Observing the political shenanigans of recent times, the question arises: Is this really the best we can do?
The charismatic leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party, Farage, resigns after achieving his stated aim ... the other clown and charismatic cheerleader for leaving the EU, Boris, declines his previously obvious ambition to be Prime Minister, having been Mayor of London and having achieved his stated aim of an Out vote, backs down, supposedly on the say so of ridiculous Gove, who then loses the Tory Party vote to two Thatcher clones, one of whom then stands down in favour of a hard line pro-EU minister without any obvious leadership qualities, who is thus anointed Prime Minister for the next four years .... while the smarmy git who did somehow get elected slopes off stage with a smirk ...
Meanwhile, the opposition party, led by a decent chap with socialist principles, albeit without much charisma, is defenestrated by his own MPs, and an establishment woman, without any notable leadership qualities, puts herself forward for the job ....
So, whilst the Age of Aquarius demands feminine qualities of compassion and co-operation, our two female supposed leaders, have the genital qualification without the more important ones, whilst the old chap, who never really wanted the job, has discovered balls to go with the compassion ... though still doesn't look like a leader!
Now, the population of the UK is around 65 million and quite a few of them are eligible to be Prime Minister, or could be in the event of General Election or Insurrection ... many of them have the compassion and intelligence to do it ... so where are they?
Perhaps politics is so tarnished that suitable game changers are focusing instead on social projects or enterprise. ... or enterprising social projects .... Juliet Davenport of Good Energy for example ...
It has been suggested that wanting to be a politician is so tarnished that such a desire should result in immediate disqualification ... that when such a role is required, folk should be drafted in for as long as that issue is alive, then returned to their previous places ... such things are tried in Austria with Wisdom Councils ...
How much longer will leaders be needed? This role is suspect too, since energetically the Dracula effect comes into play ... a leader gains power from followers and then we really have to pray their intentions are pure ... power, it is said, corrupts ... history shows us, herstory too sometimes ...
Is the question really transcending all the games of power ... are would-be leaders just needy people, seeking energy boosts? And as above so below applies, as always ... personal relationships are no different to political ones ... is psychology the answer?
Time for a lie down ... so many questions ... this writer, sometime leader, would be activist is addressing the observation made in the cards "Your relationships are a reflection of you" ... mostly in solitude for the theory, but the practice will have to follow soon ...
