John Anderson was Leader of the National Party and Deputy PM during the Howard Government. He is a decent man. Before the last federal election, he sought to re-enter Parliament but the NSW National Party told him to nick off. In his place, they selected a party official with no record of achievement in anything, whose name no-one can remember. Anderson is concerned about the state of public debate in Australia. It is appallingly bad and infantile. Anderson says "Good public policy cannot emerge from a bad public debate". The problem is much worse than that. Sadly, #JohnAnderson is trapped in an #OldRight political bubble. Try as he does, he can't escape the assumptions of the Old Right - the British Empire is our home, monarchy is here for good, crony capitalism is our working economic model, managerialism is the proper function of government, career politicians should be trusted to do the right thing, Christian faith is really interchangeable with patriotism, Australian history is a story of explorers and squatters, privilege is unfairly maligned, group-think is a good thing. Public debate is in a parlous state in Austalia because the #Right is still immersed in this worldview, and the #Left is off with the fairies. In every exchange between them, the general public gets nothing but a poke in the eye from each side. There is no enlightenment, no insight, no long-term thinking, no strategic outlook, no working consensus that can emerge from political exchanges between these two exhausted, mutually dependent but moribund, views of the world. It's time for the rest of the country - the 80% of us in mainstream Australia - to get a look in. The narrative of the #politicalclass, its personnel, and its institutions, have outlived their use-by-date.

Today is the day we head to the polls in the UK to vote for our next leadership team, a team tasked with steering us out of the current economic and cultural decline that has turned our once great Nation into the laughingstock of the World. Even the most dedicated Tory supporters have come to acknowledge the urgent need for change after the tumultuous past 14 years. So, as you cast your vote today, please take a moment to reflect on the core values that our once-great nation was built upon: hard work, innovation, leadership, and collaboration. We have never, and should never, stand for racism, bigotry, misogyny, hatred, fear, or any reduction in our civil liberties. A vote for Reform is exactly this – it’s a vote against our fundamental principles and a vote for a darker future for all. Lest we forget 451,000 British people lost their lives during WW2 to fight against the far right. Don’t let these people die in vain. Don’t let the far right get in through the back door democratically. Let's vote for a leadership that embodies values we can be proud of and can guide us toward a more inclusive and prosperous tomorrow.

On 4 May 1979, Margaret Thatcher prays on the steps of Downing Street after being elected Britain's first female prime minister. "Where there is discord may we bring harmony, Where there is error may we bring truth, Where there is doubt may we bring faith, And where there is despair may we bring hope." In 1983, Margaret Thatcher won her second General #Election with a landslide 144 seat majority. 2024, the Conservatives Party wouldn't even select her as a candidate because they would class her as being too right-wing (&maybe too white). Ted Heath (wet) - small majority. John Major (wet) - small majority. David Cameron (wet) - no majority & tiny majority. Theresa May (wet) - no majority. Margaret Thatcher (not a wet) - massive landslides. Boris Johnson (not a wet) - landslide. Mrs thatcher won 3 elections from the right & was the last decent Tory leader. The tories should move to the right. #conservativeparty #politicsandlaw #borisjohnson #conservativewomen #conservative #PritiPatel #IStandWithPriti #illegalimmigration #immigration #rwanda #theironlady #womeninpolitics #womenwriters #margaretthatcher #LabourParty #classwar #economyslowdown #houseoflords #houseofcommons #parliament #government #politicalscience #politicalcampaigns #TonyBlair #governance #london #birmingham #midlands #londoncity #londonprotest #StopTheViolence #DontBendTheKnee #Tory #PoliticsUK #reform #reformuk

As a responsible citizen deeply committed to the principles of unity and harmony, I strongly condemn the communal statements made by the Hon'ble Prime Minister. In a diverse and pluralistic society like ours, it is absolutely imperative that our leaders prioritize fostering inclusivity and mutual respect among all communities. It is disheartening to witness any attempt to polarize communities for political gains. Such divisive rhetoric not only undermines the fabric of our nation but also jeopardizes the peaceful coexistence we have worked so hard to achieve. I urge my fellow citizens to rise above communal divides and vote for unity, equality, and progress. Let us not be swayed by narrow-minded agendas that seek to exploit our differences for personal or political interests. In the upcoming elections, let our vote be a resounding endorsement of unity over division, of inclusivity over exclusivity. Together, let us strive to build a nation where every individual, regardless of their background, religion, or ethnicity, can thrive and contribute towards a brighter future for all.

A really thoughtful perspective.

On the Campaign Trail: The Disconnect Between Westminster and the Real World CEO of Chamber UK, Ben Howlett goes on the campaign trail with The Labour Party Candidates in Milton Keynes, Emily Darlington and Chris Curtis and is surprised to find out what real people are thinking outside the Westminster bubble. Both Darlington and Curtis have realised that the fundamental way to encourage people to vote for them is to not only show that they care, but to demonstrate that they are delivering on their promises. This expedition demonstrated that as the Westminster bubble continues its naval gazing over the gambling scandal, it is imperative to recognise that the rest of the country is yearning for a government and parliament that focus on their genuine concerns. There is a palpable demand for MPs to prioritise their duty to the public and tackle the pressing problems facing their constituents.
