So.
Just before we get into the nitty-gritty of precisely how the main democratic parties might choose to secure and improve our lives via primary legislation, fiscal planning and public spending, and by employing diplomacy and treaty building and through both institutional reform and the enforcement of the laws, I thought it might be helpful to list, without further commentary, some of the issues which they may choose to face on our behalf by using powers and freedoms that we have lent – or that we shortly will lend – to them.
Foreign affairs.

The
The US Government seems to be happy with all of the above.
Most of the oil-producing countries are governed by people who hate our way of life down to the last detail and wish to change it.
The two most populous countries in the world are undergoing massive industrial revolutions and are competing for scarce resources with us.
Almost anyone, no matter how unconnected with
British foreign policy is largely made by the European Commission.
The European Commission believes in, and constantly and overtly pushes for greater control of member nations’ internal affairs and diplomatic relations.
The economy.
The national debt is equal to a year’s GDP.
Government borrowing is high and getting higher.
There is a massive public pension debt on top of the national debt and only half the people are making any provision for their future incomes.
The private sector and therefore the tax base are contracting.
A workless underclass is massively dependent of welfare benefits.
Most of the banks are state owned, and aren’t lending to business.
The pound is weak.
Imported goods needed for our economic growth such as fuel and raw materials are expensive.
Of the home countries, only
Society.
The native population - and especially the middle class - is largely childless or in one-child families. This is below recoverable replacement levels for the white population.
The elderly are increasing in number and proportion to the working population and surviving largely on tax-funded income and services.
The underclass is growing in size and is growing above the law.
Immigrant families with hostile or otherwise incompatible world-views are reproducing at much higher rates than the natives.
The academy views western civilization as inimical to moral life and is openly subverting it throughout primary, secondary, and tertiary education.
Traditional morality and the family are widely seen amongst the professional classes as opposed to happiness.
A shrinking number of people is educated to a level that they know the first thing about how we are governed, how wealth is created, and how societies grow, flourish and survive.
Government.
75% and perhaps more laws which are made each year derive from the Commission of the European Union.
Many laws are never discussed or scrutinized by Parliament.
The police have abdicated most of their authority to enforce the rule of law.
The courts have abdicated much of their authority to punish criminals.
Government concerns itself with ever-greater quality of life issues.
Government seeks to concern itself with ever-greater and more intimate areas of personal life.
Government proclaims a monopoly of the use of force: a monopoly that it shares with the lawless.
That should keep them busy for a while.
That’ll be £399.99, please.
