When all political parties are infected with the same groupthink then democracy becomes a farce, and it&#039;s how the views of the minority prevail. Come election time and it&#039;s pointless sparring, pretending they offer choices; but try to pin them down on the issues people care about, like net zero and its results, open borders, the enforcement of DEI, and they all read from the same script.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think that sticking with people you know and favouring them is generally a good thing. It fails when people in power, decision makers at any significant level, start to defer just because the applicants for funding or favour are adherents of some fashionable beliefs. In such situations the decision makers are compromised by their craving to be seen as &quot;in tune&quot; with those beliefs and the power relationship gets inverted. The parasites become the bosses which is where we are today.]]></description>
