Well, I've now officially given up sayin 'surely things can't get any worse'. We're not only down the rabbit hole, we're on our way to the earth's core.
We are now run by the very least amongst us.I
It was terrible. How the fuck did we get to this state in politics? It has taken years, perhaps decades. Personally I blame the system we have which guarantees that any talent is stifled.

Tribalism has got us to this place. I really believe the system we have is the main problem. It is almost impossible for people to break out of the two political tribes and both sides are trapped in the past. The world is moving on technologically and we have been left behind fighting the old battles.We are now run by the very least amongst us.
Even the commons is set up with opposite ranks facing each other in a very adversarial system, with the front benches two sword lengths apart to prevent sharp bladed violence.Tribalism has got us to this place.

I was talking to a friend today (a Brexiteer while I am an unconvinced remainer). I tried to convince him that the entire Brexit debate was irrelevant to the future and that includes the Northern Ireland impasse. If the country can't or won't modernise then we will all be doomed. Brexit has just been a diversion from reality.
