The World Needs Saved...

Is the UK political system, and other similar systems across the world, broken? This question is not aimed at countries which are known dictatorships or monarchies. This is aimed at what are regarded as true democracies where there is more than one party and elections are more or less free and fair. For the most part I'm focusing on the UK since that's the system I'm most familiar with, but the question still stands for elsewhere.

Like the title suggests this will most likely be the first of many rants about the, well I was going call it farce, but while there are many funny things about the Brexit process the thing itself is not. Think of a dragon swooping down out the sky. It flies o ver Lond on a few times then smashes into Number 10, says "boo" to the PM who simply looks back up at it denying it could mean anything other than an opportunity to declare the superiority of the British Empire at which point the dragon eats the PM, takes a big dump in the nearest conference room and leaves. Everyone thinks this is fucking hilarious until you realise that some fucking idiot in the Tory party let the bloody thing out and it is now eating everyone in sight because it doesn't fucking care about anyone and probably worst of all the UK has to face up to the fact that Boris Johnson is probably now PM and Jacob Rees- Mogg is Chancellor. So yeah really funny until everyone is poor and dying.

I feel that after outlining what I going to be writing about on this blog that need to pick my first subject carefully. But before I do that, I want to be clear. I am not an investigative journalist. I do read a fair amount, especially when it comes to the news. If there is something I feel I don't understand then I do like to look it up and do a bit of basic fact checking. But this blog should be considered, as with most of the news these days, as an opinion and not absolute fact. I am not doing this to spread lies or bring people down.

The World needs saving. It's a rather bold statement if somewhat obvious. But saving from what? Today the world and the people in it probably face more cataclysmic dangers than at any other time in history. Disease, war, climate change, environmental disasters, new technology and let's face it people in general.
