Politically, Where are we going? Is there an end game?

[No dice]

What would success look like for each of the three main parties? Do they have an end game? Is there a point at which they could say, Yes, our work here is done, or is society just plodding on and on with the three main parties battling each other to gain office merely to manage it in their way?

The three main parties have achieved political fusion, Red Toryism and Blue Labour !!!

Since this is going to turn into a massive slagging match and nobody is going to change their point of view on politics, at any cost, this seems quite a pointless thread and it won't solve anything. It it will do is entrench people further.

Don't participate then. Simples !

Every great social thinker from Plato to Marx and beyond has come to the conclusion that the end game of society is an ordered version of philosophical anarchy or self-rule. We're still children (the masses) clinging to our parents (governments) for support and for rules, but one day we'll grow up and take responsibility for ourselves and for others.

So where do Cameron and Clegg fit in then? And when, and how, can we take responsibility?

[Cavegirl]

I'm afraid Cameron and Clegg will probably be lost to the annals of history when this comes about.

 

Taking responsibility isn't that difficult, it just means doing things for ourselves rather than relying upon governments. People already make societies run governments just tend to manage it all (often badly and biasedly based upon their ideology). Society doesn't need ideology it can manage perfectly well with philosophy and freedom I'm sure.

An example perhaps?
