Right now the media are bringing up the fact that Starmer may not last politically this year out. If that is so then we shall soon have a leadership challenge election in the Labour party. Once again a leader will emerge who has not been elected by the general public.This happens with increasing frequency both here, and if you notice around the world.
In the 80's government leaders seemed more stable and lasted their full term. The last Conservative government had 5 leaders during its reign. What a joke. Its like musical chairs. Every move a leader makes is scrutinized and analysed with equal intensity by 24 hour news. The smallest development is spread out into days of news coverage. It seems everyone has a short boredom threshold including politicians who constantly want to tinker to gain popularity as soon as a little trouble arrives. on the other hand...
Labour won a historical landslide but today the party is turning on its leader ( and no surprise there ) How quickly a huge win crumbles. I guess thats how democracy works, and its a good thing as long as the new person actually delivers true change. The problem is they never do so it all seems like a farce. Whoever comes next must deliver change. The problem is that to elect that savior will require us to vote in faith again in a system that has let us down so often. If people are tired enough they will give the wheel one last spin, and I think it will be the last one.
