Re: how do we solve the problem of career politicians
to be more specific, I think a cocktail of 60s social 'reforms', pc and globalisation (shock admission from egb?) is failing. I think some of the problems we have created for ourselves - global warming and demographic decline, cannot be tackled by a society shaped by this formula; a supine, self-interested, atomised victim culture does not possess the moral resources to deal with these issues. simulataneously, there is a rise in alternative social models which seem better equipped to deal with the challenges of the 21st century, to beat us at our own free market game, but also to aggravate global warming. game's a bogey.
