This video is a follow on from the previous video dealing with Political System in the US. If you haven’t seen that video, I would recommend you doing so before watching this one.
As I said in the previous video … I think that the Political System in the States is not fit for purpose. That, unfortunately, is the sorry state of affairs we find ourselves in. But that is the reality and we have to deal with reality, the world as it truly is rather than the world as we would wish it to be. I should also say that only when we identify the problem, can we do anything to rectify it.
The other thing that I want to say is that where there is crisis, there is also opportunity. So, it might be worthwhile turning this crisis into an opportunity. As far as I’m concerned, this represents a unique opportunity to instigate some very necessary changes. Given the situation, I would say that radical and wholesale change is required - so out with the old and in with the new.
I have a proposal which any Americans in the audience might want to consider. It’s related to the British system, but I can’t see any reason why it can’t be applied to America. Moreover, it could be used for every nation – not just Britain or America.
So what is my proposal? Well …
There will be no Government – not as we know it nowadays.
In place of the Government there should be a General Assembly.
The General Assembly itself will be the Government. It will be the ruling body.
All the Members of the General Assembly will be considered as being equal in status.
There will be no Head of State, no President, or Prime Minister.
There will be no Administration or Cabinet.
There will be no second chamber.
There will be no political parties. All political parties will be banned.
Likewise, there will be no interest groups, or lobbyists allowed. Lobbying will be outlawed.
Members of the General Assembly will independent individuals, drawn from local communities who represent the interests of the people in that constituency. They will probably be people who are intelligent, honest, rounded, mature and well regarded, well respected in the community. They will act out of a sense of duty. They wish to serve their community and country to the best of their abilities.
