have the power to elect their successor and also call for a vote of no confidence, all via existing Reality TV mechanisms.
EXPLOIT THE BEST OF HUMAN NATURE, ensure that the elect’s families will be provided for as we currently do for our royality or business leaders, on execution day their could be a telephone vote for a reprieve but this would have to be based on weekly results accumulated.
If the collars are a step to far, anyone up for a hanging, always traditionally a crowd pleaser!
