The road less traveled

So Britain starts along the path of Brexit, and for or against it our future now is held in the palm of our so called government. My view of for or against has little meaning at the present as the bigger question is can our leader actually be trusted with such a responsibly. In current light I am not so sure she is the person for the job. Not that I trust the opposition any more. The problem and questions  I am left asking are should such a decision even be on the table in such a political climate and what can we do to ensure our rights and needs are protected?

My fear is in current political light and with the rumblings of civil unrest, parliament here in the UK has no place in making such decisions. Especially as they won't clear up the mess from their outing last week,  but instead dig their heels in and say tough that's what's going to happen, regardless of the fact nearly two million people so far , would rather put our leaders head on a spike than continue with her constant path.

Now I am not advocating violence, quite the opposite, but I do wish to remind our government of just how fragile our social history is. We have had a civil war that took the head of our monarch, we have had attempts on our parliament that are now a festival in the year, we have forced our monarchy to cut ties with Europe and change their house name in the last 100 years. We the public are quite intolerant of our governing bodies getting drunk on power. In fact in relation to social history we have been quite well behaved in the last 60 years so a social revolt is actually statistically overdue. With all this in mind , our so called leader is continuing on a very blinkered path. She has chosen to ignore her female predecessor came a cropper to her own party after 3 terms for doing just the same thing, and this time this leader hasn't even managed a year.

In fact the only thing holding her onto her fragile leadership is probably the great cracks of opinion in the main opposition.  But the moment those fractures are plastered over, then there is a chance of a vote of no confidence.

Personally the best way forward I can think of is one we the public like to avoid. Unlike the duel party rule in the last decade we were subjected to, we need a full collation government like we had in world war two. We had a strong leader in the form of Churchill who apart from hands on war experience, had a tendency to change party as the mood took him, having actively been both liberal and tory. He was called by our monarch to make a government that would best serve the country from across all the parties. That's what we need now, a government that will best serve the whole country, stuff political persuasion. It's not an easy call and it's hard to find a good leader who can do such a job, I will be the first to say we as a country got lucky with Churchill last time. But surely somewhere rattling around the houses of Westminster there has to be someone who can focus less on personal political agenda and more on the actual need for calm and commonsense.

Sure it is a rocky path to ask the country to walk, and the tracks have become muddy from years of non use. But just because it's not the common choice doesn't make it the right choice. It a path I would much rather walk that resort to the violent methods of the past, Its clean and democratic, mature and gives a voice to all. Maybe it's because no one has been brave enough to call the current situation what it is that the world is at war, that no one wants to mention this way, but maybe we the public should start. Remember Vietnam was never classified as a war but a police action, but I'm sure very man who served there would say otherwise. And war times call for doing the unusual for the best of the country so may be it's time to walk this less travelled path.
