David Cameron’s Legacy.
Ironically David Cameron’s greatest legacy to our country may be to birth a new political movement as people increasingly see that the Conservative party they voted into office is anything but a Conservative party. Finally the wool is being pulled from peoples’ eyes as they discern that Dave’s modernising agenda is obnoxious to significant proportions of the old footsoldiers. Under David Cameron membership of the party has dropped significantly. People may look back at this time in our history and see that it began the biggest political revolution this country has ever seen. Already Nigel Farage is talking of a political earthquake taking place and I believe that he is right. It is debateable exactly when the Conservative party ceased to be a Conservative party. For a start surely a truly Conservative party would never have signed up to the EEC given its major threat to national sovereignty for instance. Surely a Conservative party would never be reluctant to incentivise the traditional family and give it decent tax breaks? How much more will it take to wake us up? Sometimes in the life of a nation something drastic needs to happen before the people really arise. For this opportunity to change things we may actually one day be quite grateful to David Cameron for helping to create a clear choice in the country and for exposing an agenda that a lot of people feel increasingly uncomfortable with. Perhaps the true conservatives left in the Conservative party need to jump ship and join in with UKIP and other conservative movements to form a grand alliance.
UKIP is now a battering ram to help bring an end to the hegemony of the three main parties. It may be an imperfect, rough around the edges, kind of battering ram, with a bit of an image problem to boot, but nevertheless, it’s a battering ram. Significant change in history does not have to come via a smooth talking crowd of sharp suited ‘right on’ type of people, it may often be through ordinary people or those who would not be regarded as of much importance. The rise of UKIP is a healthy sign that there is hope for us yet., and that people are finally seeing through the fog of deception in UK politics.
David Cameron is like the Elisha to Tony Blair’s Elijah. As Tony realised that his earthly ministry was finished someone had to take on his prophetic mantle. As Tony ascended to ‘heaven’ in a chariot David was quick enough not to miss this and Tony’s cloak fell from the chariot and found itself around David’s shoulders. Now David had received double the anointing to finish the mission that Tony had started. The great progressive cause was now safe in Dave’s hands, anointed as well by the BBC. The only thing was that the penny had not quite dropped with the electorate, including me, that we were voting for virtually the same agenda as the one of the party that had been kicked out of office. Funnily enough the ripping away of this deception is creating a watershed in British politics. The media are still talking about the continuing monopoly of the three main parties, but is there something going on under the surface that they are not privy to?
The present deception of party politics:
Who would you like to vote for in the 2015 General Election Sir? We have the Labour party whose previous time in office represented the worst government in living memory, full of radical leftists and ‘world changer’ who opened the doors to mass immigration to knowingly or unknowingly destroy UK culture. Then you have the Liberal Democrats who are anything but and even further to the radical left than Labour, deeply in love with the EU. Or you might want to vote for the ‘Not the Conservative party’ who have now taken on the mantle of New Labour and have decided to continue the process of cultural vandalism, destroying the foundations of our society with the latest great idea of the progressive agenda, gay marriage. What a choice which leaves me high and dry as a swivel eyed loon!
There is barely a cigarette paper between any of the political parties now in terms of choosing between radically alternative worldviews, and it could be said that this is a deliberate deception on the part of the powers that be to create an illusion of difference at the general elections, yet once the election is over they work to push the whole country further and further to the left and consequently government control. In other words the main political parties have been co-opted by the left who will push their progressive agenda whichever party is in power. Thus the population continues to be duped by the idea that when they vote ‘conservative,’ they will get a conservative government. When that conservative government gains power, it continues to push the same agenda as the government that went before. Notice how the Coalition has taken on the New Labour agenda with almost religious zeal. A truly conservative government would have dismantled much of the equality agenda and scrapped the Equality Commission as at the heart of this agenda is government imposed ideology to force the people of the UK into a mould. We would have got a much quicker commitment to at least a referendum on our membership of the EU if the Conservatives really meant business, to give another example. Admittedly the coalition has stymied the Conservatives, but David Cameron seems quite eager to cosy up to them at the next election as well.
The same trend can be seen in the USA. The Republican party may only move the US to the left at a slightly slower pace than the Democrats, but the die is cast. In fact even at the time of Richard Nixon, a Republican who was supposed to pursue a conservative agenda, the American population found themselves in a time of inflation facing wage and price controls from a Republican president! It has been said that Nixon was under the control of big money socialists like Rockefeller.
It is interesting to see present events in the light of all this. David Cameron had not a snowball’s chance in hell of bringing in gay marriage if he had not done a deal with the Labour party and infuriated his base. The two parties are acting as one. With the recent Data Communications Bill, again to what extent are the Conservatives and Labour acting together to recommend that closer control of our personal data is kept on the grounds of national security? The Liberal Democrats this time argued against such control, one would hope on principle, but perhaps they are doing so to create an illusion that there is disagreement amongst the powers that be.
But something interesting is happening in the nation. The lights are going on in peoples’ minds as they realise that there might be a conspiracy being implemented against the British people through the Lib/Lab/Con that continually does what we do not want it to do and does not do what we want it to do. I have reached the point now where I cannot vote anymore for these parties. That is it, and many others are thinking the same way. But there must be a sensible conservative alternative and quickly. Perhaps the UK has to descend further under the spirit of oppression and control before it wakes up, but a significant dent can be put in the progressive march if sufficient numbers of people wake up.
Neither the Conservatives nor Labour have a divine right to govern this country. Yes they have dominated politics for decades, but they are becoming like old wine skins, not fit for purpose. They need to be challenged to the core as they are increasingly disqualifying themselves from governing this nation. I believe that the three ‘main’ parties are terrified of their monopoly being broken, and you can bet your bottom dollar that they will try everything they can to destroy any new opposition to what they want to do. This is why UKIP are having a few rumbles at the moment and the dirty tricks attack dog is being unleashed to discredit them. Yet you only have to look at the continuous scandals that have bedevilled the three main parties to take any attempts at smearing with a pinch of salt.
But they are professional politicians, you say, it is their job to run the country. You need experience in government to do the things they do. Well New Labour did an awful lot of governing and law making after being out of office for eighteen years, whilst the present Conservatives lacked much government experience before they came in. As for the Liberal Democrats, it was all a completely new experience!
The share of the vote taken by the three main parties is declining over the long term, and a sizeable percentage of the voting population do not vote. This is leaving a bigger and bigger vaccum in the nation. This is bad for our system of government because more and more decisions are being taken by governments supported by less and less people. The last New Labour government was voted in by barely 22% (as so many don’t vote) of the adult population to carry out their agenda. What sort of mandate is that? In the nineties in Norway a left wing party received about 35% of the vote to form a government, but they had the grace to go to the KIng and say, ‘We do not have a mandate to govern this nation, therefore we are standing down to allow a re-election.’ Can you imagine that happening in the UK?
I think it is time to let someone else have a go, something new, whether an alliance on the conservative side as I have mentioned or a phoenix arising from the ashes and subsuming the smaller ‘platoons’ like UKIP. All the existing parties had to start somewhere, so why can’t it happen again?
